FAQs
What does a whole-home rewire involve, and why might my Cosby property need one?
A whole-home rewire means replacing all existing electrical cables, outlets, switches, and the consumer unit (breaker panel) to meet current BS 7671 wiring regulations. Homes in Cosby built before the mid-1980s often contain outdated PVC or rubber-sheathed wiring that can crack or overheat. A rewire improves safety, boosts capacity for modern appliances, adds more sockets, and increases the value of your property.
How can I tell if my house in Cosby needs rewiring?
Typical warning signs include frequent tripped breakers, flickering lights, warm or discoloured outlets, a fuse box with ceramic fuses, or wiring with black rubber, cloth, or lead sheathing. If your installation is over 25–30 years old and hasn’t been inspected within the last decade, book an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). Our NICEIC-approved electricians will test the system and advise whether a partial or full rewire is required.
How long does a full rewire take, and will I have to move out?
For an average three-bedroom semi-detached home in Cosby, a complete rewire typically takes 5–7 working days, depending on access and finish requirements. It’s usually safer and quicker if the property is vacant, but many clients stay put. We can phase the work room-by-room, maintain temporary power, and tidy up daily to keep disruption to a minimum.
Will a rewire damage my walls and décor?
Some chasing of walls and lifting of floorboards is unavoidable because cables must be routed in safe zones. However, our team uses dust-controlled chasers and floorboard lifters to keep mess down. We patch plaster chases and fill chisel holes as part of our standard service. If you prefer, we can coordinate with local Cosby decorators to complete final re-plastering and painting.
Do you handle permits, Part P compliance, and certification?
Yes. As NICEIC Approved Contractors, we notify Blaby District Building Control of notifiable work under Part P on your behalf. After completion you receive: (1) an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) covering all new circuits, (2) the Building Control Compliance certificate, and (3) a six-year workmanship warranty backed by the NICEIC Platinum Promise.
