Home & Business Rewiring
Behind The Job

What Does a Full Rewire Actually Involve?

A rewire happens in two stages: first fix, where we run new cabling through walls, floors, and ceilings to every socket, switch, and light position; and second fix, where we connect and terminate everything — sockets, switches, the consumer unit — once walls are closed up again. Between the two, everything is tested to BS7671 before we sign it off.

Glasgow's tenement and period flats bring their own quirks that a generic rewire quote won't account for — lath-and-plaster walls behave differently to modern stud walls when it comes to chasing cable routes, and shared stairwells or factor-managed common areas sometimes need a quick word with the factor before we touch anything communal. We've worked enough of these properties across the city to know which questions to ask before we start, not halfway through.

FAQs

Common Questions About Home & Business Rewiring

Do I need a full rewire, or would a partial one do?
It depends on the property — sometimes a targeted partial rewire of the affected circuits is genuinely enough. We'll tell you honestly which one your property needs after a proper look, not just upsell the bigger job.
Is my current wiring actually safe to keep using?
That's what an EICR is for — if you're not sure, we'd rather test it properly than guess. It tells you exactly what's safe, what's borderline, and what needs attention now.
Will the power be off during the work?
Yes, while we connect the new wiring in — we agree the timing with you in advance and keep it to the minimum needed.
How long will it actually take?
A typical two or three-bedroom flat takes around a week. Larger or occupied properties take longer, which we'll scope honestly at survey stage.
How long does a full rewire take?
A typical two or three-bedroom tenement flat takes around a week. We'll give you an exact timeline once we've surveyed the property.
Do I need to move out during a rewire?
Not always for a partial rewire, but for a full rewire it's usually easier to have the property empty. We'll talk through the options for your specific job.
Will you make good after chasing walls?
We fill and make good all channels we cut. If you need a full plaster skim afterwards, we can recommend a plasterer we work with regularly.
Can a business rewire be done without closing?
Often yes, by phasing the work area by area or working out of hours — we'll scope this properly at quote stage.
Is the work certified?
Yes, every rewire is tested to BS7671 and certified on completion.
