What is a Rewire & What is Involved?
A rewire is an upgrade of a property’s electrical system (lighting/power/heating circuits) through the removal and replacement of old wiring with new cabling and required components (sockets, fuseboards, back-boxes, switches, light fittings etc), in line with current industry standards and regulations [18th Edition Part P BS7671].
Rewires are recommended every 25-30 years.
How Long Do Rewires Take?
Rewires approximately take between 4-8 days (dependent on property and rewire specifications) and involve installing and concealing new wiring in the property’s internal voids (wall/floor/ceiling cavities) Rewires are recommended every 25-30 years.
First-Fix Phase (Pre-Plastering):

- heating, alarms, doorbells, telephones,
