House rewiring in London - electrical first fix during a refurbishment by Find Electrician
The service

What our house rewiring includes

Every house rewiring job is planned room by room. Therefore, you know exactly what will happen and when.

Survey and circuit plan

First, we inspect the existing wiring and agree where you want sockets, lights and switches.

First fix

Next, we run new cables and fit back boxes, usually before plastering, so the finish stays clean.

New consumer unit

We also fit a metal RCBO consumer unit with surge protection, because a new installation needs modern protection.

Second fix

After that, we fit sockets, switches and lights. In addition, we connect cookers, showers and other appliances.

Testing every circuit

Then, we test each circuit, so the whole installation is proven safe before we leave.

EIC and Part P

Finally, you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate, and we notify the work through NAPIT.

The standard

House rewiring to BS 7671

We carry out every rewire to BS 7671, because these are the UK wiring regulations. In particular, Amendment 4:2026 fully replaces the previous edition on 15 October 2026.

A rewire is also notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. Therefore, we register every house rewiring job through NAPIT, so you receive a Building Regulations compliance certificate.

Full or partial

Full or partial house rewiring?

Not every home needs a full rewire. For example, a kitchen refurbishment may only need new circuits in one room.

Full rewire

This replaces all the wiring, because the whole installation is old or unsafe. It is often best done when the property is empty.

Partial rewire

This replaces the wiring in some rooms or circuits, for example a kitchen, bathroom or extension.

Refurbishments

In addition, we work alongside builders, so the rewire fits around plastering and decorating.

Who we work with

Signs you need it

When does a home need rewiring?

In short, you should book a survey when:

  • You still have rubber, lead or, for example, fabric-covered cables
  • There are old round-pin sockets or, for example, a wooden fuse box
  • An EICR has also given C1 or C2 codes for the wiring
  • Lights flicker or, alternatively, sockets feel warm or scorched
  • You are renovating and, therefore, the walls are already open

Also, our guide to C1, C2 and C3 codes explains what an EICR result means.

How it works

FAQ

House rewiring FAQs

How long does a rewire take?

It depends, for example, on the size of the property. For example, a typical house often takes one to two weeks, while a flat is usually quicker.

Can I stay at home during a rewire?

Often you can, however there will be dust and some power cuts, so an empty property is quicker and easier.

Will a rewire damage my walls?

Because we need to chase some cables into the walls, there is some mess. Therefore, house rewiring is best done before plastering and decorating.

Do I need a full or partial rewire?

It depends on the condition of the wiring. For example, an EICR will show whether some circuits can be kept.

What certificates will I receive?

First, you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate. In addition, we notify the work under Part P through NAPIT.

How do I know if my home needs rewiring?

For example, old cables, round-pin sockets and C2 codes on an EICR are common signs. Also, we can inspect the wiring and advise you.
