A full house rewire is the process of removing outdated electrical cabling alongside old sockets and outlets, replacing them with modern electrical wiring.
A full rewire in Weybridge for an average 3 bedroom house takes between 8-12 days and can cost between £5,000 - £8, 000 but this varies according to the number of circuits and whether additional circuits are to be installed to power new appliances. Some homeowners also take the opportunity to upgrade the consumer unit too which can add to overall costs. Precision Electrical Services have over 19 years experience working with homeowners and businesses in Weybridge. We’re adamant that careful planning results in a seamless and successful full rewire at your home.
What happens during a full rewire in Weybridge?
The first stage is careful planning between a qualified electrician and the client. An NICEIC approved electrician will design floor plans to illustrate routes for electrical wiring and any new circuits planned for extra sockets or if upgrading lighting downlights for example. Over the first fix, we gain access to old wiring by lifting up floorboards and carpet so it’s essential homeowners help us by moving bulky furniture out of the way. We recently worked on a beautiful 4 bed detached house on Portmore Park Road, Weybridge. The beautiful house required a number of electrical upgrades including removing the 1960’s style sockets, fitted on skirting boards. We cut out new openings in the walls for modern sockets and chased into the walls. In the office upstairs, we even installed data cabling using Cat6 cabling for speedy and reliable WiFi. Once walls have been plastered over, faceplates for new sockets and switches are installed.
How messy is a full rewire in Weybridge?
A full rewire will be chaotic and messy. Pulling up floorboards and carpet to access outdated wiring underneath will expose a great deal of dust. This is why electricians recommend moving household possessions, covering furniture with large dust sheets and moving furnishings into the centre of the room. As Dan and the team at Precision Electrical Services are professionals who carry out full house rewires frequently, we do our best to keep mess to a minimum. We use vacs and hoovers to extract the dust as much as possible but do warn customers that dust does get airborne.
The homeowners at Portmore Park Road wanted additional sockets in the bedroom, either side of the bed to accommodate for bedside tables. Creating new openings in the wall to house new outlets and chasing into the walls created more dust than usual, but we managed to extract a great deal using vacs.
Why are Precision Electrical Services the best candidate for a full rewire?
We’re NICEIC approved electricians so all wiring complies with BS7671 Building Regulations. Customers can rest assured that new wiring, lighting and outlets are safe and hazard free. The team is highly skilled with years of experience so we certainly do our best to meet customer requirements. The homeowners at Portmore Park Road needed major lighting upgrades which included two way switching for lighting on the landing upstairs and corridor downstairs. We were happy to include this in the plans and even more thrilled with the end result.
