FAQs
How can I tell if my Newport property needs a complete electrical rewire?
Typical warning signs include constantly tripping breakers or blowing fuses, lights that dim or flicker when appliances start, warm or discoloured outlet plates, a lack of grounding (two-prong sockets), or wiring that is older than 25–30 years, especially rubber-sheathed or aluminium cabling. If you own a Victorian or 20th-century home that has never been upgraded, a periodic inspection report (EICR) from a qualified electrician is the safest way to confirm whether a full rewire is required.
How long will a whole-home rewire take and do I need to move out during the work?
A typical three-bedroom Newport home takes 5–7 working days to rewire, although larger properties or complex smart-home installations can extend the schedule. We plan the project room by room so power is restored to essential circuits each evening. Homeowners can usually remain in the property, but some customers prefer to stay elsewhere for comfort and to avoid dust and noise. We will discuss a phasing strategy with you during the survey to minimise disruption.
Who handles permits and inspections for a rewire in Newport?
Our team is fully NICEIC-approved and Part P compliant. We notify Newport City Council Building Control of the planned works, arrange the required inspections, and issue you an Electrical Installation Certificate on completion. All paperwork is lodged with the local authority for your records and future property sale—so you don’t have to worry about forms or red tape.
What does a full rewire cost and what factors influence the price?
Costs in Newport start from roughly £3,500–£4,500 for a small flat and £5,500–£7,500 for an average three-bed house. Price varies with property size, number of circuits, consumer unit specification, choice of fixtures, need for chases in solid walls, and any upgrades such as data cabling, EV charger feeds or smart-home control. After a free site survey we provide a fixed written quotation so there are no surprises.
Will a rewire ruin my décor or require extensive plastering?
We use modern chasing equipment with dust extraction to cut neat channels for cabling, lift floorboards carefully, and protect carpets and furniture. Where possible we reroute cables through loft spaces or cavities to minimise surface damage. At the end of the job all chased areas are filled and made good, leaving only light sanding and decoration required. If you would like full patch-plastering or redecoration we can include it in the quotation.
Are you fully licensed and insured, and what warranty do you provide?
Yes. We are NICEIC Approved Contractors, City & Guilds qualified, and hold public liability insurance up to £5 million. All labour and materials are covered by a 6-year workmanship warranty backed by the NICEIC Platinum Promise. You will receive an Electrical Installation Certificate and Building Regulations Compliance Certificate for complete peace of mind and to satisfy future buyers, insurers and mortgage lenders.
