Rewires

Old and worn-out wiring can pose a real risk for you, your home, and your household. As a homeowner, you want peace of mind that the electrics and wiring in your home are safe.

It can be stressful to choose an electrician that is transparent and trustworthy. At SFE Contractors , we keep our prices transparent and make sure you’re involved through each stage of the project.

Many UK homes and businesses have old electrical wiring, but did you know that rewiring your home & business is a great way to add value and ensure its safety?

Electrical rewiring costs will vary depending on factors, including:

• The size of your house or property
• The specifications of the fittings and fixtures you choose
• The number of socket outlets, lighting, and outdoor power points
• Where you live in the UK

What is required when rewiring ?

Electrical cables will run under flooring and through walls. If you’re renovating a house, it’s highly recommended to complete rewiring at the same stage as any plumbing or heating works. Try to rewire before any plastering or cosmetic work takes place.

During a full rewire, your SFE electrician will:

• Strip old wires
• Install new wires
• Rewire telephone and aerial sockets
• Fit new sockets and switches
• Rewire power and lighting circuits
• Install a new metal fuse board with full RCD protection
• Add modern technology, if required e.g. automated lighting
