We serve Wareham from our base in Poole.
What happens on the day
Rewiring work is carried out systematically room by room, keeping disruption structured while existing circuits are decommissioned and replaced.
- Circuit isolation and preparationPower to old circuits is isolated safely before any wiring is removed. Floors are lifted and chasing channels are marked out where new cables need to run through walls and beneath floorboards.
- First fix cable installationNew wiring is pulled through floor joists, stud partitions, and masonry chases. Back boxes for switches and sockets are secured in position ahead of plastering or building touch-ups.
- Second fix connectionsOnce walls are prepared, all accessories are connected and fitted flush. Socket plates, light pendants, extract fans, and the main consumer unit are terminated and checked for solid mechanical connections.
- Testing and energisationEvery completed circuit undergoes dead and live testing to confirm correct polarity, insulation resistance, and earth loop values before power is permanently restored across the building.

WhatsAppDo I need to leave my house while it is being rewired?
Most homeowners choose to remain in the property while work takes place. We work room by room and reinstate essential power circuits at the end of each day, though there will inevitably be noise, lifted floorboards, and dust during working hours.
How long does a typical house rewire take?
A smaller flat or terraced home generally takes several working days, whereas larger detached houses with multiple circuits and complex layouts can take up to two weeks to complete all first and second fix tasks.
What paperwork will I receive once the rewire is done?
You receive a full Electrical Installation Certificate confirming all test values across the new circuits. As a NAPIT registered contractor, we also notify building control to ensure your property compliance records are properly filed.
Can you rewire just an extension or a single floor?
Yes. Partial rewires are common when extending a home, converting a loft, or updating a kitchen. New circuits are run back to an existing modern fuse board or connected through a new consumer unit if the current board lacks capacity.
Does rewiring include plastering and painting?
Electrical rewiring covers cutting chases, installing conduits, running cables, and fitting accessories. Making good, skimming plaster, and final redecoration are handled separately by your chosen building or decorating trades.
