Rewiring a house is a big job — there’s no way round that — but it shouldn’t be the nightmare people assume it’s going to be. We work one room at a time, dust-sheet everything, and leave the kitchen and one bedroom live each night so you can stay in the house the whole time. Most families tell us by week two they’ve forgotten we’re there.
We do full rewires across Watford, Bushey, Harrow and north-west London — usually because the wiring is original 1960s stock, or there are old rubber/lead cables tucked in the walls, or a survey has flagged something. We’ll come and look for free and tell you honestly whether it’s actually time to rewire or whether a partial job will do.

Timeline & pricing
A three-bed semi in Watford typically runs £3,500–£5,500 depending on floor count, chimney breasts and whether you’re replacing the consumer unit at the same time. A four/five-bed or Edwardian property with high ceilings is £5,500–£8,500. A partial rewire — kitchen, bathroom and consumer unit only — starts at £1,950.
Certified properly
Every rewire is notified to building control under Part P and signed off with a BS 7671 Electrical Installation Certificate. We use LSZH cable throughout, RCBO protection on every circuit, and SPDs as standard. The work carries our six-year NICEIC Platinum Promise.
