What makes this easier to live with
Full or partial, properly explained
We talk you through the difference before work begins. That helps you choose the right level of replacement for your home and budget.
Planned around real access points
Our cable routes are shaped by your floors, walls, loft space, and layout. We plan with that in mind, rather than treating every property the same.
Testing included at the finish
We inspect and test the completed installation as part of the job. You get clear records and a better understanding of what has changed.
When a rewire becomes the right call
Old wiring can quietly become a real problem, especially when sockets trip often, fittings show signs of heat, or your home is being opened up for major renovation. We carry out house rewiring work at Falconers electrical contractor Ltd, planned from the first visit, so you can understand what needs changing and what can stay. Some homes need a full replacement because the installation is outdated throughout, while others are better served by a partial rewire in one area or on selected circuits. The scope depends on the age of the property, how it was built, how many rooms are involved, and how easy it is to route new cables through floors, lofts, and walls. We also help you decide if a like-for-like replacement is enough or if your home would benefit from extra circuits for modern kitchens, home working, or higher electrical demand. That means you get work that suits the way you live now, not a blanket solution that ignores the condition of the property.
How we plan the work and keep things moving
Your rewire starts with a face-to-face visit, because we want to see the layout properly and talk through how you use each space before any decisions are made. From there, we assess the existing installation at Falconers electrical contractor Ltd, agree socket and lighting positions with you, then carry out safe isolation before first-fix cabling and second-fix fittings begin. We work carefully through the property, lifting floorboards and chasing walls only where needed, while protecting surfaces and keeping rooms usable whenever access allows. Before we arrive, it helps to clear space around sockets, loft hatches, and underfloor access points so the job can move along without unnecessary hold-ups. Once the work is complete, we test the installation, provide the relevant documentation, label circuits clearly, and explain the result in plain terms, which also ties in naturally with our EICR safety inspection work when further checks are needed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my home needs a full rewire or just a partial one?
It depends on the condition and age of the existing wiring, along with how much of the property is affected. If faults are limited to one area or a recent extension needs updating, a partial rewire may be enough, but widespread ageing or unsafe wiring usually points to a full replacement.
How disruptive is house rewiring?
Rewiring does involve some disruption because cables often need to run under floors, through lofts, and inside walls. We plan the work carefully, protect surfaces where possible, and can often move room by room to keep parts of your home usable during the job.
Is testing included after the rewire is finished?
Yes, we carry out final inspection and testing once the installation is complete. This confirms the new wiring has been checked properly and gives you documentation for your records.
