FAQs
How do I know if my Manchester home needs a full rewire?
Common signs include frequent tripped breakers, buzzing sockets, outdated rubber or cloth-covered wiring, lack of earth in lighting circuits, or a fuse box with re-wireable fuses instead of modern breakers. If your property was wired before the 1990s and hasn’t been updated, a periodic inspection (EICR) will usually recommend a rewire to meet current BS 7671 standards.
What is the typical cost of a whole-house rewire in Manchester?
For an average three-bedroom semi-detached property, prices start around £4,000–£6,500 plus VAT, depending on size, number of circuits, and finish level (standard white accessories vs. premium). Flats may be less, larger or period homes more. We provide a fixed quotation after a free site survey, so there are no surprise extras.
How long will the rewiring process take and will I need to move out?
A full rewire on a typical three-bed house takes 5–7 working days. Larger or heavily furnished homes can take 2–3 weeks. Most clients stay at home; we schedule power restoration each evening and install temporary supplies where needed. If the property is being renovated and unoccupied, the work is quicker and cleaner.
What regulations apply and will I receive certification?
All domestic rewiring must comply with BS 7671 (18th Edition) and Part P of the Building Regulations. As NICEIC Approved Contractors, we notify Manchester Building Control on your behalf and issue an Electrical Installation Certificate plus Building Regulations Compliance Certificate. These documents are essential for insurance and when selling your property.
How disruptive is a rewire and what about making good?
We lift floorboards, chase walls and replace backboxes, so some dust and minor plaster damage is unavoidable. We use dust-control tools, protect floors, and coordinate with you room-by-room. After wiring, we patch plaster chases ready for final decoration; full re-plastering or painting can be arranged through our vetted partners if required.
