Full and Partial House Rewiring in Accrington

Full and partial house rewiring in Accrington for homes with old or failing wiring. We replace tired cable, fit a new fuse box and test every circuit, working room by room so you can stay in the house while the job runs.

Signs Your House Needs Rewiring

Round pin sockets, black rubber cable, a board with wire fuses and lights that dim when the kettle goes on all point to old wiring. Sockets that feel warm are another sign. If the house has not been rewired in forty years, it is worth a look.

More Information

Full Rewire or Partial Rewire?

A full rewire replaces every cable, socket and switch in the property. A partial rewire deals only with the circuits that have failed or are unsafe and leaves the sound ones alone. Testing tells us which you need, and a partial job costs less.

What Happens While the Work Is On

We lift floorboards, chase cable into walls and work one area at a time so the rest of the house keeps power. Chases are filled ready for decorating. Most families stay in the property throughout, and we tidy up at the end of each day.

About us

Rewiring is the biggest electrical job a house will ever have, so it needs planning rather than guesswork. We test the existing wiring first, agree what is being replaced, then work through it circuit by circuit. The finished installation is inspected and certified before the power goes back on for good.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a house rewire take in Accrington?

A three bedroom house usually takes five to eight working days. A partial rewire is often two or three. The time depends on how easy the cable runs are, whether the floors are solid and how much making good is needed. We give a day count with the quote.

Can I live in the house during a rewire?

Most people do. We work one area at a time and put the power back on each evening where we can. The kitchen and bathroom are planned around your routine. Rooms being worked on need clearing, so furniture gets moved ahead of us.

Does a rewire include a new fuse box?

Yes. A full rewire includes a new consumer unit, because an old board will not have the protection the new circuits need. A partial rewire may or may not, depending on the state of the existing board. We tell you which before you accept the quote.
