House rewire work in Coventry
- 01
First fix and second fix
A rewire happens in two stages. First fix is running the new cables and fitting back boxes, which means lifting floorboards and chasing into walls. Second fix, after any plastering, is fitting the sockets, switches, lights and the new consumer unit.

Planning sockets and lights
A rewire is the best chance to put sockets, switches and lights exactly where you want them. Think about where the TV, bedside lamps, chargers and kitchen appliances go. We walk round the house with you and agree every point before work starts.

Living at home during a rewire
Many people stay at home during a rewire, but it's noisy and dusty, and rooms need clearing as we work through them. The power is off for parts of each day. Working room by room helps, and we'll agree a plan that suits your household.
What to expect from a house rewire
We start by looking at your existing wiring and consumer unit, then walk round the house to plan new socket, switch and light positions. You get a free quote that sets out what's included and how long the work should take.
During the work, we lift floors and chase walls to run the new cables, then fit a new consumer unit. Once any plastering is done, we fit the sockets, switches and lights, test every circuit and give you a certificate for the installation.
What's included
- Planning visit and walk-round
- New cables to every circuit

House rewire questions
How long does a full house rewire take in Coventry?
It depends on the size of the house, how many points you want and whether the home is empty. A small flat is much quicker than a large family house, and living at home during the work also adds time. We'll give you a timescale with your quote.
How much does a house rewire cost in Coventry?
The cost depends on the number of bedrooms, how many sockets, switches and lights you want, and how easy it is to get under floors and into walls. Extras like outside lighting add to it. We visit, plan it with you and give you a free quote.
Is a house rewire notifiable work in Coventry?
Yes. In England, a full rewire is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so building control must be told about it. We'll explain how the notification is handled for your job when we quote, and you get a certificate once the installation is tested.
Will I need to redecorate after a house rewire in Coventry?
Usually, yes. Chasing cables into walls and lifting floors leaves marks that need filling and painting afterwards, so most people plan to decorate once the rewire is done. Doing the rewire before you redecorate saves having to do the decorating twice.
