Full and partial rewires for Croydon homes and nearby properties, planned around access, occupancy, testing, and compliant final handover.
Rewiring is one of the most disruptive electrical jobs a homeowner can commission, so the difference between a good and poor outcome usually comes down to planning, sequencing, and honest scope definition.
We carry out full and partial rewires for Croydon homes and nearby properties where the existing installation is outdated, altered repeatedly over time, or no longer suitable for modern demand. Before work starts, we assess what genuinely needs replacing, which circuits can be retained, how access will affect the programme, and whether related works such as consumer unit upgrades or testing should be bundled into the same phase.
Occupied properties can often stay operational in stages, but that only works when isolation, room sequencing, dust control, and handover expectations are set clearly from the outset. Most homes take around 1-2 weeks depending on size, access, and the condition of the existing installation, with final testing and certification completed once the new arrangement is energised.
If your installation still has old rubber, lead, or fabric-sheathed cable, frequent tripping, burning smells, buzzing accessories, or discoloured sockets, it may no longer be safe for modern use. Other warning signs include two-pin sockets, mixed wiring standards from old extensions, and a lack of RCD/RCBO protection at the consumer unit. We can confirm this with a detailed inspection and testing plan before any major work begins.
A full rewire usually includes new lighting and power circuits, a modern 18th Edition consumer unit, upgraded earthing and bonding where required, replacement sockets and switches, smoke/heat detector wiring, and full testing and certification. We also discuss practical upgrades such as USB-C sockets, external power, and future-ready cabling for EV charging or home office use.
Many customers stay in the property while we work. We phase works to keep essential areas available, isolate only where required, and provide clear daily updates so you know exactly what is happening. Dust sheets, careful cable routing, and end-of-day tidy-ups are standard. Where major chasing is required, we explain making-good expectations in advance so there are no surprises.
On completion, we carry out full dead/live testing and issue all relevant certification. Building control notifications are completed under Part P where applicable. You receive clear circuit labelling, test documentation, and guidance on ongoing maintenance intervals, giving you confidence that your installation is safe, compliant, and easier to maintain in future.

Common questions about house rewiring
Rewire times vary depending on property size and complexity. A 1-2 bedroom property typically takes from a week onwards, a 3-4 bedroom house takes approximately 10 days, and larger 5+ bedroom properties take from 2 weeks. We work efficiently to minimize disruption and can often work room by room so you can continue living in your home.
Not necessarily. For smaller properties or partial rewires, you can usually stay in your home. We work room by room where possible and ensure you have power and water each evening. For extensive rewires, some homeowners prefer to stay elsewhere for convenience, but it's not required.
We carefully lift floorboards and chase walls to minimize damage. All electrical work is completed to a high standard, and we can recommend trusted plasterers and decorators. Some customers prefer to handle decoration themselves, while others want a complete turnkey service.
We work hard to minimize disruption. Our team arrives on time, works efficiently, and cleans up thoroughly each day. We'll protect your furniture and flooring, and ensure you have power restored each evening. Most customers are surprised at how manageable the process is.
Yes, absolutely. As NICEIC approved contractors, we provide comprehensive electrical installation certificates for all work. We also handle building regulations notification and provide all necessary documentation for your records and future property sales.
Definitely! Rewiring is the perfect time to add extra sockets, USB charging points, network cabling, or smart home wiring. We'll discuss your requirements during the survey and include everything in your fixed-price quote.
