A Safer, Smarter Home Starts With the Right Wiring

Rewiring isn’t just about fixing a few issues — it’s about investing in the future of your home. Old or unreliable wiring may still be working, but that doesn’t mean it’s safe. Many UK homes still rely on systems that were installed decades ago, and while they may appear to function, they often fall short of today’s safety standards.

Rewiring your home brings real benefits:

  • Confidence that your home is protected from electrical faults and fire risk

  • A modern electrical setup that supports smart home tech, electric vehicle charging, and more

  • Improved energy efficiency, helping to reduce waste and running costs

  • A stronger position when selling your home — outdated electrics are often flagged in surveys

It’s not just a technical upgrade; it’s peace of mind for you and your family, and a smart way to protect your investment.

FAQ

Thinking of rewiring your home but unsure what to expect?

Most properties should be rewired every 25 to 30 years, especially older homes with outdated electrical systems. A regular Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), recommended every 10 years (or every 5 for landlords), will help spot any warning signs like brittle wiring or overloaded circuits before they become serious hazards.

Common red flags include:

  • Flickering lights or bulbs that blow frequently

  • Buzzing sockets, discoloured light switches, or burning smells

  • An outdated consumer unit (fuse box) or rubber-insulated wiring

  • Frequent tripping of circuit breakers
    These issues often point to unsafe or ageing electrical installations, especially in older properties. An EICR can confirm whether a full rewire is necessary.

The average cost to rewire a UK home depends on size and complexity:

  • 1-bed flat: £2,500–£4,000

  • 3-bed semi-detached: £4,500–£6,500

  • 5-bed detached: £7,000+
    Our home rewire calculator gives you a fast, free estimate tailored to your property — no obligation.

A full home rewire includes:

  • Removing old cabling and fittings

  • Installing new sockets, switches, lighting, and a modern metal consumer unit with RCD protection

  • Final circuit testing and Part P Building Regulations sign-off
    This may require lifting floorboards and chasing out walls. Some redecoration or plastering might be needed afterwards.

For small or partial rewires, yes. But for a full rewire, especially in an occupied property, most people choose to temporarily relocate due to noise, dust, and power shutdowns. It can be done in stages, but that often increases labour time and cost.

You don’t need planning permission, but rewiring is classed as notifiable electrical work under UK law. It must comply with Building Regulations, and either be carried out or inspected by a registered electrician (e.g. NICEIC or NAPIT) to ensure safe and legal sign-off.

Yes — especially if your wiring is over 25 years old. Rewiring improves electrical safety, protects against fire risk, brings your home up to modern standards, and adds peace of mind. It also increases resale value and ensures compatibility with smart tech, EV chargers, and future appliances.
