Overview
House Rewiring For Safer, Modern Electrics
Older electrical systems were not designed around the demands of today's homes. More appliances, technology and everyday electrical equipment can all place additional demand on wiring that may already be decades old.
A professional rewire replaces outdated cabling and circuits, improving safety, reliability and giving you an electrical installation better suited to modern living.
Whether your whole property needs rewiring or only certain areas require attention, we assess the existing installation and explain what work is genuinely needed.
Once complete, the new installation is thoroughly tested and the relevant electrical certification provided for your records.
What You Get
What's Included With A House Rewire
Every rewire starts with understanding the existing electrical installation and what you need from your property. We assess the wiring, consumer unit and layout before agreeing the right approach.
- Inspection of the existing wiring, consumer unit and earthing arrangements
- A clear plan for the full or partial rewire your property requires
- Replacement of ageing or unsuitable cabling with modern electrical circuits
- New sockets, switches, lighting points and circuits where required
- Consumer unit upgrades where needed as part of the installation
- Careful working practices throughout your property
- Full electrical testing, inspection and certification on completion
- Work areas left clean and tidy once the installation is finished

How We Help
When A House Rewire May Be Needed
Electrical problems are not always obvious, particularly when ageing wiring is hidden behind walls or beneath floors. It may be time to consider rewiring if you are:
- Living in a property with very old or outdated wiring
- Experiencing repeated tripping, flickering lights or unreliable electrics
- Relying on an older fuse board without modern protection
- Renovating or modernising an older property
- Buying or improving a home where the electrics need bringing up to date

Clear Pricing
Free, No-Obligation Quotes

What To Avoid
Mistakes We Help You Avoid
A poorly planned rewire can leave you dealing with additional costs, disruption and electrical problems later. These are some of the issues we help customers avoid:
Replacing Only The Obvious Wiring
Updating visible parts while leaving unsuitable wiring behind can create future problems. We assess the existing installation properly before recommending what needs replacing.
Poor Planning Before Work Begins
Socket positions, lighting and dedicated circuits all need thinking through before rewiring starts. We agree your requirements first so the new installation suits your home.
Unexpected Costs Along The Way
Nobody wants the price changing unnecessarily once work begins. We agree the work beforehand and provide clear, fixed pricing with no hidden costs.
Missing Testing And Certification
A new electrical installation must be properly inspected and tested. We complete the relevant testing and provide certification once your rewire is finished.
Peace Of Mind
Guarantees & Aftercare
Your electrical installation is covered by our 12-month workmanship guarantee, giving you added reassurance that the work has been completed properly.
Once the rewire is finished, we complete the required testing and certification and make sure you have the relevant documentation for your records.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How disruptive is a house rewire?
Rewiring involves gaining access to cables behind walls, floors and ceilings, so some disruption is unavoidable. We explain what the work involves beforehand and organise everything carefully to make the process as straightforward as possible.
How much mess does rewiring create?
Some dust and mess is expected when accessing hidden wiring. Our team works carefully throughout the job and our customer reviews regularly mention how clean and tidy we leave properties.
Will you explain exactly what needs rewiring?
Yes. We assess the existing electrical installation and explain whether the entire property requires rewiring or whether particular circuits and areas can be upgraded instead.
How long will the power be switched off?
Power needs to be isolated at different stages of a rewire. The amount of time depends on the property and scope of work, and we explain what to expect before installation begins.
Do I need a full rewire or just part of the house?
Not necessarily. It depends on the age and condition of the existing installation. We assess the electrics and advise whether a complete or partial rewire is the most appropriate option.
Will my rewire be tested and certified?
Yes. The completed electrical installation is inspected and tested, with the relevant certification provided. Shield Safe Electrical is an NICEIC Approved Contractor.
