A full rewire is the process of replacing a home's entire electrical wiring system, including sockets, lighting, and circuits. The purpose of rewiring is to ensure the home's electrical system is safe, meets current regulations, and functions efficiently.
Here are some things that are typically involved in a full rewire:
- Removing all existing wiring
- Installing new electrical wiring, including cables, consumer unit, and back boxes
- Rewiring power and lighting circuits
- Rewiring telephone and TV aerial sockets
- Adding or moving switches, sockets, and light fixtures
- Adding cabling for new technology, such as speakers, CCTV cameras, and automated lighting
A full rewire is usually recommended when a home starts experiencing more frequent electrical issues. Faulty wiring can cause a home to overload with electricity, shut down, or not produce enough power to run the home.
The cost of rewiring a house can vary depending on several factors, including the size and age of the house, the amount of structural work required, and the number and quality of fittings. On average, rewiring a house can cost between £3,500 and £12,000 and take about a week to complete.
