What happens on the day
A full house rewire follows an orderly process to strip out deteriorating circuits, install new cables, and verify that every point functions correctly.
- Power isolation and preparationWork begins by isolating the existing electrical supply so old circuits can be disconnected safely before fresh cabling is routed through floors and walls.
- First fix cable installationNew wiring is run through the building to every designated socket, lighting point, switch, and cooker position, connecting directly to the consumer unit location.
- Second fix accessory fittingSwitches, socket outlets, light fittings, and the new fuse board are connected to the cables, preparing the entire installation for full energisation.
- Circuit testing and verificationEach newly installed circuit undergoes thorough instrument testing to ensure correct polarity, insulation resistance, and earthing before the system is 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.”

WhatsAppWhat 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.
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.
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.
