FAQs
Why might my Kingston home need a full electrical rewire?
Most houses built before the mid-1990s were wired to older safety standards and often lack the capacity to serve today’s high electrical loads. A full rewire replaces ageing cables, adds modern RCD/RCBO protection, and upgrades socket counts and lighting circuits to comply with the latest BS 7671 (18th Edition) regulations. Rewiring improves fire safety, eliminates nuisance tripping, and future-proofs the property for EV chargers, heat pumps and smart-home tech.
How long does a whole-house rewire usually take?
For a typical three-bed semi-detached property in Kingston, our team can complete the project in 5-7 working days. Larger or more complex homes may take 2–3 weeks. We schedule work in two phases—first-fix (running new cables and installing back boxes) and second-fix (fitting accessories, testing and certification)—to minimise disruption and keep you informed of progress daily.
Can I stay in the property while the rewire is carried out?
Yes, many clients choose to remain at home. We plan each day’s work so that at least one ring circuit and one lighting circuit stay energized overnight, and we fit temporary RCD-protected supplies where needed. There will be dust and some room-by-room power shutdowns, so sensitive electronics and pets should be protected or moved. If you prefer to move out, we can accelerate the schedule and work extended hours to finish sooner.
What factors influence the cost of a full rewire in Kingston?
Key cost drivers include property size, number of circuits/outlets requested, consumer unit specification, smart-home or data wiring extras, and the amount of chasing required in solid walls. Tailored Solutions Electrical provides fixed-price quotations after a free on-site survey that includes thermal imaging and cable route mapping. VAT, Part P certification and building-control notification are all included—no hidden fees.
Will my new wiring be certified and compliant with Kingston Building Control?
Absolutely. As NICEIC Approved Contractors we self-certify under Part P of the Building Regulations and notify Kingston Council electronically on completion. You will receive an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), Schedule of Test Results and an insurance-backed 6-year workmanship warranty. These documents satisfy solicitors and insurers and add value to your property.
How can I prepare my home before the rewiring team arrives?
1) Clear furniture 1 m away from walls and lift loose rugs. 2) Remove fragile items from shelves to reduce vibration damage. 3) Tell us about any hidden services (alarm cables, data lines, underfloor heating) so we can avoid them. 4) Decide on new socket/lighting positions beforehand; we can supply planning templates. 5) Arrange for a skip permit if extensive chasing debris is expected—our office can handle the application with Kingston Council if needed.
