House Rewire Electrician in Washington

A rewire replaces the cables, accessories and usually the board, bringing everything up to current regulations. It’s also the time to put sockets, switches and lights exactly where you want them.

First fix runs new cable with floors up. Second fix fits sockets, switches and lights after plastering. We can work around builders, plasterers and kitchen fitters on a renovation, or room by room if you’re living in.

Signs a rewire is due

• Old rubber or fabric-covered cable
• Switches on skirting boards or round-pin sockets
• An EICR with several C2 codes
• Extension leads everywhere
• Floors and plaster coming up anyway
• Lights dimming or accessories running warm

How a rewire runs

   Sockets, lights and extras agreed before pricing.

2. First fix

   Cables run room by room or around other trades.

3. Second fix and make good

   Accessories fitted, chases filled, everything tested.

Rewiring Washington homes

Plenty of Washington’s older houses, from the 1970s estates to the stone cottages in Washington Village, are due a rewire, especially when they’re being renovated. Doing it before decorating saves a lot of mess later.
