FAQs
What exactly is a whole-home rewire, and why might I need one?
A whole-home rewire involves removing most or all of the existing electrical cabling, sockets, switches and consumer unit, then installing brand-new wiring that meets current safety standards (BS 7671:18th Edition). Homes in Duff that are over 30–40 years old often have outdated insulation, undersized circuits or insufficient earthing that can’t safely handle today’s power demand. A rewire eliminates fire risks, reduces the chance of shocks, adds capacity for modern appliances and future-proofs the property for smart technology or electric-vehicle charging.
How can I tell if my Duff property really needs to be rewired?
Typical warning signs include frequently tripping breakers, warm or discoloured sockets, a shortage of outlets (relying on extension leads), rubber or cloth-covered cabling, and a fuse box with ceramic rewireable fuses. If your electrics haven’t been inspected in the past 10 years, we recommend an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). Our qualified electricians will test insulation resistance, earth continuity and RCD performance and then advise whether a partial or full rewire is the safest solution.
How long does a full rewire take, and will I need to move out during the work?
An average three-bedroom house in Duff usually takes 5–7 working days to rewire, depending on the property’s size, access and whether extra features (data cabling, external lighting, EV charger) are included. For safety and speed, we typically work in two phases—first-fix (running cables, cutting chases) and second-fix (installing sockets, lights and consumer unit). You can often stay in the property, but you’ll be without power in sections at times and there will be dust and limited access to rooms. Many clients choose to vacate for the first-fix phase and return for the tidier second-fix stage.
Will a rewire damage my walls and décor, and do you tidy up afterwards?
Rewiring involves chasing channels into walls, lifting floorboards and sometimes drilling through joists, so there is inevitable disruption. We use dust-extraction tools, plastic sheeting and floor protection to minimise mess, and we chase at skirting level where possible to keep repairs simple. Once the wiring is tested, we backfill chases and leave the surfaces ready for plastering; our team can arrange plaster patching and re-decoration if you prefer a turnkey service.
Are your electricians fully licensed, and will I receive certification when the job is finished?
Yes. All our Duff-based electricians are NICEIC Approved Contractors and City & Guilds qualified. On completion we carry out mandatory inspection and testing, then issue an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and Building Regulations Part P compliance notification. These documents prove that your new wiring meets BS 7671 and are essential if you sell, insure or rent out your property.
How much does a complete rewire cost in Duff, and what factors affect the price?
As a guideline, a full rewire of a typical three-bedroom semi-detached house starts around £4,500–£6,500 plus VAT. Costs vary with property size, the number of outlets and lighting points, consumer unit specification, smart-home or data cabling, and whether you want the work carried out in occupied or vacant conditions. After an on-site survey we provide a fixed written quotation that includes labour, materials, waste disposal and certification, so there are no hidden extras.
