Rewiring

Rewiring starts with cable condition, routes and rewiring choices. The existing installation and actual requirement are assessed before repair, alteration or replacement is proposed.

When you may need rewiring

Symptoms and situations worth having checked

Renovation exposes alterations?

Open access helps trace and plan circuits.

Need a new route?

Conduit, trunking and concealed paths have different implications.

Old wiring and modern loads?

Condition and protection matter more than age alone.

What the work can include

  • Compare partial and broad rewiring
  • Inspect accessible wiring
  • Assess circuit demand
  • Trace affected sections
  • Plan routes and containment

How the service is handled

A clear path from assessment to completion

  1. Test sections

    Circuits are checked before finishes close.

  2. Survey circuits

    Condition defines the investigation.

  3. Define new demand

    Rooms and equipment set requirements.

  4. Plan routes

    Access and disruption are agreed.
