Full Rewire

The complete replacement of all fixed wiring in a property, including cables, sockets, switches, and the consumer unit. A full rewire is typically needed when the wiring is over 25–30 years old, uses rubber-insulated cables, or has failed an EICR inspection. The process involves lifting floorboards and chasing walls; in most occupied homes it takes 5–10 days. Notifiable under Part P, so a certificate must be issued on completion.
