About Our Rewire Service in Repps with Bastwick
A rewire replaces the fixed wiring: cables, back boxes, accessories and usually the consumer unit. Your appliances stay as they are.
It starts with a survey to establish the earthing arrangement (TN-S, TN-C-S or TT), the rating of the incoming main fuse and the circuit schedule the property actually needs. First fix follows. Floors come up, walls are chased, and new twin-and-earth runs to every point. Second fix is the sockets, switches, fittings and the terminations at the new board. Then inspection and testing: continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, earth fault loop impedance and RCD operation.
The paperwork is an Electrical Installation Certificate with the schedules of inspection and test results attached. A rewire creates new circuits, so it is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. Ask for the Building Regulations compliance certificate as well, which comes from the registration scheme rather than from the electrician.
Old wiring is not automatically dangerous. Rubber, lead-sheathed and fabric-braided cable needs to go. Sound 1970s and 80s PVC often does not, and an EICR is what should decide it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my house actually need a rewire?
Not always. Rubber, lead-sheathed or fabric-braided cable from before the 1960s needs replacing. PVC wiring from the 1970s or 80s in reasonable condition often does not, and Approved Document P is explicit that adequate existing cables need not be replaced even if they use the old colour codes. An EICR tells you which you have.
Do I have to move out while you rewire?
Most people stay. Power goes off circuit by circuit rather than all at once, and rooms become unusable in sequence as we work through them. A partial rewire, such as lighting circuits only or one floor at a time, is a real option where a full rewire is not justified.
Is plastering and decorating included?
Chasing walls and lifting floors is part of a rewire. Replastering and decorating afterwards is a separate trade and is quoted separately unless we say otherwise in writing. Whether making good is in the price varies with the job, so get it stated on the quote either way rather than assumed.
How long does a rewire take?
It depends on the number of circuits, whether walls are masonry or stud, whether floors are suspended timber or solid concrete, and whether you are living in the property while we work. Solid concrete floors push cables overhead or into surface containment and add time. Duration comes down to the size of the property, whether it is occupied while we work, and how much of the floor comes up. We give you a day count with the quote, not after.
