How Do You Know When An Old House Needs Rewiring?

There are several warning signs that can indicate that old wiring needs replacing, including circuit breakers that keep tripping, flickering lights or the smell of burning. If you suspect that an older property needs new wiring, then you can contact us and our team can test the electrical system and provide a full report.


How Much Does A Full House Rewire Cost?

The cost of a full house rewire starts from around £3000 and can go up from there. The full price will depend on many factors, including the size of the property and the current condition of the existing wiring system, as well as how many light fixtures and plug sockets are needed. Our team can give you a full quote for your rewiring work and any other services you need, so contact us today.


Does A Property Need To Be Empty For A Full Rewire?

For a full house rewire, it is recommended that a property is vacant, as the work often requires walls to be removed or cut into and plastering to be carried out. Floor coverings also need to be removed and replaced, so we often suggest that properties are vacated before the work begins.


How Long Does It Take To Rewire A Property?

Rewiring a house can take between 5 and 10 days or longer, depending on the state of the property, its size and the number of new electrical sockets and switches needed. It may take longer to fully redecorate the property once the rewiring job is completed. When you book with HG Electrical, our team will provide you with an estimate of how long the work will take and discuss any delays with you as soon as possible.
