What a rewire includes

A rewire is the replacement of cabling that is no longer safe or no longer enough for the house. It is not a new socket on an old circuit. On the phone we say whether the job is the whole house or only the rooms and circuits that need it.

  • A look at the existing cable, the consumer unit, and how the house is used
  • A full rewire, or a partial rewire of the circuits we have agreed
  • New cabling for lighting, sockets, and the cooker or shower circuit where that is part of the job
  • A consumer unit upgrade where the old board cannot take the new circuits
  • Testing, and a clear handover of what was changed

How a rewire is arranged

  1. 01

    Call

    You speak to the electrician. Describe the house, its age if you know it, and what has prompted the job: a survey, failing circuits, or cable you can see is old. Photos of the consumer unit and any exposed cable help, but they are not required to book the conversation.

  2. 02

    Agree the extent

    We say whether it is a full rewire or a partial one, which rooms are included, and whether the consumer unit is part of the same job. Floorboards, access, and how long the power will be off are named then.

  3. 03

    Rewire and test

    The agreed cable is replaced, connected, and tested. We leave the circuits that were part of the job safe to use, and we tell you if anything outside that scope still needs attention.

Full rewire or partial

A full rewire is the usual job in a house that still has rubber, cloth, or lead cable, or where the lighting and the sockets have both been added to over decades. A partial rewire suits a house where one floor, a kitchen, or a single circuit is the problem and the rest tests as sound. We will not sell a full rewire if the rest of the installation can stay.

Older houses in Leeds and across Leeds, Morley, and Yorkshire often have a mix: new cable in the kitchen, and the original lighting still upstairs. That is why the first conversation is about the age of the property and what has already been altered, not a price for a job we have not described.

What we agree before the day

We agree which rooms are included, whether floors or ceilings have to be lifted, and whether you will be in the house while the power is off. A rewire is disruptive. You should hear that before it is booked, including how long the power is likely to be off and which circuits come back first.

On the day the new cable is run, connected at the consumer unit, and tested. We do not leave a circuit energised that has not been tested. You speak to the electrician doing the job, and you are shown what changed before we go.

When a house needs rewiring

Book a rewire when the cable is old, a survey has flagged the installation, or the consumer unit and the circuits behind it can no longer be used safely. A single dead socket is a repair. A house that keeps adding faults is a rewire.

  • Rubber, cloth, or lead cable is still in use
  • A survey, a buyer, or an insurer has asked for the electrics to be renewed
  • The fuse board is original and the circuits trip or run warm
  • You are renovating and the walls are already open

Rewiring across Leeds, Morley, and Yorkshire

We cover Leeds, Morley, and Yorkshire. The base is 14 Daffil Ave, Morley, Churwell, Leeds LS27 7QD. Call 07383 846751 for a free, no-obligation quotation, and we will confirm when we can attend. We offer a 24/7 emergency call out.

Rewires are planned visits, not emergency call-outs. Phone with the town, the type of house, and whether you already know the wiring is old. If a buyer, a survey, or an insurer has asked for the electrics to be looked at, say that too. We confirm the day before anyone sets off.

Questions about electrical rewiring

Do you rewire houses in Yorkshire?

Yes. We carry out full and partial rewires across Leeds, Morley, and Yorkshire. On the phone we talk through the age of the house and whether the whole installation needs replacing.

Is a partial rewire enough?

Sometimes. If one floor or one circuit is the fault and the rest tests as sound, a partial rewire is the right job. If the cable throughout is original and failing, we will say a full rewire is the honest scope.

Will the power be off?

Yes, on the circuits being rewired, and often for a large part of the day on a full rewire. We tell you that before the work is booked so you can plan around it.

How do I arrange a rewire?

Call 07383 846751. Describe the property, the town, and why you think it needs rewiring. We confirm what the job includes, and when we can do it, before anyone sets off.

Do you test the installation afterwards?

Yes. The circuits we have rewired are tested before we leave. We do not energise new cable and hope.
