Accessory boxes for switches, sockets and ceiling points are set securely into place. ### Second fix and consumer unit connection Once cables are drawn, we fit faceplates, sockets, light fittings and the new consumer unit, terminating each circuit into its respective protective device. ### Testing and system handover We perform instrumental testing on every single circuit, verify earthing connections, show you how the new fuse board operates and prepare the official compliance certificates. ## Frequently asked questions about rewiring ### How long does a house rewire usually take? A small flat can take a few days, whereas an average-sized family house often requires one to two weeks. The exact time depends on property size, floor construction and whether the property is furnished. ### Do I need to move out during a rewire? Most homeowners choose to remain in the property. We work room by room and keep power active in areas not being worked on, though you should expect dust, noise and temporary restrictions in working areas. ### Will I receive safety certificates when the job finishes? Yes. A full rewire concludes with an Electrical Installation Certificate. MX2 Electrical is NAPIT registered, and notifiable electrical work is properly certified upon completion. ### Can you rewire a single floor or an extension? Yes. We can rewire an extension, a converted attic or a specific floor, connecting the new circuits directly into an existing compatible fuse board or fitting a new unit if needed. ### Does rewiring cover plastering and decorating? Rewiring covers the electrical installation, including pulling cables, fitting back boxes, replacing the consumer unit and testing. Making good, plastering chased walls and decorating are handled separately by building trades. ## Other services in Ferndown - [Electrician in Ferndown](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-ferndown): Domestic, commercial and selected industrial electrical repairs, testing and installation work across Ferndown, West Parley and BH22. - [House rewiring (all areas)](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/house-rewiring): House rewiring in Poole and Dorset by MX2 Electrical.
