What Is Involved When Rewiring a House
Prior to giving you a fixed written price for the work we will come out to view your property and discuss your individual requirements. You will then typically receive your individually tailored quote within 24-48 hours of our initial visit. Once you are happy with the detailed list of works and you’ve accepted the quote we will book the work in to suit your timescales.
The actual rewiring process involves removing all accessible old wiring and accessories and replacing with new. The process can take as little as 3 days for a 3-bedroom house, but varies according to the size and type of property.
Typically cables are recessed in walls and run under floors therefore the rewiring process will involve lifting carpets & floorboards up and drilling and chasing into the walls to reach existing wiring and install new; this includes cables that run through the ceilings.
Once wiring has been installed then all holes and chases can be plastered and lights, switches and sockets can be fitted.
Finally, the new installation is tested and certified and Building Regulation Approvals provided.
All of this work can cause disruption to the homeowner if it hasn’t been organised properly. With My Preston Electrician, you can be confident that the work will be carried out quickly, efficiently to a very high standard.
