A detailed written figure is confirmed before work begins. - House rewiring: from £70 an hour; from £70 an hour - The overall price covers the complete removal of accessible dead wiring, pulling new cables, fitting the consumer unit, standard white accessories and testing. - The number of bedrooms, floors and total circuit count alter the labour and cabling requirements. - Specialist decorative faceplates, external power feeds or complex access requirements change the overall material and installation time. ## House rewiring across Westbourne We serve Westbourne from our base in Poole. - Westbourne centre - Alum Chine - West Cliff - BH4 ## What happens on the day Rewiring involves structural access to run cables beneath floorboards and inside walls. We work through the property stage by stage to keep the installation organised. ### Walkthrough and circuit isolation We walk through the property with you on arrival to confirm socket positions, lighting points and switch locations. We then safely isolate existing circuits so old wiring is disconnected before lifting floors or chasing walls. ### First fix cable routing New cabling is routed through ceiling voids, under floorboards and down wall chases. Back boxes for switches, sockets, cookers and extractor fans are secured into position ready for plastering work. ### Consumer unit fitting and second fix Once wall surfaces are ready, we fit the faceplates, connect light pendants and terminate cables into the new metal consumer unit. All conductors are trimmed, connected and labelled to their respective circuit breakers. ### Instrument testing and handover Every newly installed run undergoes electrical testing, including earth fault loop impedance and insulation resistance checks. We verify every circuit works correctly before completing the official paperwork. ## Frequently asked questions about rewiring ### What is included in a house rewire? A rewire covers stripping out accessible redundant wiring, installing new cables for all lighting and power points, fitting switches and sockets, upgrading the consumer unit with protective devices, and testing the finished system. Making good plaster chases and decorating are excluded and handled by a builder or decorator. ### Can I stay in the house while it is being rewired? Yes, many homeowners choose to remain in the property. We work room by room and reinstate essential power circuits at the end of each day where possible. However, rewiring creates dust, lifted flooring and noise, so some householders prefer to vacate during the disruptive first fix stage. ### How do I know if my house needs rewiring? Warning signs include an old fuse board with rewireable fuses, rubber or fabric insulated cabling, flickering lights, discoloured socket outlets or switches that crackle. An electrical inspection report can formally confirm whether the wiring has degraded beyond safe operational limits. ### Can you rewire just an extension or a single floor? Yes. Partial rewires are common when extending a home, converting a loft or modernising a kitchen. We install new circuits for the modified areas and connect them either into your existing consumer unit if spare capacity exists or into an upgraded distribution board. ### Will I receive safety certificates when the rewire finishes? Yes. Upon completing and verifying the installation, we issue an Electrical Installation Certificate detailing all circuit test readings. As MX2 Electrical is NAPIT registered, the notifiable work is submitted directly to local building control, and compliance confirmation is provided for your property records. ## Other services in Westbourne - [Electrician in Westbourne](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-westbourne): Domestic and suitable commercial electrical repairs, testing and planned work across Westbourne, Alum Chine, West Cliff and BH4. - [House rewiring (all areas)](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/house-rewiring): House rewiring in Poole and Dorset by MX2 Electrical.
