Rewiring a house is quite a disruptive job for a couple of reasons

Floorboards/carpets will need to be lifted or removed. Channels will probably need to be cut into either your walls or at least your skirting boards. The power will need to be off while the work is carried out.

How do you know if your house needs rewiring?

If you have an older home and it has not been inspected for several years, it may be due a rewire. Signs that you may need to rewire your home include circuit breakers that trip regularly, slight shocks from switches and outlets, frequently flickering or dimming lights, damaged or exposed wires and cables.

Is it worth rewiring a house?

Although it may add to your expenses, rewiring an old home is a good investment. By increasing both the safety and the usability of the property, you increase its value. Potential buyers, too, must gain since the new wiring will prove useful to them for many years to come.

Time to complete may be quicker than you think

A full rewire can take on average up to between 5-10 days, depending on the size of the property. The time taken depends on the number of contractors working and the exact scope of work involved.
