A full domestic rewire replaces every cable, accessory and consumer-unit component in the house with modern, 18th-edition compliant equipment. Done properly, it’s the single biggest safety and value upgrade an older home can have — and it shouldn’t mean camping in the back garden for a month. What it is Total replacement of fixed wiring, sockets, switches, lighting points and consumer unit in a dwelling. Includes earthing, main protective bonding upgrade, smoke and heat detection to BS 5839-6, and a full set of certified test results on completion. Who it's for Homeowners with 1960s–1990s wiring, anyone who has failed an EICR with multiple C2 codes, buyers tackling a renovation, landlords upgrading older stock to modern standards, and self-builders or extension projects where partial rewires aren’t practical. When it's needed When the EICR shows multiple C2 codes, when the consumer unit is a rewireable-fuse Wylex board, when there’s no RCD on socket circuits, when light switches spark, when the sockets are still round-pin or cracked Bakelite, or when an extension makes piecemeal patching uneconomical. Why professional Aged rubber-and-cotton cable (anything pre-1970) breaks down silently inside the walls. Twin-and-earth from the 1970s often lacks an adequate earth conductor. Rewireable fuses don’t trip fast enough to clear a modern earth fault. A registered rewire fixes all three in one visit and resets the clock on insurance-grade safety paperwork. Why It Matters ## Old wiring fails quietly until it doesn’t. The houses we rewire most often look fine from the faceplate. The problem is always inside the wall — and the warning signs are usually missed until something burns. If you ignore it - Cable insulation breakdown in 1960s–70s VIR/rubber wiring — a slow fire risk hidden under floorboards. - No RCD protection on socket circuits — fatal shock risk in kitchens, bathrooms and garden equipment. - Rewireable fuses that take seconds to clear a fault — long enough for cable, accessory or appliance to ignite. - Undersized earth conductors that can’t carry fault current — exposed metalwork can sit at lethal voltage during a fault. - Sale price reduction of £8,000–£25,000 when a buyer’s surveyor flags ‘full rewire recommended’. Common mistakes - Piecemeal rewires — doing one room at a time over several years and ending up with a part-old / part-new house no electrician can certify cleanly. - Using a builder’s ‘mate’ who isn’t NAPIT-registered — certificate isn’t valid, Part P notification not lodged, insurance void. - Skipping the consumer unit replacement on a ‘partial rewire’ — leaving the weakest link untouched. - Choosing decorative sockets from B&Q that don’t match the home’s detailing — a £25 saving that ages the rest of the work. - Accepting a quote without a written specification — the cheap price always omits something (smoke alarms, bonding, redecoration after chasing). Our Process ## Five stages from survey to certificate. A rewire isn’t hard — but it has to be planned. We work room-by-room so the family keeps at least one usable space at all times. Tea, telly and bedrooms stay live until their day comes. 1. 01 ### Free on-site survey We walk the house with you, agree socket and switch positions, identify bonding upgrades and note any structural-access constraints. 2. 02 ### Fixed-price written quote Itemised spec — every socket count, every light fitting, every smoke detector — at one fixed price. Valid 30 days. 3. 03 ### Phased first fix Cables run room-by-room, chases cut neatly, accessories sat for plastering. Rooms are returned to use as each phase completes. 4. 04 ### Consumer unit & second fix New 18th-edition RCBO consumer unit installed, every accessory dressed, alarms commissioned, system energised. 5. 05 ### Test, certify, sign off Full inspection & test, NAPIT Electrical Installation Certificate issued, Part P notified to the local authority, PDFs in your inbox. The Benefits ## Why a proper rewire is the cheapest renovation pound you’ll spend. Six concrete benefits that compound over the next decade of ownership. ### Speed of family return Phased working means you keep at least one socket, one kettle and one Wi-Fi router live throughout the job. ### Insurance-grade safety RCBO per circuit, AFDD where appropriate, surge protection — the same spec we’d fit in our own homes. ### 30-year longevity Modern twin-and-earth, clean joints in Wago boxes, accessories that don’t crack or yellow — a rewire is a once-a-generation job done once. ### Energy & running-cost savings Combined with LED relamping, a rewire typically cuts a family home’s lighting load by 70–85%. ### Resale uplift ‘Fully rewired, NAPIT certified’ on the listing description removes the single biggest buyer’s-surveyor objection. ### Peace of mind over 25 years of Oxfordshire rewires behind every certificate. If a switch develops a fault in year two, we still pick up. Specifics & Detail ## What a domestic rewire actually involves. A rewire is much more than ‘new wires in the walls’. Here’s what we replace, upgrade and certify in a typical Oxfordshire 3-bed. ### Materials we install - 6242Y twin-and-earth in modern PVC insulation, sized per circuit - Hager or Wylex Amendment-2 consumer unit (metal, RCBO per circuit) - Quality branded accessories — sockets, switches, FCUs, fused spurs - Aico mains-wired smoke & heat detection to BS 5839-6 Grade D - Wago lever-nut connectors in accessible enclosures - Wylex SPD (surge protection device) on the consumer unit ### Methods & standards Cable routes follow the prescribed zones in BS 7671 so future DIYers can find them. Chases are cut with a multi-tool — straight, shallow and re-fillable. Floorboards lifted with care and re-laid level. Every joint is accessible, every accessory torque-set, every circuit insulation-tested at 500V before the consumer unit is energised. ### Variations of the service - Full house rewire (most common — 1–5 bed) - Partial rewire — ground floor only, first floor only - Kitchen + bathroom rewire as part of a refurb - Pre-plaster first-fix for an extension or loft conversion - Rewire plus consumer unit upgrade combined visit - EV-ready rewire — adding a dedicated 32A garage feed ### Local situations we rewire most often Kidlington 1960s ex-LA semi-detacheds with original rubber-insulated lighting; Oxford terraces with 1970s Wylex fuse boards; Witney and Banbury 1980s estate homes with no RCD; Bicester new-build snagging where original install was sub-standard. We see all four patterns weekly. Frequently Asked ## Straight answers, before the visit. Can't see your question? Ring the team on [07479 274302](tel:+447479274302) — five-minute call, no obligation.
