As the client’s entire wiring system was replaced during the project, this was the perfect time to move sockets, switches and light fixtures and adding additional features.

Rewiring a house is rarely a quick and easy job, so it is vital to understand what to expect from the process before going ahead. One major factor to consider is that while it is possible to stay in your home during rewiring, there will be mess and disruption. For this reason, particularly if you are rewiring your new house before moving in, it may be easier to postpone your move-in date until after the rewiring is finished. This means that you will not have to be up against limitations such as only being able to use certain rooms, furniture being moved out and lack of power during works.

During the rewiring of your home, you can expect the flooring to be lifted and walls to be drilled, allowing your electrician to access all wiring (don’t worry, these will always be restored to their original condition afterwards). The rewiring itself will be composed of two stages, which typically takes several days to complete; these stages are the following:

• Stage 1: All cables, wiring, circuits and back boxes will be replaced.
• Stage 2: New faceplates will be installed on sockets and switches, along with the installation of new light fittings. Once complete, these will be connected to your consumer unit.

If you are interested in incorporating modern technology into your home, this is also a job that can be factored into the project. Again, this is why rewiring is often a popular option for those moving into a new home, as it allows you to make each room practical for your needs.
