House rewiring in Essex & London
Full and partial rewires for older or unsafe wiring — fresh cabling, a modern consumer unit, and a certificate at the end. NICEIC-certified, carried out tidily, and signed off properly.
Does your home need rewiring?
If your property still has its original wiring, a rewire is often the safest long-term fix. Tell-tale signs include an old fuse box with rewireable (ceramic) fuses, rubber, fabric or lead-sheathed cabling, not enough sockets, scorch marks, or breakers that trip for no obvious reason. Homes that haven't been rewired since before the 1980s, or that you're renovating or buying, are common candidates.
Not sure where you stand? An EICR safety inspection will tell you the condition of your installation and whether a full rewire, a partial rewire, or smaller remedial work is what you actually need.
What a rewire includes
- New cabling run throughout the property, replacing old or damaged circuits
- A modern consumer unit (fuse box) with RCD/RCBO protection to current regs
- New sockets, switches and accessories where needed
- Smoke/heat alarms and earth bonding brought up to standard
- Full testing, an electrical installation certificate, and building-control notification
- Tidy work — dust sheets down, mess cleared, making-good kept to a minimum
Full or partial rewire?
A full rewire replaces every circuit and the consumer unit — the right call for older homes or major renovations. A partial rewire tackles only the circuits that need it (for example a kitchen, an extension, or an unsafe section), which keeps costs down when the rest of the installation is sound. We'll advise honestly on which makes sense after a look round.
How much does a rewire cost?
It depends on the size and age of the property and how easy the wiring is to access. As a rough guide across Essex and London, a flat starts from around £2,500, a typical three-bed runs about £5,000–£8,000, and a four-bed £6,500–£10,000.
