If you have a rewire project planned, you’re probably thinking “How long does a rewire take?” Allied Electrical Services are a professional team, specialising in house rewires across Bristol.
What happens during a rewire?
We know many property owners can feel anxious before a rewire project. That’s why we like to give our clients as much information as possible. A rewire is essentially the removal of old, outdated and faulty electrical wiring. Outdated outlets and switches are removed too. We then lay modern electrical cabling along with the backboxes for new switches and sockets throughout the property.
Once the faceplates, fixtures and fittings are installed, a series of electrical tests are run to ensure the wiring is safe and in line with industry standards.
Unlike other electricians out there, Allied Electrical Services go one step further and make sure plastering is applied over chased out walls.
How long does a rewire take?
Now this is a tricky question as there are a number of factors to take into account. Allied Electrical Services consider the number of bedrooms at the property in Bristol, the size of the property and occupancy status. If the property is empty and furniture does not need to be moved from room to room, a rewire is much faster.
Just to give you a rough idea, an average three bedroom house in Bristol might take the team as little as four days to rewire.
How much do rewires in Bristol cost?
A rewire can cost from £4500 for an average three bedroom property in Bristol. There are some key considerations such as the age of the property. We sometimes find older properties or timber framed structures may have harder to reach wiring. As removing the wiring can be complex, this might affect the cost.
We also like to remind clients that the cost of a rewire is determined by the quality of fittings you choose. Premium metal or high end outlets and switches cost more than the traditional white plastic found in most homes.
