Rewiring is priced per job after the property has been seen, because the amount of cable and labour differs from house to house. A written quote sets out the whole figure before any date is agreed, with no hidden costs. - House rewiring: Price on request - All new cabling, the consumer unit and standard white sockets and switches sit inside the quoted figure. - Instrument testing of each finished circuit, the installation certificate and building control notification are included. - Skim plastering, repainting and new floor coverings stay outside the electrical work. - Property size, circuit count and whether the house is lived in during the work all shift the final figure. ## House rewiring across Derby We serve Derby from our base in Swadlincote. - Allestree - Darley Abbey - Little Chester - Strutts Park - Mickleover - Littleover - Chaddesden - Spondon - Alvaston - DE1 - DE3 - DE21 - DE22 - DE23 - DE24 ## What happens on the day A house rewire in Derby replaces the wiring hidden in walls and floors with new cable. The work falls into two parts: getting the cable to every point first, then fitting the accessories once the walls are ready. ### Planning the cable layout Before any cable goes in, each room is walked through to agree where sockets, switches and light points will sit. The consumer unit, the box that houses the circuit breakers, is checked along with the main earthing so the new circuits can be connected safely. ### New cable through the building Floorboards are lifted and channels called chases are cut into the plaster so fresh twin and earth cable can be drawn to every planned point. This stage is known as first fix. The electricity goes back on at the end of each day, so an occupied house keeps lights and essential sockets. ### Accessories fitted once walls are dry After the walls have been plastered and dried, second fix begins. Socket and switch faceplates, pendant lights and the new consumer unit are connected, and heavier loads such as cookers and electric showers get their own dedicated feeds. ### Tests, certificate and a tidy finish Every finished circuit is meter tested for earth continuity, insulation resistance and correct polarity before the supply is energised. An Electrical Installation Certificate and building control notification follow, and dust and offcuts are cleared away. ## House rewiring questions for Derby homes ### Do you take on house rewiring in Derby?
