Full house rewiring

A whole-house decision during renovation

When a Chiswick home is being modernised, the accessible rooms create an opportunity to review the wiring beyond the immediate building works. A full house rewire may suit a comprehensive renovation, while a defined partial scope may be appropriate elsewhere. PEP helps establish that boundary from the installation and your planned use of the home. We do not infer the condition of the cables simply from the appearance of the sockets.

Give every retained room a status

A useful plan identifies rooms being rewired, rooms being altered and rooms intended to stay as they are. It also records the routes between those areas and any shared circuits. This is particularly helpful where a rear extension and an upstairs renovation happen at different times. We discuss what can be completed in the present programme and what would remain for a later project, with the limits explained clearly.

Make first fix the end of the design decisions

Before cables are installed, agree the main furniture positions, kitchen specification and fixed equipment. The installation then follows a sequence of access, first fix, closed surfaces and second fix. If the house remains occupied, practical working areas and supply arrangements need a specific agreement. The handover includes testing and documentation for the actual work carried out, so a partial rewire is not described as a complete replacement of the home's wiring.

Your questions

Planning the work

Is a partial rewire always less disruptive?

It can reduce the rooms included, but cable routes or shared circuits may still require access elsewhere. We explain that before you compare the available scopes.

Can I add more sockets while the rooms are open?

Yes, positions should be discussed during the design stage. We review the circuit arrangement and intended use before incorporating the additions in the quotation.
