What happens on the day
A full domestic rewire is an extensive project carried out methodically. Power is safely isolated, existing redundant wiring is removed or bypassed, and new circuits are installed before final testing takes place.
- Safe electrical isolationThe incoming mains supply is isolated so work proceeds under safe conditions. Redundant cabling is disconnected from the distribution point, and pathways for the new installation are identified through floors and walls.
- First fix cable runs and back boxesNew cabling is drawn through floor voids, wall chases, and ceiling cavities. Metal back boxes are sunk into brickwork or fixed to stud partitioning at agreed positions for every socket and light switch.
- Second fix accessories and consumer unitOnce plastering or preparation allows, switches, sockets, light fittings, and cooker points are connected. All new circuits are terminated inside a modern consumer unit fitted with individual circuit protection.
- Circuit testing and certificationEvery installed circuit undergoes instrument testing to verify earth continuity, insulation resistance, and correct polarity. The results are logged and supplied on the final electrical installation certificate.

“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 the difference between a partial and full house rewire?
A partial rewire addresses a specific section or single room, such as a new kitchen or an extension, while retaining the existing wiring elsewhere. A full house rewire removes or disconnects all old circuits in the property, replacing every cable from the incoming consumer unit out to every switch, socket, and light fitting.
Do I need to leave the house during a rewire?
While it is possible to remain in the property, floorboards are lifted and the power must be turned off for sustained periods while new cables are installed. Many homeowners prefer to vacate during the noisiest and most disruptive first-fix phases to make the work faster and less intrusive.
Does a rewire quotation include plastering and painting?
No. The electrical quote covers pulling cables, fitting back boxes, connecting accessories, and testing the system. Chasing cables into solid walls leaves channels that need filling. Plastering, making good, and redecorating are quoted separately so you can decide how the finishing work is handled.
What paperwork will I receive once the rewire is finished?
Upon completion and testing, you receive an official electrical installation certificate detailing all new circuits, the consumer unit specification, and measured test values. This confirms the new electrical system complies with modern safety requirements.
Can I add extra sockets or change light positions during a rewire?
Yes. A full rewire is the ideal time to add extra socket outlets, reposition light switches, or plan downlights. All requirements are documented in the initial written quotation so that cable pathways and back box positions reflect your exact layout before installation begins.
