While a full house rewire is undeniably a significant undertaking, careful preparation and proactive planning can significantly streamline the entire process, making it much smoother. Before any work commences, we highly recommend walking through your home with our electricians. This collaborative discussion is essential to pinpoint the ideal locations for new sockets, light switches, various light fittings, and any other specific requirements you may have, such as dedicated circuits for high-power appliances or integrated smart home cabling. Thinking about your future electrical needs at this initial stage can help prevent additional work and costs later on.
To further facilitate our electricians’ work and simultaneously safeguard your personal belongings, it is highly advisable to clear furniture and any other valuable items from the specific areas where the electrical work will be conducted.
