About this Service

If your home’s wiring is over 25 years old, a full electrical rewire may be essential for safety, reliability, and compliance with modern standards. We provide complete and partial house rewires across Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley & Doncaster and the wider South Yorkshire area — carried out to BS7671 standards and fully compliant with the 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations. Whether you’re renovating, upgrading an older property, or experiencing electrical issues, we modernise your home’s electrics safely and efficiently, with minimal disruption. Can You Live in the Property During a Rewire? In many cases, yes. We regularly carry out rewires in occupied homes, working in stages to reduce disruption. We keep your property tidy, protect floors and furniture, and clearly explain the process before work begins. For renovation projects, we can also coordinate with builders and plasterers for a smooth finish. For unoccupied homes on a tight schedule, we aim to complete the 1st fix over a weekend, ensuring the next stages of your renovation can proceed without delay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Estimated Response: Within 60 mins*
Do I need to move out?

While it's faster if the property is empty, we frequently rewire occupied homes by working room-by-room to minimize disruption.

How much does a rewire cost?

Costs vary by property size and specification. Contact us for a free, detailed fixed-price quote.

Will a rewire damage my decor?

Rewiring involves chasing walls, so some plastering will be needed. We keep mess to a minimum and can include plastering in our quote.

How do I know if I need a rewire?

If you have old rubber or fabric wiring, round pin sockets, or no RCD protection, it's likely you need a rewire. A free visual inspection can confirm this.
