FAQs

How do I know if my Lancing property needs a full electrical rewire?

Warning signs include regularly tripping fuses or breakers, flickering lights, dated rubber or fabric-insulated wiring, a consumer unit without RCD protection, or sockets that get warm or crackle. Homes wired before the 1980s often fall short of current BS 7671 regulations and may require a complete rewire for safety and insurance compliance. Our experienced electricians can carry out an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) to confirm whether a full rewire is necessary.

How long does a whole-house rewire usually take?

For a typical three-bedroom property in Lancing, a full rewire normally takes 5–7 working days. Smaller flats can be completed in 3–4 days, while larger homes or those with complex smart-home requirements may take two weeks or more. We plan the project in two stages—first-fix (routing new cables, fitting back boxes) and second-fix (installing sockets, switches and the consumer unit)—so you know exactly what to expect day by day.

Can I remain in my home during the rewire?

Yes, many clients choose to stay on site, but it does require some preparation. We work room by room to minimise disruption and always leave you with temporary lighting and power overnight. If you have young children, pets or work from home, you might prefer short-term accommodation. We’re happy to schedule the job in phases or during holidays to make life easier.

What certifications and warranties will I receive once the rewire is complete?

Upon completion we issue an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) demonstrating compliance with BS 7671:18th Edition, plus we notify Building Control under Part P and provide you with a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate. All workmanship is backed by our 6-year NICEIC Platinum Promise warranty and manufacturer guarantees on materials typically range from 12 months to lifetime, depending on the product.

How much does a full rewire cost in the Lancing area?

Costs vary with property size, specification and ease of access, but as a guide: one-bed flat £3,000–£4,000; three-bed semi £5,500–£7,500; five-bed detached £8,500+. Extras such as downlights, data cabling, EV chargers or smart-home controls will add to the price. We provide a fixed written quotation after a free on-site survey so you know exactly where you stand—no hidden extras.

Will a modern rewire improve my home’s energy efficiency and value?

Absolutely. New circuits allow the installation of low-energy LED lighting, smart thermostats, and more efficient appliances without overloading the system. A modern consumer unit with RCDs/RCBOs improves safety, which is a big plus for insurers and future buyers. Estate agents report that a recently rewired home in Lancing can command a higher asking price because purchasers avoid the cost and disruption themselves.
