FAQs
How do I know if my Newport home needs a full rewire?
Typical warning signs include constantly tripping breakers, outdated rubber, lead or cloth-covered cabling, a consumer unit with no RCD protection, scorch marks around sockets, or a property that has not been rewired in the last 25-30 years. If you are renovating or extending, Building Regulations may also require you to upgrade the entire electrical system. We offer free on-site inspections in the Newport area to confirm whether a partial upgrade or a full rewire is the safest and most cost-effective option.
What does a whole-home rewire involve and how long does it take?
A rewire replaces every fixed cable, socket, switch, light fitting and consumer unit in the property. We start by designing new circuits to suit your current and future power needs, then complete a first-fix (running new cabling through walls, floors and ceilings), followed by a second-fix (installing accessories and the new fuse board). A typical three-bedroom house in Newport takes 5–7 working days, while larger or heavily furnished properties can take up to two weeks. At the end we issue an Electrical Installation Certificate and Building Control notification.
Will I need to move out during the rewire process?
Not necessarily. Many clients choose to stay in the property, particularly on shorter projects, but you should be prepared for some disruption, noise and temporary loss of power in certain rooms. We normally rewire one area at a time, setting up a temporary supply for essentials like a fridge or internet router. If you work from home, have small children or need continuous heating, you may find it more convenient to arrange alternative accommodation for part of the project. We’re happy to discuss phased scheduling to suit your circumstances.
Are you certified electricians and will my rewire meet current regulations?
Yes. All work is carried out by NICEIC-approved, Part P-registered electricians who are fully insured and DBS-checked. We design and install to the latest edition of BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and comply with Welsh Building Regulations. On completion you will receive an Electrical Installation Certificate, an NICEIC Building Control Compliance Certificate and—if requested—full test results for every circuit, ensuring peace of mind and future proofing for home insurance or resale.
How much does a complete rewire cost and what factors affect the price?
In Newport, a straightforward rewire for a two-bed terrace usually starts around £3,500, a three-bed semi ranges from £4,000 to £5,500, and larger detached homes can exceed £6,500. Key cost drivers include property size, ease of access (occupied vs. empty), the number of sockets and lighting points you require, consumer-unit specification (standard vs. surge-protected), and any extras such as data cabling, EV charger feeds or outside lighting. We provide a detailed fixed-price quotation after an in-person survey, so there are no surprises later.
What steps do you take to minimise disruption and leave my home clean?
Before starting we protect floors and furniture with dust sheets and offer the option of plastic zip-wall screening in high-traffic areas. We chase walls using dust-extraction tools, run cables in existing voids wherever possible, and patch plaster to a ready-for-decorating finish. Waste copper and packaging are removed daily, and at the end of the job we perform a deep clean and walk-through inspection. Our goal is to leave you with only one task—decorating—so you can enjoy your newly rewired, future-proof home without hassle.
