For information about a house rewire near me, get in touch with Allied Electrical Services in Bristol. Priding ourselves on the top tier workmanship we deliver, our mission is to provide safe, modern and robust electrical installations to the local community.
Finding an electrician for a house rewire near me
Always work with a qualified electrician for house rewire projects. As NICEIC approved electricians, we ensure work such as a house rewire meets the highest safety standards. We actually generate an EIC or Electrical Installation Certificate to confirm work carried out by competent electricians and in compliance with industry regulations.
A full house rewire is classed as “notifiable” work. So strict guidelines must be followed when installing new electrical cabling with additional electrical fixtures. This includes sockets, switches and in some homes, upgrading the consumer unit too. By working with fully qualified electricians such as Allied Electrical Services, you can rest assured that Part P of the Building Regulations is met to confirm safety and quality.
What happens during a rewire?
Once a house rewire near me has been confirmed by our experienced team, our first job is to remove the outdated wiring and fixtures. Next, modern electrical wiring is installed alongside the back boxes for outlets and switches.
The second stage of a rewire takes place once the walls have been plastered. The team adds the finishing touches such as the faceplates of outlets and switches and run a series of compulsory tests to confirm compliance with BS7671 Wiring Regulations.
How much does a house rewire cost?
It’s always tricky calculating the cost of a rewire before seeing the property in question. Allied Electrical Services need to consider a few factors before giving customers a final cost. When planning a house rewire, we need to take on board the number of rooms and the size of the property. Larger homes with more rooms will mean more electrical cabling needs to be removed and replaced.
We also need to factor in specifications of materials and the quality of finish you want. Decorative accessories such as sockets and switches cost more than the standard white plastic fittings.
So whilst we can’t give you a firm cost for a house rewire near me in Bristol, what our professional team can tell you is that a review can cost from £4500 for an average three bedroom house.
How long does a rewire near me take?
Having conducted numerous house rewires in Bristol, we do advise customers to clear away bulky furniture as much as possible. Having access to the walls, flooring and ceiling is essential when removing older wiring. It makes the process of laying new cabling much faster, helping the team complete the rewire process.
As locals to Bristol, we have the advantage of getting to site bright and early in the morning. Our very efficient team works methodically to complete the two stages of a rewire. An average size three bedroom house can take between 7-10 days to complete.
