What happens on the day
Rewiring a home involves planned stages to remove older installations, pull new cabling through the structure and connect to the fuse board. Work is arranged methodically so you understand each phase from initial isolation to final certification.
- Power isolation and lifting accessThe visit begins by isolating the existing electrical supply to ensure the working environment is safe. Floor coverings and access routes are opened up so that original cabling can be disconnected and prepared for removal.
- Running new cables and back boxesNew cabling is drawn through ceiling voids, floor spaces and wall channels to connect back to the consumer unit. New accessory boxes for switches and sockets are positioned and fixed securely ready for second-fix connections.
- Connecting the consumer unit and accessoriesEach circuit is wired into the modern consumer unit, also known as the fuse board, with individual circuit protection. Sockets, light switches, cooker feeds and smoke alarms are fitted and terminated.
- Full testing and certificate issueEvery newly installed circuit undergoes formal instrument testing to verify earth fault loop impedance, continuity and insulation resistance. You are handed the completed electrical installation certificate once all readings are verified.

“Most of my work is domestic: consumer units, full and partial rewires, lighting and EICRs on houses around Basingstoke. I test and certify everything I fit, and anything else I find while I am there gets priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill. The electrician who quotes your job is the one who does it.”

WhatsAppWhat is included in a full house rewire?
A full domestic rewire includes stripping out old redundant circuits, running new wiring throughout the property, connecting back to the consumer unit, installing standard switches and sockets, conducting full electrical testing and issuing the installation certificate. Making good, such as plastering and decorating, is quoted separately.
How do I know if my Brighton Hill house needs rewiring?
Signs that a property may need rewiring include recurring tripped breakers, flickering lights, discoloured socket outlets, rubber or fabric insulated cabling, or an older fuse box without modern trip switches. A domestic electrical inspection can formally verify whether cables have deteriorated.
Can I stay in the house while it is being rewired?
Because rewiring involves lifting floorboards, cutting chases into plaster and isolating the electrical supply for extended periods, many homeowners prefer to vacate during major work. However, if staying on site is necessary, we can arrange temporary power points at the end of each working day.
Is making good included in the electrical price?
No. Plastering, filling chases, painting and decorative making good are not included in the electrical rewiring price. These finishing tasks are quoted separately so you can decide whether to use your own decorator or arrange building work independently.
What certificate will I receive once the rewire is finished?
You receive a formal electrical installation certificate. This document details the test results for every circuit, confirming continuity, insulation resistance and correct trip times for safety devices, serving as evidence of compliance for future property sales or lettings.
