David Thornton
Birmingham
“Our 1930s semi hadn't been touched since the 70s and the old fuse box kept tripping whenever we used the kettle and toaster together. They mapped out every circuit properly, explained what actually needed doing rather than trying to sell us extras, and now we can finally run our heat pump without worry. Proper job done right.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and how we can help you
How much does a full house rewire typically cost in Birmingham?
Most complete rewires for Birmingham homes range between £3,500 and £7,500 depending on property size and circuit complexity. We assess every circuit individually rather than guessing, so you only pay for what genuinely needs replacing. You'll receive a transparent written quote showing exactly which areas require work before we start anything.
What are the warning signs that my home needs rewiring?
Look out for frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights when appliances run, scorch marks around sockets, or an old fuse box with ceramic fuses. If your property hasn't been rewired since the 1970s or earlier, the insulation on cables may be deteriorating and creating fire hazards even if everything seems to work fine.
How long does a typical rewiring project take to complete?
Most residential rewires take between three to seven days depending on property size and access to existing cable routes. We work room-by-room so you maintain power to most areas throughout the project. You'll receive a realistic timeline during your initial assessment, and we've completed over 3,407 projects on schedule since 1993.
Will rewiring make a mess of my walls and decorations?
We strategically route cables through existing pathways, loft spaces, and floor voids wherever possible to minimise disruption. All furniture and floors get protected with dust sheets, and we'll clearly explain which areas need minor making good before starting. Most customers find the disruption far less than they expected.
Do you provide rewiring services throughout Birmingham and surrounding areas?
Yes, we cover Birmingham and the entire West Midlands region. Our vans carry 90% of required parts, so most jobs get completed in one visit without delays waiting for materials. We've worked on everything from period terraces in Moseley to modern developments across the city for over three decades.
Can I stay in my home during the rewiring work?
Absolutely. We complete installations room-by-room and maintain power to your kitchen, bathroom, and at least one living area throughout the project. You'll have access to essential circuits for cooking, heating, and daily routines. We coordinate the schedule around your needs during the initial planning stage.
What qualifications do your electricians have for rewiring work?
Every team member holds full 18th Edition qualifications, and our Principal Duty Holder has achieved C&G 2391 certification. We're NICEIC Approved Contractors with additional accreditation from CheckATrade and Cities & Guilds. All technicians are licensed, insured, background checked, and trained through our apprenticeship programme that's helped over ten young electricians qualify.
Why does my insurance company require a rewiring certificate?
Insurers recognise that outdated wiring causes thousands of house fires annually, so they require proof your electrical system meets current safety standards. You'll receive official Electrical Installation Certificates, detailed circuit diagrams, and NICEIC compliance paperwork that satisfies building control, mortgage lenders, and future property buyers.
Should I rewire before installing an EV charger or heat pump?
Definitely worth assessing first. Older wiring and consumer units often can't safely handle the continuous high loads that EV chargers and heat pumps demand. We're exclusive partners with Kentures for EV installations across the West Midlands, so we'll test your existing circuits and only recommend upgrades if genuinely necessary for safe operation.
What's the difference between partial and full house rewiring?
Partial rewiring replaces specific dangerous circuits whilst keeping safe existing cables, potentially saving you thousands. Full rewiring means every circuit gets new cables and a modern consumer unit. We test each circuit individually during assessment and provide honest recommendations rather than automatically pushing for complete replacement when it's not needed.
Do you provide documentation showing what work was completed?
You receive comprehensive certification including Electrical Installation Certificates, test results for every circuit, detailed wiring diagrams, and photographic evidence of work completed behind walls. This documentation proves compliance with BS 7671 regulations and provides invaluable reference for any future electrical work or property sales.
How quickly can you start a rewiring project after assessment?
We typically reply to new enquiries within five minutes and can schedule assessments within days. Once you approve the quote, most projects start within one to two weeks depending on current workload. For urgent safety issues flagged by insurance surveys or failed inspections, we prioritise scheduling to prevent coverage gaps or sale delays.
