Partial rewires

A partial rewire replaces the wiring in one area of a property, or on particular circuits, while the rest stays as it is. Common reasons are an EICR that has flagged one circuit, a loft or garage conversion, an extension, a single room being renovated, or sockets and lights that need moving or adding. It can also mean running a dedicated supply to a hot tub, a garden room or a heat pump. The first job is checking the existing installation, because new work has to connect to wiring and a consumer unit that are safe to extend. If the consumer unit has no RCD protection or no spare ways, it may need replacing at the same time, and we will tell you before you commit. Where the older wiring is poor throughout, we say so rather than patching it, and price both options. New circuits are installed, tested and certified, and the parts of the existing installation they connect to are tested too. You receive an Electrical Installation Certificate for new circuits, or a Minor Works Certificate for smaller alterations to an existing circuit. The price depends on how many circuits and points are involved, how the cables can be routed, and whether floors or ceilings are already open. Tell us which rooms or circuits are involved, what building work is happening at the same time, and send photos of the consumer unit and the area.
