Full House Rewire in Burnley

A full house rewire in Burnley replaces every cable, socket, switch and the consumer unit. It is the job to do when the wiring is worn out or has failed a test. We work room by room and keep the house liveable while it runs.

When a House Needs Rewiring

Rubber or fabric covered cable, a board with rewirable fuses, round pin sockets, or very few sockets all point to wiring that is decades old. An EICR that comes back with C1 or C2 codes across several circuits is the clearest sign. Most houses need this done every 30 to 40 years.

How We Keep the Disruption Down

We work one area at a time rather than pulling the whole house apart. Floorboards come up and a few chases go in the walls, then they go back. Power stays on to the parts we are not working on where we can. Most houses take five to ten days depending on size.

What the Price Covers

A rewire price covers the cabling, sockets, switches, lighting points, the new consumer unit, testing and the certificate. Plastering and decorating after the chasing is usually a separate trade, and we make clear which parts we are doing. You get it in writing before anything starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I stay in the house during a rewire in Burnley?

Most people do. We work room by room and keep power on to the parts we are not touching, so the kettle and the fridge keep going. There will be dust and floorboards up. An empty house is quicker to work in, but it is not a requirement.

How long does a full house rewire take?

A three bedroom house usually takes five to seven working days. Larger houses, or ones with solid floors and hard walls to chase, take longer. We give you a timescale with the quote and tell you straight away if anything found on site changes it.

Do I need to rewire before selling my house?

Not usually, but a surveyor will flag old wiring and it can affect the sale. An EICR tells you what condition it is actually in. Some sellers get the report done and let the buyer decide. We carry out both rewires and EICR testing across Burnley.
