What a full rewire changes
A layout that fits life
Sockets, lights and appliance feeds are planned for how you use the house now.
One planned system
Rewiring the property together avoids years of piecemeal add-ons and patching.
Stages you can follow
First fix, second fix and testing are set out clearly before the work starts.
Why a full rewire can change the whole house
Old wiring, too few sockets and years of add-on changes can leave a house feeling awkward before a single wall is painted. A full rewire puts the installation back on a planned footing, replacing tired circuits and setting out sockets, lighting and supplies where they make sense for the way you live now. With I.P.S Electrical Installations Ltd, we start with a survey of the property and a proper talk about room use, high-load appliances and where future demand is likely to land.
Planning the disruption instead of pretending it is not there
Rewiring is disruptive, and it is better said plainly. Floors may need lifting, walls and ceilings may need access, furniture may need moving, and the work has to fit around decoration and other trades. We break the job into first fix, second fix, testing and handover so you know what happens when. Choose I.P.S Electrical Installations Ltd when you would rather treat the property as one electrical system instead of chasing the same shortcomings room by room over the next few years.
Frequently asked questions
Does a full rewire mean lifting floors and opening walls?
Usually, yes to some degree. Access is often needed to run new cables through floors, walls and ceilings, and the level of disruption depends on the property and the finish you want afterwards. We explain the likely access needed at survey stage so you can plan decoration, furniture and other trades.
Can you plan extra sockets and appliance circuits at the same time?
Yes, and that is one of the main advantages of rewiring properly. We can plan socket numbers, lighting positions and dedicated supplies for heavier loads as part of the overall layout. That is usually better than finishing the job and then wishing another round of alterations had been included.
Is it better to rewire before decorating?
In most cases, yes. Rewiring is far easier before new plaster, paint, flooring and fitted joinery are finished. If the property is being renovated, it makes sense to get the electrical work planned early so first fix, second fix and final decoration line up in the right order.
