Rewiring your house with our expert Hampshire electricians will be a smooth and efficient process. By rewiring, your electrical system will be more efficient, safer, and easier to maintain. You will also be modernising your home, bringing it up to date with current electrical safety standards.
Introducing RCDs & circuit breakers
A rewire brings one thing - enhanced electrical safety. The introduction of RCDs (Residual Current Device) and circuit breakers within your consumer unit is a big part of a rewire. Safey devices such as RCDs offer protection against electrocution and fires caused by earth faults.
Adding sockets & switches
One of the benefits of rewiring your home – adding new sockets where you most need them. You can also add or upgrade switches. USB sockets can also be installed for a more efficient day to day life. Design wise you can also have fun, upgrade basic white fixtures to chrome or even black – whatever your design preferences!
How long should a rewire take?
Well, how long is a piece of string? Unfortunately, the time taken to complete a rewire can vary. Some factors which will impact the time-frame of a rewire include:
- Property size: A three-bedroom home should take no longer than 7 days to complete. However, a five-bedroom home could take up to 10 days.
- Additions & alterations: A rewire will take longer if you plan to make multiple additions such as new sockets or an EV charger.
- Occupied home: If you plan to stay put during the rewire, this will mean the rewire takes considerably longer. If you can move out of your property for a few days, the rewire will be completed much quicker.
- Unexpected faults: Rewires are a big project so unfortunately unexpected faults can occur. This might extend the completion time by a day or so – especially if the fault is complex.
Does rewiring a house make a mess?
You’ve probably heard how messy and disruptive rewires can be – although the job does get messy, here at NDM Electrical we take precautions to ensure your home stays clean and tidy. Using dust sheets to protect your soft furnishes, carpets and using dust extraction machines when chasing out walls – your Hampshire home will be in safe hands. After the works have been completed, you’ll need to arrange a plasterer to patch up any damage caused. We can arrange this ourselves or leave it up to you. Ater a good tidy up and hoover, your home will be back to normal.
I’ve just been informed my home needs a rewire, what should I do?
If an electrician has informed you that your house needs a rewire – try to stay calm. Jump on your laptop and start researching electricians in your area. Finding an electrician who specialises in domestic rewires is a good starting point. They’ll possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to ensure your home is rewired to a high standard. Make sure you gather a few different quotes from various electricians – remember choosing the cheapest option might not be the best idea. Opting for the electrician with the best reviews is smart. An even better option is being recommend someone simply through word of mouth.
