Does My House Need a Rewire?

Some common signs that may indicate the need for a rewire include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, and outdated or damaged wiring. If you notice any of these issues, you should get in touch with one of our experts. Generally, houses should be rewired every 20-30 years, depending on the age and condition of the electrical system. If you are unsure about the condition of your wires, we can inspect your home’s wiring to ensure that it is up to code and functioning correctly, ensuring a safe living environment for you and your family.

Is a Full House Rewiring Service Necessary?

Rewiring a house reduces the risk of faulty electrical systems by replacing old, hazardous, and non-compliant components, such as cables, to make your home a safer place. This procedure helps reduce the risk of electrical shocks, faults, and fires as well as minimises the possibility of power outages. Updating your home electrical system can also help you save money on your bills due to the system being more efficient.

What is Involved in
Rewiring a House?

A house rewire involves changes to sockets, cables, and wiring throughout your home. The process can be divided into two main stages. The first stage is typically performed before walls are plastered and ideally in an empty property to avoid complications, however, if you have furniture and carpets, we can easily work around them. During this phase, the actual wiring is installed.

The second stage involves connecting the electrics by fitting switches, sockets, and lights, as well as connecting the consumer unit. This stage ensures that everything is operational and up to standard.

How Long Does It Take to Rewire a House?

The duration of a house rewiring project can vary depending on the size and complexity of the property. On average, it takes around 2 to 10 days for a typical home. Our goal is to minimise disruption to your daily life by planning the project carefully and delivering efficient rewiring services.

Will I need to vacate my home during the rewiring process?

While it’s not always necessary to completely vacate your home, staying elsewhere may be more convenient due to the disruption and potential power outages during the rewiring process.

How often should a house be rewired?

Generally, a house should be rewired every 25 to 30 years. However, this can vary based on the condition and age of the existing wiring and any previous upgrades or maintenance performed.

The benefits of home rewiring

Improves Safety – The most important benefit of electrical rewiring is that it eliminates any doubts about electrical issues or problems. You are also more likely to find cheaper home insurance if you show that you have regularly serviced your cables.


Increases Property Value – Rewiring a house can significantly increase your home sale value. In some cases, it could be increased by hundreds, or even thousands if it has been signed off by an inspector. If you’re planning to sell your property, consider rewiring your property to make it more appealing to potential buyers. Outdated systems can be a turn-off for many buyers.


Modernises Your Home – After getting an electrical rewiring service for their property, clients may notice that the new system has increased capacity to handle all their modern appliances and electronics. Many older homes were initially wired with a 60-amp service, a threshold that cannot handle several modern appliances running simultaneously. Modern cable upgrades the capacity to handle 100 amps or more.

Paul turned up promptly to view the job required and issued a written quotation within two days.

The team have done an excellent job including putting all the carpets back in place, tidying up, and vacuuming everywhere, and even shampooing the carpets were required to bring them back to their original condition. He and his team are hard-working, working 8 am till 6 pm every day to complete the job. Paul and his team are very competent; therefore I would highly recommend them to carry out any electrical work.

Paul and the team have been absolutely brilliant and taken on a few commercial jobs for us. All completed to the highest standard and I will 100% continue to get in touch with Paul first! Another positive experience is the transparency and explanation throughout the process, so there’s no hidden surprises and they do exactly what they say they will do. Great team and highly recommended 🙂

Goodwill Electrical are a truly skilled and friendly team, who worked continuously to complete the works and were very respectful of the property and contents. During the quotation visit, I was not sure of best ways to achieve some aspects of what was wanted or needed throughout my 1930’s semi. Paul explained options and gave informative advice. Excellent workmanship and very clean and tidy after the job was finished.
