House rewiring services from JD Electricals

House rewiring in Whitchurch

House rewiring in Whitchurch, where period homes have been altered many times and carry wiring added in layers, starts at £4,800 and ends with every circuit new, tested and certified.

“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.”

House rewiring pricing factors

The cost of a house rewire depends on the size of the property and the specific requirements of the installation, with written pricing provided before work begins.

  • The number of electrical circuits and the total count of rooms across the property determine the overall cost.
  • Making good, wall plastering, and decorating are quoted separately from the electrical cabling work.
  • Any additional electrical issues identified during work are priced on their own before being carried out.

Full house rewiring details

House rewiring for domestic properties

  • A complete domestic rewire replaces aged, deteriorating cabling and fittings throughout a home, bringing modern circuit protection and safety to every room.
  • Properties with outdated electrical cables benefit from a complete replacement rather than piecemeal repairs. New wiring connects every socket, switch, and light point back to a modern consumer unit.
  • Altering room layouts, extending living areas, or installing modern appliances requires circuits that reach every new point safely without overloading existing cabling.
  • Rental properties requiring updated electrical infrastructure receive fully replaced circuits and thorough testing documentation to meet current domestic letting requirements.

What happens during a rewiring visit

A full house rewire follows an orderly process to strip out deteriorating circuits, install new cables, and verify that every point functions correctly.

  1. 01

    Power isolation and preparation

    Work begins by isolating the existing electrical supply so old circuits can be disconnected safely before fresh cabling is routed through floors and walls.

  2. 02

    First fix cable installation

    New wiring is run through the building to every designated socket, lighting point, switch, and cooker position, connecting directly to the consumer unit location.

  3. 03

    Second fix accessory fitting

    Switches, socket outlets, light fittings, and the new fuse board are connected to the cables, preparing the entire installation for full energisation.

  4. 04

    Circuit testing and verification

    Each newly installed circuit undergoes thorough instrument testing to ensure correct polarity, insulation resistance, and earthing before the system is certified.

Frequently asked questions about rewiring

Common questions regarding full domestic rewires, scheduling, building requirements, and certification for residential properties.

What does a full house rewire involve?+

A full house rewire replaces the electrical cabling throughout the entire property. Old wiring is disconnected and removed, new cables are routed to every socket, switch, and light fitting, a modern consumer unit is installed, and all circuits are tested and certified.

— James Dunn

How long does rewiring a home take?+

The duration depends on property dimensions, construction type, and whether the house is occupied or empty during the works. Most domestic rewires take several working days to complete first-fix cabling, second-fix accessories, and testing.

— James Dunn

Can a house be rewired while occupied?+

Rewiring can take place while you live in the property, though floors must be lifted and walls chased for cables. Power is restored to essential services at the end of each working day whenever possible to maintain basic living conditions.

Is plastering included in the rewire price?+

No. Plastering, decorating, and decorative making good are excluded from the core rewiring price. Cutting channels into walls is required to run cables, and any subsequent surface repairs are quoted as separate work.

What electrical certification is supplied after the rewire?+

Upon completion and verification of the new electrical circuits, an electrical installation certificate is issued. This document confirms that the installation has been inspected, tested, and complies with safety standards.

Do you rewire rental properties in Whitchurch?+

Yes. Landlords in Whitchurch can book full house rewires to bring rental properties up to date, ensuring tenants have modern circuits and supplying the necessary electrical certification for letting records.

What changes the price of a house rewire?+

The total price varies based on property layout, the overall number of circuits required, the number of socket and lighting points, and whether any specialist equipment or sub-main cabling is needed.
