- Installation of new sockets and switches
- New lighting points and associated wiring

Signs Your House May Need Rewiring
Not sure whether your property needs new wiring? Some signs that an electrical assessment may be necessary include:
- Frequently tripping circuit breakers
- Flickering lights or unreliable electrical circuits
- Damaged or deteriorating cables
- Burning smells or signs of overheating
- An outdated electrical installation
- Insufficient sockets for your household’s needs
A property’s age alone does not determine whether it needs rewiring. The condition of the wiring and the results of an electrical inspection are more important.

FAQs
The cost depends on your property’s size, existing wiring, number of circuits and the work required. Additional costs may apply for consumer unit upgrades or plaster repairs. We recommend arranging an assessment to receive a quotation based on your property.
There is no fixed age at which every house needs rewiring. The condition of the wiring, previous alterations and electrical inspection results help determine whether replacement is necessary. Older installations should be assessed by a qualified electrician.
There is no universal government grant specifically for every household needing a rewire. Some local authority or home improvement schemes may provide assistance to eligible homeowners, depending on their circumstances and location. Check with your local council for current schemes and eligibility.
In some cases, repairing a fault, replacing a damaged circuit or upgrading specific parts of an installation may be suitable. However, these options cannot replace a full rewire when the existing wiring is unsafe or unsuitable. An electrical assessment can help identify the right solution.
Redecoration may be needed after a full rewire because electricians sometimes need access to walls, ceilings and floor areas to install new cables. The amount of making-good work depends on the installation method and agreed scope.
Not every wall needs replastering. Some wiring routes may require small sections of plaster to be opened and repaired. The extent of the work depends on the property’s construction and the cable installation method.
Remove furniture and personal belongings from work areas, clear access to sockets and switches, and protect valuable items. Discuss furniture arrangements, access requirements and temporary power interruptions with your electrician before work starts.
A three-bedroom house rewire can take several days, but the actual duration depends on the property’s layout, accessibility, number of circuits and installation requirements. Your electrician should provide an estimated schedule after assessing the property.
