Assessment and installation
Establish what is needed
Where the wiring condition is uncertain, we usually start with periodic inspection and testing. The findings help determine whether repairs, upgrades, partial rewiring or a full rewire are needed. About periodic inspections.
Plan the installation
Socket and lighting positions, fittings and equipment supplies are set out for the property. Access, power interruptions and the work sequence are planned around occupancy and other renovation work.
Install the wiring and fittings
First fix involves cable routes and wiring, which may require chasing walls and access beneath floors or above ceilings. Second fix involves fitting and connecting sockets, switches, lighting and other equipment.
Test and hand over
We inspect and test the completed installation and provide the appropriate Safe Electric Completion Certificate. Keep it with your property records.
House rewiring questions
How much does a house rewire cost?
The price depends on the property, access and specification. Occupancy, the number of electrical points, fittings and additional equipment affect the work involved. We assess the property and your requirements before providing a quotation.
How long does a house rewire take?
We agree the expected schedule after assessing the property and the work required, including access and coordination with other trades.
Can I stay in my house during rewiring?
We can work in occupied homes. Room access, power interruptions and the sequence of work are discussed before starting.
Can a new fuse board replace the need for rewiring?
A fuse board upgrade replaces the board and its protective devices, not the cables throughout the home. It may be suitable where existing circuits are in adequate condition. Inspection and testing help establish what is needed.
Are making good and plastering included?
Making good is included in our rewiring work. We can arrange a plasterer as an additional service where a plaster finish is required. Access and finishing requirements are discussed when preparing the quotation.
What certificate do I receive?
We provide the appropriate Safe Electric Completion Certificate for the completed installation work. This differs from a Periodic Inspection Report, which records the condition of an existing installation. Safe Electric certification guidance.
Is there an SEAI grant for house rewiring?
SEAI’s individual home energy grants do not list a standalone house-rewiring grant. Energy upgrades have their own eligibility requirements. Check current SEAI grant measures.
