Jay routing new electrical cable beneath lifted floorboards by JD Electricals

House rewiring in Basingstoke

JD Electricals carries out house rewiring for homeowners and landlords in Basingstoke and nearby Hampshire towns. Old circuits come out, new cables go in, and you keep the certificate for the new installation.

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.

Who needs a house rewire

  • A house rewire is for a home where the wiring throughout needs replacing, not one circuit or the kitchen on its own.
  • You want every room on new wiring rather than adding sockets and lights to the old cables.
  • You are changing the layout and the existing circuits will not reach the new rooms and fittings.
  • You let the house and the installation needs replacing so tenants have new circuits and the certificate.

    Arrival

    The electrician arrives and isolates the power so the old circuits in the defined area can come out.

    Installing the new wiring

    New cables are run through the house to the fittings and the consumer unit, which is the fuse board.

  3. 03

    Every new circuit is tested and you are left with the electrical certificate for the rewire.

What a rewire costs

What you get

After a house rewire you have new circuits in a set part of the home, a separate price for finishing, and a written record you saw before work started.

A defined electrical area
The rewire covers a set part of the home so you know which circuits are being replaced.
Finishing work quoted apart
Plastering, decorating and making good are priced on their own, not folded into the £4,800 starting figure.
A record to review before work
You receive a written price and a note of what is being replaced before the rewire starts.

Why customers choose JD Electricals for a rewire

JD Electricals puts the house rewire price in writing before work starts and tests and certifies everything fitted. Anything found during the rewire is priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill.
