I usually recommend staying elsewhere if a full rewire is underway, as floors will be up and power off during the day. For a kitchen rewire, I can work around you with minimal disruption to the rest of the house. ### How do you handle unexpected wiring issues found during the job? If I find unsafe historical wiring or structural obstacles while working, I pause and explain the issue directly. Anything extra is priced separately before I proceed, so there are no surprises on your final bill. ### Will rewiring damage my existing decoration? Chasing walls and lifting floorboards causes dust and leaves channels in plasterwork. Cables are routed carefully to minimise disruption, but filling and painting are needed after the electrical work is finished. ### Can I add extra sockets or USB outlets during a rewire? Yes. Adding extra socket positions or upgraded faceplates is straightforward during the first fix phase while walls and floors are open. ### Why do prices differ between towns round here? Local housing stock is the main reason. Estate housing of one era, so the same board and circuit layout repeats street to street Older or harder-to-access properties take longer, and that time is what a quote is mostly made of.
