Professional House Rewiring in Stevenage

House rewiring is essential for keeping your property safe, compliant and capable of meeting modern electrical demands. At Stevenage Electrical, we provide full and partial house rewiring services for homeowners looking to upgrade outdated wiring, improve safety, or prepare a property for renovation or extension.

Older electrical systems were not designed to handle today’s appliances, charging points and increased power usage. Rewiring ensures your home’s electrics are reliable, future-proof and built to current safety standards.

When Does a Property Need Rewiring?

Many homes in Stevenage still rely on ageing wiring that can pose safety risks. You may need a rewire if:

  • The property is over 25–30 years old
  • The fuse board lacks modern RCD protection
  • Sockets or switches show signs of wear or overheating
  • Lights flicker or circuits trip frequently
  • You’re planning major renovations or extensions
  • An EICR has highlighted safety issues

If you’re unsure, we can assess your system and provide honest advice on whether rewiring is necessary.

Full House Rewires vs Partial Rewires

Full House Rewiring

A full rewire involves replacing all existing wiring, circuits, sockets and switches throughout the property. This is usually recommended for older homes or when undertaking significant refurbishment work. While more involved, it provides the highest level of safety and long-term reliability.

What’s Included in Our Rewiring Service?

Our house rewiring service in Stevenage typically includes:

  • Removal of outdated or unsafe wiring
  • Installation of new cabling and circuits
  • Replacement of sockets, switches and fittings
  • Consumer unit upgrades where required
  • Electrical testing and certification
  • Making safe and tidy finish-ready installations

We plan all work carefully to minimise disruption and keep your home safe throughout the process.

Rewiring Older Properties in Stevenage

Older homes often present unique challenges, such as solid walls, limited access routes or previous electrical alterations. Our electricians have experience working in older properties and take care to carry out rewiring work efficiently while protecting the structure and finishes of your home.

Where possible, we coordinate rewiring with plastering and decoration to reduce overall disruption.

Electrical Safety, Compliance & Certification

All rewiring work is carried out in accordance with UK wiring regulations (BS 7671). Once completed, you’ll receive the appropriate electrical certificates, confirming that your installation has been tested and meets current safety standards.

This documentation is important for insurance, future property sales and peace of mind.

How Long Does a House Rewire Take?

The timeframe for a rewire depends on:

  • Property size
  • Age and layout
  • Whether it’s a full or partial rewire
  • Accessibility of existing wiring

 

Most full house rewires take several days to complete. We’ll provide a clear timeline before work begins and keep you informed throughout.
