House Rewire in Oxford

Plan a house rewire in Oxford with a qualified team. We replace old cables, sockets, switches and consumer units, working room by room to keep disruption low and testing everything at the end.

Signs Your House Needs Rewiring

Black rubber, fabric or lead covered cable is well past its working life. Other signs include an old fuse box, no earth wires on lighting circuits, round pin sockets, scorch marks, and sockets on only one wall. If your wiring is more than 25 to 30 years old, an EICR will show its true condition.

How a Rewire Works

A rewire happens in two stages. First fix is when we lift floorboards and chase walls to run new cables. Second fix is when we fit the new sockets, switches, lights and consumer unit. We then test every circuit and issue an Electrical Installation Certificate. Most houses need some plastering and decorating afterwards.

Living at Home During a Rewire

Many people stay at home while we rewire. We work through the house room by room and restore power where we can at the end of each day. Clearing rooms and lifting carpets before we start speeds things up. A typical three bedroom house takes around 5 to 10 working days.
