The work
What a Full Rewire Involves
If you're searching for a full house rewire, you've probably been told your wiring needs replacing, or you've spotted the signs yourself. The first thing to know: it's a big job, but it doesn't have to be a nightmare. A full rewire replaces every part of your fixed electrical installation. That means new cables to every socket, switch and light, a new consumer unit, upgraded earthing and bonding, and interlinked smoke and heat alarms. When we leave, your home has a modern, safe system with decades of life ahead of it.
The work happens in two stages. First fix is the disruptive part: lifting floorboards, running new cables, fitting back boxes and chasing walls where there's no other route. Second fix comes once the cables are in: fitting sockets, switches, light fittings and the new board, then testing everything. In a typical Milton Keynes 3-bed semi, first fix takes most of the time.
Areas we cover
Proud to Serve Milton Keynes & Surrounding Areas
We carry out full house rewires right across Milton Keynes and the towns around it. Find your area below.
What's included
What's Included in Every Full Rewire
New wiring throughout
Every lighting and power circuit is replaced with modern twin-and-earth cable, sized and routed to the current regulations, and there's no tying into old cable.
A new consumer unit
A metal-clad, 18th Edition consumer unit with RCD or RCBO protection on every circuit, and surge protection where required.
Earthing & bonding
New main earthing and protective bonding to your gas and water pipes, one of the most common faults we find in older MK homes.
Smoke & heat alarms
Mains-powered, interlinked smoke and heat alarms, so an alarm in the kitchen sounds upstairs too.
Making good
We fill chases and patch plaster around new boxes so your walls are ready for decorating. Floorboards are relaid and screwed down, not nailed.
Certificate & notification
Full testing, an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), and Part P notification to Building Control. Keep these safe: buyers' solicitors will ask for them.

What affects the price?
- Size and layout. More rooms means more circuits, more cable and more time.
- Access. Suspended timber floors and a clear loft make cable runs much quicker than solid concrete floors, which are common in some 1970s MK homes.
- Wall type. Solid plaster walls need more chasing and making good than plasterboard or dot-and-dab walls.
- Occupied or empty. An empty house is quicker. If you're living in it, we take extra care to keep rooms usable, which adds a little time.
- Extras. Additional sockets, outside power, garden lighting, data points or an EV-ready circuit all add to the cost, but are far cheaper to add during a rewire than afterwards.

Timescales
How Long Does a Full Rewire Take?
For a typical occupied 3-bed house, allow 7 to 10 working days. A flat can take as little as three days, and a large detached or period home can take two to three weeks. We'll give you a day-by-day plan with your quote, so you know which rooms we'll be in and when.
Living at home
Can You Live at Home During a Rewire?
Yes, and most of our customers do. We work room by room, keep dust sheets down, and reconnect your power at the end of every day. You'll have working lights, a fridge and heating each evening. If you're planning to redecorate, the best time to rewire is before you do.

FAQs
Full House Rewire FAQs
How long does a full house rewire take?
Most occupied 3-bed homes in Milton Keynes take 7 to 10 working days. Flats are quicker; large or period homes take longer.
Can we live at home during the rewire?
Yes. We work room by room and restore power every evening, so you can stay at home throughout.
How much mess is there?
There's some disruption, mainly during first fix. We run cables under floors and through the loft wherever possible, use dust sheets, and tidy up daily.
Do I need to redecorate afterwards?
We make good all chases and patch plaster around new boxes, but you'll usually want to repaint. That's why we recommend rewiring before you decorate.
