Full house rewiring

Distinguish the house's age from the wiring's history

The appearance of a Hampstead property does not establish the age or condition of every circuit. Earlier renovations may have renewed some areas while leaving others unchanged. PEP assesses that history when discussing a house rewire. We look at the existing installation and the proposed refurbishment together, so the recommendation explains why particular work is needed instead of relying on a general assumption about period buildings.

Define exactly what will be renewed

A full rewire and a partial rewire are different project descriptions. Your scope should name the included rooms and circuits, any retained sections and the routes needed to connect them. Where access is available during building works, we discuss how it can be used sensibly. Where finishes are staying, the likely opening and reinstatement work needs consideration before installation starts. We coordinate those decisions with the owner and building team.

Plan for the next layout of the home

Once the extent of renewal is established, socket positions, switching and fixed equipment should be matched to the intended rooms. The consumer-unit arrangement is considered with that overall plan. We then agree first fix, second fix and completion checks against the refurbishment programme. The documentation supplied at handover describes the work actually completed, making the limits of any retained installation clear for the owner and future projects.

Your questions

Planning the work

Can newer circuits be retained during a rewire?

Potentially, if they are suitable for the proposed installation. We assess the relevant sections and state what remains within the agreed full or partial scope.

Will a modern consumer unit prove that the house was rewired?

No. A board may have been replaced without renewing all the wiring it supplies. Records and assessment are needed to establish the installation's extent and condition.
