Rewires & circuit upgrades

The scope depends on what is opened up — walls, floors and the condition of existing cables drive the plan.

What this covers

Full or partial rewires and additional circuits for kitchens, extensions and outdated wiring.

Do this first

  • Keep clear of sparking fittings, burning smells or flood water near electrics.
  • Do not keep resetting a breaker or RCD that trips immediately.
  • Note which rooms lost power and photograph the consumer unit if it is safe.

No power, a hot consumer unit or a new circuit? Tell us what is happening. Request an electrician
