Most of Kirkby is the same age and that age is now the problem. The houses at Northwood, Southdene and Tower Hill were wired for a very different way of living: a couple of sockets a room, no shower, no dishwasher and certainly no car on the drive drawing 7kW overnight. Seventy-year-old cable does not fail politely either, it goes brittle where you cannot see it.
A rewire replaces the lot in one planned job. We walk round with you first and agree where every socket, switch and light should go, then sheet the floors, chase cleanly and make good afterwards. You get a day-by-day plan up front and the full test results at the end, so you know exactly what was done.
Planned round your rooms
Sockets go where you actually use them now, not where the 1950s plan happened to put them.
Made good properly
Chases filled, holes made good and every room hoovered at the end of each day.
Partial rewires too
If some of it has already been done we test what is there and replace only the circuits that need it.
Your questions, answered
How much does a rewire cost in Kirkby?
A three-bed rewire typically falls between about £4,000 and £10,000 across the UK, depending on size, access and how much making good is needed. You get one fixed price in writing before anything starts.
Can we stay in the house?
Usually yes. We work room by room and keep the power on overnight where we can. Some jobs go quicker and cost less with the house empty and we will say so honestly.
How do I know if it needs a full rewire?
A board with rewireable fuses, fabric or rubber cable, warm sockets and one or two sockets per room are the signs. An EICR settles it and often the answer is a partial rather than a full.
How long will it take?
One to two weeks for a typical house here. You get a day-by-day plan before we start so you can work around it.
