Re-Wires

Here at PSV Electrical, we aim to help you fully upgrade your houses electrical installtion to a safe and compliant one.

Why are rewires important to consider in older properties?

Over time, cabling and fixtures degrade and problems can arise. Not only will these problems cause problems such as tripping and losing power to certain circuits which can cause further issues such as freezers defrosting etc but the safety aspect - over 8000 house fires a year in the UK are caused by dodgy/faulty electrcial installations.

Every single re-wire that we have completed, we have found a number of issues in the pre-existing install, such as cables that are not suited to the amount of amps available on the circuit. this in itself is a fire risk.

If you have any concerns or questions about whether your property requires a re-wire (Or any other work to make it safe) then please get in touch.

 

Re-wires are highly recomended in the UK every 25 years if no other warning signs show up before then.

Warning signs may include;

  • Flickering lights
  • Constantly replacing bulbs
  • Damaged power sockets (Signs of burning)
  • Frequently tripping breakers
  • Any electric shocks
  • Signs of warn cables
  • Black, rubber insulated cables.

We will be in and out as quick as possible after fully re-wiring every circuit and replacing the end fixtures, not including your kitchen appliances.

We offer 2 prices on a re-wire quote, one for an empty, none lived in premises ideally with no furnishings etc, and one for the property being lived in for the duration of the works - However discounts will be applied if you are able to vacate the premises for the duration. The key differences here is that a lived in property would require a lot of extra work to make the area safe/livable at the end of every day before we leave and requiring us to add a temporary power solution so you are not left without any power at all, drastically prolonging the re-wire duration.

We will complete the re-wire, test the circuits and clean up before we leave.

Time estimates are very bespoke to eacdh property, normally ranging from 3 - 14 days.

Estimated costs (3 bedroom house with one bathroom and no outbuildings.) Each property will undergo a thorough evaluation and a bespoke quote will be generated to suit.

Empty premises - £6000 Estimated

Lived in premises - £6500 Estimated

Guidance Notes

Dust/Debris

Multiple wall chases will be made during a re-wire, which in turn will create a lot of dust and debris.  We will of course clean it all up prior to completion, but please be mindful of covering any delecate equiptment or moving it to a different location prior to our arrival.  We will however cover any equiptment and furnature present with plastic dust sheets.

Floor Boards

During the re-wire, a lot of floor boards will be pulled up for running cables, leaving joists and the void below the flooring on show.  This will all be put back as was prior to completion, or at the end of every day in a lived in re-wire.

Carpets and Dust

Please note.  Although we do all we can to re-lay the carpets as they were found, we are not carpet fitters.  We have never had a customer complain about our carpet re-lays, but feel it should be mentioned here.  Dust from the ceiling cut-outs may be present in the room for a few hours post works completion.
