FAQs
Why might a Whitwell property need a complete electrical rewire?
Homes wired before the 1980s often contain outdated cabling, limited circuit capacity, no residual-current devices (RCDs) and accessories that fall short of current BS 7671 standards. A full rewire replaces aged cables and consumer units, adds modern safety protection, increases socket numbers and prepares the installation for today’s high electrical loads, improving safety, compliance and future resale value.
How long will a whole-house rewire usually take?
For an average three-bedroom home in Whitwell, our experienced team typically completes first-fix wiring in 3–5 days and second-fix finishing in another 2–3 days, depending on property size, accessibility and any requested extras (data cabling, EV charger points, etc.). We provide a detailed programme before work starts so you know exactly what to expect.
Do I have to move out while the rewire is carried out?
It isn’t mandatory, but we strongly advise vacating the property if possible. A rewire involves lifting floorboards, chasing walls, isolating power and creating dust and noise in every room. Moving out— even for just the first-fix phase—allows our electricians to work faster and minimises disruption to your daily routine.
What does a whole-home rewire in Whitwell cost?
Costs vary with property size, specification and finish, but as a guide a complete rewire for a typical three-bed house starts around £4,500–£6,500 including labour, standard accessories, a new 18th-edition consumer unit and final test certification. We carry out a free, no-obligation survey and supply a fixed quotation so you have a clear figure before any work begins.
Are your electricians qualified and insured?
Yes. All engineers are City & Guilds-qualified, NICEIC Approved Contractors and fully up to date with the latest wiring regulations (BS 7671:2018+A2:2022). We carry £5 million public liability insurance and £500,000 professional indemnity cover for your complete peace of mind.
Will you arrange inspections and provide certification after the rewire?
Absolutely. On completion we perform a full Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), issue an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and notify Building Control through the NICEIC Part P self-certification scheme. You receive all documentation along with a five-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer guarantees on parts.
