FAQs
What does a full home rewire involve?
A full rewire means replacing every length of electrical cable, socket, switch, light fitting, and consumer unit (fuse board) in the property. We start by carefully planning new circuits to meet current usage and future needs, chase walls or use surface trunking to run new cabling, install modern fire-safe consumer units with RCD/RCBO protection, and finish with new accessories and a full test and certification. The work brings your installation up to the latest 18th Edition wiring regulations and dramatically improves safety and functionality.
How do I know if my Manchester property needs rewiring?
Common signs include: regularly tripping fuses, outdated fuse boxes with re-wireable fuses, insufficient sockets, fabric-covered or rubber cabling, discoloured outlets, or any installation older than 25–30 years that has never been updated. A professional Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is the best way to confirm; we offer this inspection service and will provide a clear, written assessment and recommendations.
How long does a whole-house rewire take?
For an average 3-bed semi-detached home in Manchester, a standard rewire takes 5–7 working days. Larger properties or projects that include smart-home wiring, data cabling, or extensive plaster repairs may take longer. We give a detailed schedule before work starts and keep you informed daily so you always know what to expect.
Will I need to move out during the rewire?
Not always, but it is often more convenient. A rewire is messy and requires power to be off for long periods. If you stay, we can work room by room and leave a temporary supply for essentials each evening. Many clients choose to vacate for a few days to speed the process and avoid dust and noise. We discuss the options at survey stage and tailor the plan to your circumstances.
Are you NICEIC approved, and will I receive certification?
Yes. Our company is NICEIC Approved Contractor and Part P registered. On completion we issue an Electrical Installation Certificate, Building Regulations Compliance Certificate (Part P), and full test results for every circuit. These documents are essential for home insurance, future house sales, and your peace of mind.
How much does a complete rewire cost in Manchester?
Prices vary with property size, specification, and finish. As a guide, a basic rewire for a 2-bed terrace starts around £3,000–£3,500+VAT, a 3-bed semi typically ranges £4,500–£6,000+VAT, while larger or high-spec homes can be £7,000–£12,000+VAT. Our quotes are fixed-price and itemised, covering labour, materials, plaster patching, certification, and waste removal.
