A partial rewire does the same for the circuits that need it, often the lighting and the upstairs sockets, where the rest of the installation tests well. New build and extension work is the same discipline in a different sequence. First fix goes in before plaster: cable runs, back boxes, drops, feeds for the kitchen, shower, boiler, outside supply and any data containment. Second fix follows decoration: accessories, fittings, board, then inspection, testing and certification. We deliver this work for homeowners, landlords and builders across Stockport, Manchester, Salford, Bury and the surrounding boroughs. With 12 years across domestic and commercial installations, the programme is planned around the other trades so the electrical work is not the thing holding up the plasterer. ### Why professional work matters here A rewire is the one job where sequencing decides the cost. Done while floors are up and walls are open, cable runs are direct and damage is minimal. Done afterwards, the same circuits mean lifted floors, chased plaster and redecoration; the labour and making good outweigh the cable. ### Who it's for - Homeowners renovating a property or acting on a condition report - Landlords bringing older housing stock up to standard - Builders and developers needing first and second fix on programme - Buyers of properties with rubber, fabric or lead-sheathed wiring ### When it's needed - Wiring is rubber, fabric or lead sheathed, or has round-pin sockets - An EICR has returned unsatisfactory across multiple circuits - The property is being renovated with walls and floors already open - There are too few sockets and circuits for how the house is used - A new build, extension or conversion needs a full installation What happens if it's left ## The real cost ofpostponing a rewire Old cable does not fail politely. Rubber and fabric insulation becomes brittle, cracks at bends and terminations and eventually exposes conductors inside walls and above ceilings. Insulation resistance readings drop long before anything trips, which is exactly why a house can feel fine and still be at the end of its electrical life. Meanwhile the installation is being asked to do more than it was designed for. A 1960s house planned for a couple of lights and a handful of sockets now runs an electric shower, a kitchen full of appliances, a home office and vehicle charging. Circuits get extended, boards get filled, and protection stops matching the load. Financially, delay compounds. Every year of decoration, flooring and fitted furniture that goes over old wiring is money that will be disturbed when the rewire finally happens. And when it is triggered by a sale, a mortgage condition or a fault, it happens on someone else's timetable at short notice. ### Common mistakes we're called to fix - Decorating and fitting a new kitchen over wiring that is already failing - Replacing the consumer unit alone and assuming the circuits are now sound - Extending old circuits rather than replacing them while access exists - Choosing a price with no written specification of circuits or accessories - Leaving the rewire until contracts are exchanged on a sale Our process ## Five stages, every job,from enquiry to certificate - Step 1 ### Survey and specification We inspect and test the existing installation, agree circuit-by-circuit scope, socket and lighting positions, and confirm whether a full or partial rewire is the right call. - Step 2 ### Fixed quotation and programme You receive a written price with the circuits, accessories and making-good arrangements set out, plus dates that fit around the other trades. - Step 3 ### First fix Cables installed on safe routes, chases cut, back boxes fixed, feeds run for kitchen, shower, boiler, outbuildings and any data containment, ready for plaster. - Step 4 ### Second fix and testing Accessories and fittings installed, consumer unit terminated, then full inspection and testing of every circuit with results recorded. - Step 5 ### Certification and guarantee An Electrical Installation Certificate with schedules is issued, notifiable work is registered, and the installation carries our guarantee. 12-month workmanship guarantee when materials are supplied by us and no other contractor has worked on the installation beforehand. What you get out of it ## The difference between doneand done properly ### Decades of service life New cable, new protection and correct earthing replace an installation that has been degrading since it went in. ### A house wired for how you live Socket and lighting positions are planned with you, so you stop relying on extension leads and adaptors. ### Certified and sale-ready Full certification with schedules is issued, which is what surveyors, buyers, lenders and letting agents want to see. ### Modern protection throughout RCBO protection, correct bonding and properly rated circuits mean faults isolate a single circuit rather than the whole house. ### Programme you can build around First and second fix dates are agreed and held, so plasterers, joiners and decorators are not left waiting. ### Controlled disruption Routes planned to minimise chasing, floors and furniture protected, and the property left clean and usable each day. In detail ## How a rewireis actually built The installation is designed before it is cabled. Circuit schedule first: radial and ring final circuits for sockets, separate circuits for kitchen appliances, dedicated supplies for electric showers, cookers and immersion heaters, lighting split across floors so a single fault does not black out the house, and provision for outbuildings, garden supplies and vehicle charging where relevant. Board selection follows: metal-enclosed consumer unit with RCBO protection per circuit, main switch, SPD where justified, and spare ways for future work. Materials are chosen for the route. Twin and earth for concealed circuits, sized on load, length and installation method rather than habit; heat-resistant flex at fittings; SWA for external and outbuilding supplies; capping or conduit in chases; fire-rated supports for cables above ceilings and on escape routes; grommets at every metal enclosure. Earthing and bonding are renewed: main protective bonding to gas and water in the correct size, supplementary bonding where the installation requires it, and the main earthing conductor checked against the supply arrangement. Sequencing keeps the cost down. First fix while floors are lifted and walls are open, with chases cut cleanly and back boxes set to finished plaster depth. The board changeover is planned so the property is not without supply longer than necessary. Second fix after decoration, then dead and live testing circuit by circuit: continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, loop impedance and RCD trip times, recorded on the schedules that accompany the Electrical Installation Certificate. On new builds and extensions the same stages sit inside the main contractor's programme, with testing before handover. ### Variations of this service Full house rewireEvery circuit replaced, new board, new accessories, new earthing and bonding, certified on completion. Partial rewireCircuits that test poorly replaced while sound circuits are retained, based on measured results rather than assumption. New build first and second fixFull installation from intake to accessories, delivered to programme and tested before handover. Extensions, loft and garage conversionsNew circuits integrated into the existing installation, with the board upgraded where it cannot support them. Landlord and pre-sale rewiresOlder rented stock brought up to standard with certification suitable for the tenancy or sale file. ### In homes In occupied homes we phase the work room by room where possible, keeping essential supplies live and the property habitable through the programme. ### In commercial premises On new builds and commercial projects we work to drawings and to the main contractor's programme, coordinating first fix with other trades and testing before handover.

How much does a rewire cost in Stockport or Manchester?Cost depends on property size, circuit count, access, whether floors are up and how much making good is included, so a price is Not Provided here. After a survey you receive a written fixed quotation with the specification set out. How long does a rewire take?A typical three bedroom house is usually around five to ten working days split across first and second fix, with plastering in between. The programme is confirmed in the quotation. Can we live in the house during a rewire?Often yes, with disruption. We phase the work so essential supplies stay on where possible, though there will be days with dust, lifted floors and periods without power in parts of the house. Do I need a full rewire or a partial one?Testing decides it. If insulation resistance and earthing are sound on some circuits, those can often be retained. We give you the measured results rather than defaulting to the largest job. Do you make good after the work?The extent of making good is stated in the quotation so there is no ambiguity. Chases are filled where agreed; full redecoration is normally separate. Will I get a certificate?Yes, an Electrical Installation Certificate with schedules of inspection and test results, and notifiable domestic work registered under our NICEIC Domestic Installer registration. Is the work guaranteed?12-month workmanship guarantee when materials are supplied by us and no other contractor has worked on the installation beforehand. Do you work for builders on new builds?Yes. We deliver first and second fix to programme on new builds, extensions and conversions, working from drawings alongside the other trades. Can you add extra sockets and outside power at the same time?Yes, and it is the cheapest time to do it: while walls and floors are open the additional cable runs cost a fraction of what they would later.
