Comprehensive Full House Rewiring Services

Our full house rewiring services deliver safe, fully compliant electrical installations for every type of home in Birmingham. We plan each rewire around your household, working room by room wherever possible to minimise disruption while completing the job on time and within the agreed quote.

Expert Survey and Planning

Every full house rewire starts with a free, no-obligation survey of your home. Our qualified electricians assess the condition of your existing wiring, check your consumer unit, and identify any outdated or dangerous cabling such as old rubber, fabric-coated or aluminium wiring.

We then provide a detailed written quote covering the full scope of work, a clear schedule, and a plan for where every new socket, switch and light fitting will go — so there are no surprises once work begins.

Quality Materials and Modern Circuits

Our rewires use quality, British Standard cabling and components throughout. We install new ring mains, lighting circuits, and dedicated circuits for high-demand appliances such as electric cookers, showers and heating systems.

We can also future-proof your home with extra socket outlets, USB charging points, outdoor power, and provision for EV charger installation — all designed around how you actually use your home.

Professional Installation and Tidy Workmanship

A full rewire is carried out in two stages. During the first fix, we run all new cabling through walls, floors and ceilings and position the back boxes for sockets and switches. During the second fix, we fit the faceplates, light fittings and new consumer unit, then connect and energise the installation.

Our electricians treat your home with respect — laying dust sheets, keeping chasing and lifting of floorboards to a minimum, tidying as they go, and keeping power available in parts of the home wherever it is safe to do so.

Certification and Building Regulations

All of our rewiring work fully complies with BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations) and Part P of the Building Regulations. On completion, every circuit is tested and you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate as proof that the work has been carried out safely and to current standards.

We also handle notification to building control on your behalf, and your paperwork will be ready for solicitors, surveyors or mortgage lenders whenever you need it — for example if you sell or remortgage your home.

Types of Homes We Rewire in Birmingham

We rewire every kind of home across Birmingham. Each era of property comes with its own wiring challenges, and our electricians know exactly how to handle them all.

Victorian and Edwardian Terraces

Birmingham has thousands of period terraces in areas like Kings Heath, Moseley and Stirchley, and many still contain original or heavily outdated wiring. Old rubber or fabric-insulated cables become brittle and dangerous with age.

We rewire period properties sympathetically, protecting original features while routing new cabling discreetly and bringing the whole installation up to modern safety standards.

1930s–1970s Semis and Detached Homes

Many of Birmingham's suburban semis and detached homes were last rewired decades ago. Common problems include ageing cabling, too few sockets for modern life, old fuse boxes with rewirable fuses, and no RCD protection at all.

A full rewire replaces the entire installation — new cabling, sockets, switches and a modern consumer unit — giving your home the capacity and protection today's appliances demand.

Rental Properties and HMOs

Landlords in Birmingham are legally required to hold a satisfactory Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for every rental property. If your property has failed its EICR or has unsatisfactory C1 or C2 codes, a rewire is often the most cost-effective long-term fix.

We work with landlords and letting agents across the city, scheduling work between tenancies where possible and providing all certification needed to keep your property compliant.

Full House Rewiring in Birmingham FAQs

How long does a full house rewire take?

Most full rewires take between 5 and 10 days depending on the size of your home. A two-bed terrace is typically completed in around a week, while a larger four-bed detached home may take up to two weeks. We confirm an accurate timescale in your free survey.

Can I stay in my home during a rewire?

Yes, most of our customers do. We work room by room and keep power running to parts of the home wherever it is safe to do so. Some customers with empty properties or larger projects choose to move out temporarily, but it is rarely essential.

How much does a full house rewire cost in Birmingham?

Costs depend on the size of the property, the number of sockets and fittings, and how accessible the wiring routes are. As a rough guide, a two-bed home typically starts from around £3,500–£4,500, with larger homes costing more. Every job is priced individually with a free, fixed written quote.

Do you make good the walls afterwards?

We keep chasing and disruption to a minimum and always fill and make good the chases we cut. Full replastering and redecorating are usually arranged separately, but we can recommend trusted local plasterers and will leave every wall ready for finishing.

Is the work certified and notified to building control?

Yes. All of our rewiring work complies with BS 7671 and Part P of the Building Regulations. You receive a full Electrical Installation Certificate on completion, and we take care of the building control notification for you.
