Full & Partial House Rewires
A lot of the homes around Buckingham and the villages are older properties, from period cottages to post-war and ex-council houses, and plenty are still running on wiring that's well past its best. A fuse box full of old rewireable fuses, rubber or fabric-coated cables, scorched sockets or not nearly enough of them: these are all signs a home is overdue a rewire. It's the biggest electrical job a house ever has, so it deserves proper planning.
We go room by room with you before a single cable is lifted, agreeing where every socket, switch and light should go. Floors and furniture are protected, walls chased cleanly and everything made good afterwards. Every circuit is tested and certified before handover, and because we're NAPIT registered we notify Building Control for you, so the work is signed off correctly with your certificate to prove it.

Rewires questions, answered
How much does a full rewire cost?
A full rewire of a three-bedroom home around Buckingham typically costs £4,000 to £8,000, depending on size, access and the fittings you choose. Partial rewires cost much less. Either way you get one fixed price in writing before any work starts, so nothing grows on the invoice.
How long does a full rewire take?
One to two weeks for a typical three-bedroom home, depending on size and whether you're living in it. You get a clear day-by-day plan before we start, so you can plan around it.
Can we live in the house during a rewire?
Usually yes. We work room by room and keep the power on overnight wherever possible. For bigger jobs it's sometimes quicker with the house empty, and we'll tell you honestly which suits.
How do I know if my home needs rewiring?
Common signs are a fuse box with rewireable fuses, fabric or rubber-coated cables, warm or loose sockets and too few sockets per room. An EICR will tell you for certain, and we'll never recommend a rewire you don't need.
