Rewiring
Old wiring and fuse boards replaced room by room, with lights and sockets working every evening.
- Done while you live there
- Floors lifted and laid back
- New board with surge protection
What a rewire includes
All new cables
Every circuit replaced with modern cable, run where you will never see it.
A new consumer unit
Safety switches on every circuit and protection against power surges.
Sockets where you live
Extra sockets and USB points placed for how you use each room.
Lighting circuits
Room by room, with dimmers and outside lights if you want them.
Making good
Chases filled and floors relaid, ready for your decorator.
Certificate
An installation certificate and the building control notice.
One room at a time
We start in the rooms you use least and finish in the kitchen. Each evening the house has light, heat and somewhere to charge a phone.
A three-bedroom house usually takes five to seven working days. We lift floorboards, not ceilings, and lay them back the same day.
At the end you get a tidy house, a labelled board and a certificate.
Good to know
How do I know if I need a rewire?
Rubber or fabric-covered cable, a board with old fuses, sockets in the skirting or lights that flicker are all signs. A condition report will tell you for certain.
How much does a rewire cost?
A typical three-bedroom house in Leeds costs between £4,800 and £6,500, including the new board. The visit to price it is free.
Will there be much mess?
Some dust, which we sheet and vacuum as we go. We fill every chase and leave the walls ready to paint.
