Thinking about rewiring your home? It’s a big job, but one that’s very important in terms of both safety and keeping things up to date. Connect Electric has plenty of experience with rewiring jobs, and with over a hundred homes rewired and happy customers to show for it, you’ll be in good hands.

 

What’s Involved in a Full Rewire?

A full house rewire is no small task – it usually takes about a week to complete, and it’s a hands-on job. Every wire and socket in the house needs to be replaced, and if you’re living there while it’s happening, it can get a bit noisy and messy.

If the property is empty, it’s much easier for the team to crack on with the job without disrupting your daily life. But even if you’re living in the home, Connect Electric will work room by room to keep the mess and disruption to a minimum.

How Can You Tell if Your House Needs Rewiring?

The easiest way to know if you need a rewire is to look at the age of your electrical system. If it’s been more than 20 years since it was installed, it’s worth getting it checked. Older systems not only run the risk of being unsafe, but they also don’t meet the modern safety standards required today.

And if your property hasn’t had a rewire in the last 20 years, there’s a good chance it’ll need one to bring it up to code. But don’t worry – Connect Electric can have a chat with you about what’s needed and help you figure out the next steps.

 

Out With The Old

Rewiring isn’t just about safety – it’s a chance to make your home more convenient. Whether it’s adding extra plug sockets, updating lighting in your kitchen or bathroom, or setting up wiring for smart home tech, a rewire can bring your home into the modern age.

How Much Does a Full Rewire Cost?

Costs for a full rewire depend on the size of your home. For a two-bedroom house, you’re looking at around £3,000. Larger homes, like a four-bedroom property, can cost £4,500 or more, and for big properties like mansions, the cost can go north of £20,000.

Factors like where you live, the condition of your existing wiring, and any extra work, such as skimming and plastering, will also affect the price. But as with any big job, it’s always a good idea to get quotes from multiple electricians. Just make sure you go with someone trustworthy, like a Which? Trusted Trader, to avoid any nasty surprises.
