Full home rewires in Lees
- 01
Signs a house needs rewiring
Black rubber or fabric-covered cables, round-pin sockets, light switches on the skirting boards and a very old fuse box are common signs. So are too few sockets and regular use of extension leads. An EICR can confirm whether the wiring needs replacing.

First fix and second fix
A rewire is done in two stages. First fix means running new cables through walls, floors and ceilings and fitting back boxes. After any plastering, second fix is when sockets, switches, lights and the new consumer unit are connected and the whole system is tested.

Planning your new layout
A rewire is the best time to put sockets where you need them, add outside lights, wire for data or prepare for an EV charger. We walk round the house with you before quoting, so the new layout suits how you live now.
What to expect from a full home rewire
We start with a walk round the property to agree where every socket, switch and light will go, then give you a free written quote and timescale. A full rewire usually takes several days, depending on the size of the house and whether the rooms are empty or furnished.
During the first fix, floorboards come up and walls are chased for the new cables, so expect dust and disruption. We cover floors and furniture and clear up each day. After plastering, we complete the second fix, test every circuit and register the work with building control.

Full home rewire questions
How long does a full home rewire take in Lees?
It depends on the size of the house and how easy it is to reach the cable routes. Most homes take several days for the first fix, then a shorter visit for the second fix once any plastering is done. Your written quote sets out how long each stage should take.
Can I live in my Lees house during a rewire?
Many people do, though it's easier if you can empty rooms as we work through them. You'll have power for at least part of each day in most cases. There will be dust and noise during the first fix, so we tell you which rooms are affected and when.
Will a full rewire damage my walls and floors?
Some making good is always needed. Floorboards are lifted and refitted, and walls are chased where cables drop to sockets and switches. These channels need filling or plastering afterwards, so it's best to plan the rewire before you redecorate. That way you only decorate once, after the electrics are finished.
What affects the price of a full home rewire in Oldham?
The size of the house, the number of sockets and lights you want, access under floors and in lofts, and any extras such as outside power or data points all affect the price. We visit and give you a written quote before anything is booked.
