FAQs
What is a whole-home rewire and why might I need one in Duff?
A whole-home rewire involves replacing all existing electrical wiring, circuits, outlets, and the main consumer unit (fuse board) with new, safer, and more energy-efficient components. Homes in Duff that are over 30 years old often have outdated wiring that cannot handle today’s electrical loads or may fail to meet current BS 7671 (18th Edition) regulations. Rewiring reduces fire risk, eliminates nuisance tripping, and prepares your property for modern technologies such as smart thermostats, EV chargers, and solar-ready circuits.
How long does a typical whole-house rewire take?
For an average three-bedroom property in Duff, the project usually spans 5–10 working days. Timing depends on house size, accessibility, and whether you remain in the home during the work. We break the job into two phases—first-fix (running cables and installing back boxes) and second-fix (fitting sockets, switches, and consumer unit). We provide a detailed schedule beforehand and keep you updated daily so you can plan around any disruptions.
Will I need to move out while the rewire is underway?
Not necessarily. Many clients stay at home, though you’ll experience temporary power outages, dust, and restricted room access. If you work from home or have young children, you may prefer to vacate for the first-fix stage when floors are lifted and walls chased. We can set up a temporary supply to essential appliances and coordinate room-by-room completion to minimise inconvenience.
How much does a full rewire cost in the Duff area?
Costs vary with property size, specification, and finish. As a guideline, expect £3,500–£5,500 for a two-bed house, £5,500–£8,000 for a three-bed, and £8,000+ for larger or period properties requiring special access. Our fixed-price quotations include materials, labour, plaster repairs, Part P certification, building control notification, and electrical installation condition report (EICR). Finance options and staged payments are available.
What energy-efficiency benefits will I gain from modern wiring?
A rewire lets us add dedicated circuits for high-efficiency appliances, LED lighting, and smart controls. We install RCBO or AFDD consumer units that lower standby losses, fit low-energy downlights, and provide data cabling for home automation. Residents typically see up to 15 % savings on electricity bills thanks to reduced cable resistance and improved load balancing. Future-proof circuits make it easy to add solar PV, battery storage, and heat pumps later.
Is the work certified and compliant with Duff’s local regulations?
Yes. We are NICEIC Approved Contractors authorised to self-certify Part P compliance. Upon completion you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), a Building Control Compliance Certificate, and a comprehensive 6-year workmanship warranty. All materials meet UKCA standards, and we notify Duff & Moray Council Building Standards on your behalf, ensuring your home meets current safety and efficiency codes.
