Do I need a rewire?
Good wiring can last for many years, but older installations can become inadequate and unsafe over time and as electrical demand grows.
You may need a house rewire if:
Your property still has old rubber, lead, or fabric-insulated cables.
Fuse boxes have not been updated for many years.
Sockets are limited or poorly positioned.
There are a lot of electrical issues, such as flickering lights or tripping circuits.
You are carrying out a major renovation.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) recommends it.
The installation fails to meet current safety standards.
If you're unsure, we can provide honest advice on your best options
FAQs
How long does a rewire take?
A full rewire usually takes around 10 days for an average 2–3 bedroom property. Larger homes or those with difficult access can take longer.
Does a rewire include a new consumer unit?
Yes, a full rewire will usually include a new consumer unit (fuse board) to ensure your system meets current safety standards and regulations, including RCD protection.
Can I live in my house during a rewire?
Yes, but it is often uncomfortable, disruptive, and will potentially cost more. Power and lighting will be switched off in phases, and walls/floors may be opened up.
Many homeowners choose to move out temporarily, especially during full rewires.
Will a rewire damage my walls and ceilings?
A rewire will usually involve lifting floorboards and chasing walls, which means some damage is unavoidable. However, we always aim to minimise disruption.
Making good, filling and final plastering should be completed by a plasterer/decorator.
Will I receive certification?
Yes, you'll receive an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate following completion of the work.
How much does a full rewire in Norwich cost?
The cost of a full house rewire typically ranges from £3,000 to £7,000+. It all depends on the size of the property, the number of rooms, accessibility, and whether the property is occupied during the work. Larger or older properties with more complex layouts may cost more.
