FAQs
How do I know if my Harrogate home actually needs a full rewire?
Common warning signs include continually tripping fuses, discoloured or warm sockets, dated rubber or cloth-covered cabling, a lack of sufficient outlets, and an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) that lists the wiring as ‘unsatisfactory’. Properties built before the mid-1960s that have never been upgraded almost always require a rewire to meet current BS 7671 safety standards. We offer free visual surveys in Harrogate to confirm whether a partial upgrade or full rewire is the safest, most cost-effective option.
What is involved in a whole-house rewire and what will you replace?
A complete rewire removes all existing fixed wiring back to the consumer unit and installs new PVC twin-and-earth cabling, RCBO/AFDD-protected consumer unit, earthing and bonding conductors, back boxes, sockets, switches, light fittings and hard-wired smoke/heat alarms. While the walls are open, we can add extra sockets, data points, EV-charger feeds and exterior lighting supplies. At the end, we issue you with an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), Part P Building Regulations compliance notice, and update the property’s EICR.
How long will the rewire take and will I need to move out?
A typical three-bed Harrogate semi takes 5 – 7 working days, while larger or heavily furnished homes can take two weeks or more. If the property is empty we can move faster and keep dust to a minimum. Many clients remain in the house, living in one or two ‘safe zones’ with temporary power, but moving out—especially during the first-fix chasing and floor-lifting phase—makes the job cleaner, quicker and often cheaper. We’ll discuss the most convenient schedule during the survey.
How much does a full rewire cost in the Harrogate area?
Costs vary by size, specification and access, but as a guide a two-bed terrace starts around £4,000 + VAT, a three-bed semi £5,500 – £7,000 + VAT, and larger detached homes from £9,000 + VAT. Price includes labour, materials, certification, plaster patching and waste removal. Optional extras such as LED downlights, CAT6 data cabling, smart controls or under-floor heating spurs are itemised separately so you can tailor the package to your budget.
Will the rewire be certified and compliant with UK regulations?
Yes. We are NICEIC Approved Contractors, so all work is designed and tested to the latest edition of BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations). On completion we provide an Electrical Installation Certificate, digital test sheets, and we notify Harrogate Borough Council Building Control under Part P. You’ll also receive a six-year workmanship warranty backed by the NICEIC Platinum Promise for total peace of mind.
What preparation should I do before the electricians arrive?
Please clear loft spaces, empty the bottoms of wardrobes, and move fragile items from walls and shelves. We recommend lifting carpets if you plan to replace them later. Our team will protect floors with adhesive film and dust sheets, but rewires are inherently dusty so temporary removal of valuables is wise. Decide on new socket and lighting positions in advance so we can mark out with you on day one and avoid last-minute changes that delay the programme.
