Full & Partial House Rewires
A rewire is the biggest electrical job a house ever needs, so it deserves proper planning. A fuse box full of old rewireable fuses, rubber or fabric-coated cables, scorched sockets or simply not enough of them are all signs the wiring is past its best. Plenty of Derby's older terraces, semis and village properties are still running on installations that were never meant to power a modern home.
We go room by room with you before a single cable is lifted, agreeing where every socket, switch and light should go. Floors are protected, walls chased cleanly and everything made good afterwards. Every circuit is tested and certified to the 18th Edition wiring regulations before we hand back, and because we're NAPIT registered we notify the work to Building Control for you. You get a clear day-by-day plan up front, so you always know what's happening and when.

Rewires questions, answered
How much does a full rewire cost?
Every house is different, so we price each rewire individually after seeing the property. You get one fixed price in writing before any work starts, so nothing grows on the invoice.
How long does a full rewire take?
One to two weeks for a typical three-bedroom home, depending on size and whether you're living in it. You get a clear day-by-day plan before we start, so you can work around it.
Can we live in the house during a rewire?
Usually yes. We work room by room and keep the power on overnight wherever possible. For bigger jobs it's sometimes quicker with the house empty, and we'll tell you honestly which suits.
How do I know if my home needs rewiring?
Common signs are a fuse box with rewireable fuses, fabric or rubber-coated cables, warm or loose sockets and too few sockets per room. We can inspect and tell you for certain, and we'll never recommend a rewire you don't need.
