Full & Partial House Rewires
Norwich has a lot of older housing, the Victorian terraces of the Golden Triangle, the period homes around the city centre and plenty of post-war semis on the edges, and many are still running on wiring that's well past its best. A fuse box full of old rewireable fuses, rubber or fabric-coated cables, not enough sockets: these are all signs your home is overdue a rewire. It's the biggest electrical job a house ever has, so it deserves proper planning.
I go room by room with you before a single cable is lifted, agreeing where every socket, switch and light should go. Floors are protected, walls chased cleanly and everything made good afterwards. Every circuit is tested and certified before handover, and because I'm NAPIT registered I notify Building Control for you, so the job is signed off correctly with your certificate to prove it.

Rewires questions, answered
How much does a full rewire cost?
Most full rewires around Norwich land between £3,500 and £7,000 for a typical three-bedroom home, with larger or older properties running higher. You get one exact fixed price in writing after I've seen the property, before any work starts.
How long does a full rewire take?
One to two weeks for a typical three-bedroom home, depending on size and whether you're living in it. You get a clear day-by-day plan before I start, so you can plan around it.
Can we live in the house during a rewire?
Usually yes. I work room by room and keep the power on overnight wherever possible. For bigger jobs it's sometimes quicker with the house empty, and I'll tell you honestly which suits.
How do I know if my home needs rewiring?
Common signs are a fuse box with rewireable fuses, fabric or rubber-coated cables, warm or loose sockets and too few sockets per room. An EICR will tell you for certain, and I'll never recommend a rewire you don't need.
