Full & Partial House Rewires
A lot of homes across Wishaw and Lanarkshire are older properties, the tenement flats, post-war semis and ex-council houses that make up so much of the area, and many are still running on wiring that's well past its best. A fuse box full of old rewireable fuses, rubber or fabric-coated cables, scorch marks or simply not enough sockets 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 to the 18th Edition wiring regulations before handover, so the work meets the Scottish building standards and you get the certificate to prove it.

Rewires questions, answered
How much does a full rewire cost?
As a rough guide, a full rewire of a typical three-bedroom home in Wishaw or the wider Lanarkshire area usually falls somewhere between £4,000 and £7,000, depending on the size of the property, the number of circuits and the finish. Every house is different, so we look at yours and confirm one fixed price in writing before any work starts, and 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.
