A full rewire is certainly disruptive, but preparation and planning can make the process easier. Before work starts, it is useful to go through your home with our electricians to decide on the position of sockets, switches, light fittings, and specific requirements such as network cabling or speaker cabling. Think about future requirements as well – extra sockets in the home office or kitchen, for example.

Protect your furniture and carpets with dust sheets as tracing around cables in walls can generate large quantities of dust.
