Looking for a House Rewires Electrician?

House Rewires in Rochester, Chatham & Strood. Fixed Price, NICEIC Certified.
 

A full rewire is one of the bigger electrical jobs a homeowner will ever have done, and in my experience the ones that cause the most stress are the ones where the scope and the price were not clear from the start. In 25 years of carrying out rewires across Rochester, Chatham, and Strood I have seen the full range: houses that needed a complete strip and start again, properties where only part of the installation needed replacing, and plenty of jobs where the previous owner had done work that looked fine on the surface but was not safe underneath.

I am George, I run Eru Electrics Ltd, and I am NICEIC registered and a Which? Trusted Trader with over 200 verified reviews. Every rewire I price is fixed upfront. You can also use the rewire calculator on our website to get a ballpark figure before we speak.

Full Rewire or Partial Rewire?

A full rewire means replacing all of the fixed wiring in a property: every circuit, every socket, every switch, and the consumer unit. A partial rewire targets specific circuits or areas. When I visit for a survey I will give you an honest view on which one the property actually needs. If a partial rewire will bring everything up to standard, that is what I will quote for.

What Others Get Wrong

The most common issue I see is partial rewires carried out to an inadequate spec. Old wiring is left in place because it tested okay on the day, then causes problems a year or two later. I also regularly see rewires where the consumer unit was not upgraded at the same time, which defeats part of the purpose. Every rewire I carry out is followed by a full test, not a visual check.

House rewires start from £2,580+VAT for a one bedroom flat. Larger properties are priced based on the number of circuits, the condition of the existing installation, and the scope of work.

FAQ

How much does a house rewire cost?
Rewires start from £2,580+VAT for a one bedroom flat. The price for larger properties depends on the number of circuits and the full scope of the job. You can get a ballpark figure from the rewire calculator on our website.

How long does a house rewire take?
A one or two bedroom flat typically takes two to three days. Larger houses can take a week or more. I will give you a clear timeframe at the survey stage so you can plan around it.

Will the house be uninhabitable during the rewire?
Not necessarily, though there will be periods without power to parts of the property. For larger jobs some homeowners choose to stay elsewhere for the duration, which I will advise on honestly when I see the property.

Do I need a rewire or just an upgrade?
Not always. If your installation is generally in good condition but the consumer unit is outdated, a targeted upgrade may be all that is needed. I will give you an honest answer at the survey stage.

Will you handle building control notification?
Yes. A full rewire is notifiable work under Part P and I handle the building control notification as part of every job.

What is the difference between a category 1 and category 2 observation on an EICR?
A category 1 means immediate danger. A category 2 means a potential danger to address in a reasonable timeframe. Multiple category 2 observations often indicate a rewire is the most cost effective solution.
