How long does a full house rewire take?An average three-bedroom house typically takes around one to two weeks to completely rewire. However, this timeframe depends heavily on the size of the property, the complexity of the new layout, and whether the house is currently occupied or empty. We always provide a clear, realistic timeline during your initial survey.Can I live in the house during a rewire?While it is possible to remain in the property, we highly recommend moving out for a short period if you can. Rewiring involves lifting carpets, chasing plaster, and temporarily turning off the power. If you must stay, our team will ensure you have essential power and lighting at the end of each working day.What happens to the walls after the cables are installed?Because we need to chase cables into the walls, there will be some plasterwork required afterwards. As a comprehensive property maintenance company, we can seamlessly arrange for interior painting and decorating to restore your rooms to a pristine condition once the electrical work is finished.
