Full & Partial House Rewires
Plenty of homes around Coleford are older than their wiring records. Stone cottages, former miners' rows and the 1930s to 1960s houses spread through Broadwell, Coalway and Berry Hill often still run on cable that was never meant to carry a modern kitchen. A fuse box full of old rewireable fuses or wiring in rubber or fabric usually means the house is overdue.
A rewire is the biggest electrical job a house ever has, so it gets proper planning. We walk the house with you room by room before a single cable is lifted, agreeing where every socket, switch and light should go. Floors are protected, walls are chased cleanly and everything is made good afterwards. The whole installation is tested, certified and signed off. You get a day by day plan up front so you always know what is happening.

Rewires questions, answered
How much does a full rewire cost?
Across the UK a full rewire on a three-bed house usually lands somewhere between about £4,000 and £7,000, with older solid wall properties towards the top of that. Coleford has plenty of those, so we look at the house before pricing. You get one fixed price in writing before any work starts and nothing grows on the invoice.
How long does a full rewire take?
One to two weeks for a typical three bedroom home, depending on the size and whether you are living in it. You get a clear day by day plan before we start.
Can we live in the house during a rewire?
Usually yes. We work room by room and keep the power on overnight wherever we can. Some jobs are quicker and cheaper with the house empty. We will tell you honestly which yours is.
How do I know if my home needs rewiring?
Common signs are a fuse box with old rewireable fuses, fabric or rubber coated cable, warm or loose sockets and too few sockets in a room. A safety check will tell you for certain. We will never recommend a rewire you do not need.
