What's included
Faulty or ageing wiring is one of the most common causes of house fires. A rewire isn't just about more sockets, it's about knowing the cables behind your walls are safe for the next 25+ years.
House rewires in Blackpool
Full rewire or partial
Not every old property needs everything stripping out. Plenty of Blackpool housing stock has had sections done at different times, so the sensible starting point is testing what is there. Sometimes the answer is a partial rewire and a new board rather than the whole house, which is a very different job and a very different price.
What a rewire involves
A full rewire means new cabling throughout, new back boxes, new accessories and a new consumer unit, with circuits arranged for how the house is actually used now rather than how it was used decades ago. That normally means far more sockets, properly rated kitchen circuits, and lighting split so a single fault does not black out a floor.
Living in the house while it happens
Most people do stay in. It is dusty and there is chasing into walls, so it is not a quiet week, but we work room by room where possible and keep power on to part of the house rather than killing it all for the duration. We will be straight with you about which days are the worst ones.
Making good afterwards
Chasing walls means plaster repair. Be clear with any electrician about whether making good is included in the price and to what standard, because this is the single most common source of disappointment on a rewire. We tell you exactly what we will and will not put back before you commit.
