Partial or Complete House Rewires
Focused On What Your Home Actually Needs
As electrical demand in modern homes has increased, wiring systems need to be both safe and capable of supporting how properties are used today.
Across Cardiff, we regularly carry out full house rewires, particularly in older properties where additional sockets, updated lighting, and improved layouts are required. However, we also undertake partial rewires, often focused on specific areas such as kitchens, extensions, or loft conversions.
It’s important to note that a full rewire is not always necessary. In some cases, where parts of the existing installation remain in good condition, a partial rewire can be the more practical and cost-effective option. Where needed, we can carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to assess the condition of your wiring and advise on the most appropriate approach.
The aim is always to leave you with a safe, reliable electrical system that meets current standards, giving you complete confidence in your installation once the work is complete.
Surface vs Flush Rewiring
Planned Around Your Home & Layout
When rewiring a property, there are two main approaches: surface-mounted wiring and flush installation.
A surface installation involves running cables within discreet trunking fixed to walls or ceilings. This is often used where minimising disruption is important or where chasing into walls is impractical.
The alternative is a flush installation, which involves chasing cables into the walls, allowing them to be concealed beneath the plaster. Once installed, the walls are made good, creating a cleaner, more permanent finish.
In most residential properties, flush wiring is the preferred option, although the right approach will depend on the property’s condition and the extent of redecoration planned following the work.
Whichever method is chosen, the process continues with installing sockets, switches, and lighting points, followed by installing the full circuit and thorough electrical testing to ensure everything meets current regulations.
Throughout the project, we work closely with you to plan socket positions, lighting layouts, and any additional electrical requirements, ensuring the final installation is practical, safe, and suited to how your home is used.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our House Rewiring FAQs
How can I tell if my house needs rewiring?
If you currently own a property or are looking to buy one that is 25-35 years old and hasn’t been rewired recently, it will likely need to be rewired to meet current regulations and safety standards. If it is unknown when your property was last rewired, electrical testing of your wiring should be considered, particularly if you are contemplating purchasing a property
Common Symptoms To Look Out For Include:
- Frequent electrical surges or power cuts
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Overheating or scorch marks on electrical sockets or switches
- Buzzing or crackling noises from electrical fixtures
- Outdated or damaged wiring
- Non-functional or outdated electrical sockets
- Tripping circuit breakers or blown fuses
- Burning odours or signs of overheated wiring
- Multiple, ungrounded two-prong sockets.
- Lack of residual current devices (RCDs) in wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
How long does a house rewire take and can I stay in my home?
Most house rewires take between 3 and 10 days, depending on the size of the property, access, and whether the home is occupied during the work. Regarding whether you can remain in your property during the work, it’s completely up to you. In some cases, yes, but it depends on the scale of the work. Full rewires can be disruptive, so temporary relocation is often recommended for larger projects.
Do I get a certificate after the rewire is complete?
Yes, all rewiring work is fully tested and certified. You will receive NICEIC certification confirming the installation meets current safety standards.
