Full & partial rewiring · Queen’s Park NW6
Plan the wiring around the home you want to live in.
PEP provides full and partial rewiring in Queen’s Park for houses, converted flats and refurbishment projects. We bring the electrical installation, lighting, kitchen requirements and heating controls into one considered plan, with a clear scope from the first cable routes to final testing.
Domestic InstallerKnow what is being replaced, what can stay and what the finished home needs — before the floors come up.
Whether you are renovating an entire property or changing a few important rooms, the starting point is the same: understand the existing installation, agree the work it needs and make the decisions that are expensive to revisit after decorating.
01 · Begin with a clear plan
A rewire should make everyday life easier: sockets where furniture actually goes, lighting that suits the room and circuits planned for the appliances you intend to use.
It should also leave you knowing exactly what you have paid for.
Before installation, we establish four things: the wiring to be replaced, anything suitable to retain, the work to coordinate with other trades and who will restore the affected finishes. That distinction matters when a newly extended kitchen sits behind retained reception rooms, or a flat has been altered several times by different owners.
Our aim is a coherent installation, not another layer of additions that the next renovation has to untangle.
02 · Replace what needs replacing
These are different projects. Choosing the right one starts with assessment, not the age of the house alone.
A full rewire replaces the wiring and associated equipment within the defined installation scope. It can be the appropriate route where widespread deterioration, unsuitable alterations or a major redesign makes retaining the existing arrangement impractical.
A partial rewire replaces particular circuits or areas while retaining wiring that has been assessed as suitable. It still requires a view of the wider installation: the supply, circuit protection, earthing and bonding cannot be ignored simply because the building work is limited to one room.
A consumer-unit replacement changes the distribution and protective equipment. It does not replace cables concealed in walls or make unsuitable existing circuits acceptable.
An older installation does not automatically require wholesale replacement. Equally, a relatively new-looking fuse board does not prove that everything behind it is in good condition.
Our guide to consumer-unit replacement versus a full rewire explains the decision in more detail. Where a board upgrade is the appropriate scope, see our consumer-unit replacement service.
03 · One neighbourhood. Different homes.
A kitchen extension, loft conversion or rearranged ground floor can change electrical demand and the way you use the entire home. We consider how new work connects with retained rooms, where cables can run and whether the proposed arrangement leaves sensible provision for later improvements.
That might mean agreeing a study layout now, allowing for accessible lighting equipment or planning routes for a future project. Provision should be specific and useful, rather than an open-ended promise to “future-proof everything”.
Rewiring a converted flat is not the same as rewiring the building around it. The flat’s installation, incoming supply, meter equipment, communal routes and landlord-controlled systems may have different owners and responsibilities.
Before work starts, relevant access arrangements and any freeholder or managing-agent requirements need to be established. Shared corridors, ceilings, service routes, fire separation and acoustic construction can all affect the method and programme.
Work to a communal supply, meter or network connection is not automatically included in a flat rewire. Any such requirement needs identifying and coordinating with the responsible party.
04 · Know what is included
A useful specification tells you more than the number of bedrooms. It should identify:
Plans are helpful, but a furniture layout and an appliance schedule can be just as important. A socket hidden behind a fitted wardrobe or an inaccessible lighting driver is a design problem best resolved before first fix.
05 · Protect what makes the home yours
Original floorboards, cornices, panelling and finished joinery deserve an access plan. We discuss the likely routes and openings before work begins, including where a less intrusive option is practical and where access is unavoidable.
There is no honest promise that every rewire can be completed without chasing walls or lifting floors. The objective is to make informed decisions early and avoid unnecessary disturbance.
For listed properties or sensitive historic fabric, consent requirements must be checked for the particular work. Being in a conservation area does not, by itself, mean that every internal electrical alteration needs planning permission.
06 · Decide before the walls close
An induction hob, ovens, boiling-water tap and utility appliances need a coordinated electrical plan. We work from the actual proposed equipment and kitchen layout, checking connection and isolation arrangements before cabinets and worktops restrict access.
Our kitchen electrics renovation guide explains the decisions worth making before the kitchen is ordered.
Think about how a room will be used in the evening as well as how it looks on a drawing. Task lighting, general illumination and quieter evening lighting may need different switching or dimming arrangements.
Luminaire, lamp, driver and dimmer compatibility should be considered together. Drivers and control equipment also need suitable, accessible locations. See our home lighting design guide for ideas to develop alongside the rewiring plan.
Thermostats, zone controls, pumps and underfloor-heating wiring centres need coordination with the heating design. Deciding their positions after the electrical first fix often means reopening completed work.
Where PEP is also providing underfloor heating in Queen’s Park or central-heating installation, we can coordinate the agreed mechanical and electrical work together. Our Queen’s Park plumbing service covers related pipework and installation needs.
07 · From assessment to handover
Stage 01
We review the property, existing installation and proposed changes. Access restrictions, retained areas, equipment choices and responsibilities are recorded before the installation scope is finalised.
Stage 02
Cable routes, back boxes and the underlying installation are completed at the appropriate stage of the building work. This is when agreed socket heights, kitchen details and lighting positions become physical decisions.
Stage 03
Plastering, joinery, kitchens and floor finishes can sit between electrical stages. The programme should make these dependencies clear. Changes need to be discussed before they affect concealed routes or finished surfaces.
Stage 04
Sockets, switches, fittings and controls are installed and connected as the relevant areas become ready. Equipment availability matters: missing decorative fittings can delay an otherwise complete room.
Stage 05
The completed work is inspected and tested, circuits are identified and the appropriate documentation is issued. We explain the equipment and controls included in the installation so the handover is useful, not just a folder of paperwork.
08 · Plan around real life
Sometimes, but this needs a realistic discussion before dates are agreed. Occupied rewiring can require phased access, furniture moves, protected work areas and planned periods without particular circuits or appliances.
It can also take longer than equivalent work in an empty property. Children, pets, home working and reliance on electrically powered equipment all need considering.
For a substantial full-house renovation, moving out for the most disruptive stages may be more practical. We agree the proposed approach with you; we do not assume that every room can remain usable or that normal power will be available throughout the work.
09 · The room after the rewire
Electrical installation and final decoration are not interchangeable line items.
Opening a cable route, filling a chase, skimming a wall, repairing a floor and redecorating can involve different stages and trades. “Making good included” is too vague unless the quotation explains the finish being provided.
Before starting, we agree who is responsible for each affected surface and whether the electrical price includes any of that work. This helps you budget for the completed room, rather than discovering a separate finishing project after the sockets have been fitted.
10 · Compare the complete scope
Two homes with the same floor area can need very different budgets. The main cost factors include:
A meaningful quotation should state inclusions, exclusions, equipment allowances and VAT treatment. Compare those details before comparing totals: an electrical-only price and a fully coordinated refurbishment allowance are not the same offer.
Send us your postcode, property type, outline plans and intended scope. We can then discuss the information and assessment needed to price the work properly.
11 · Electrical work & the wider programme
The electrical installation time is only part of the programme. Access, building work, drying stages, kitchen fitting and the delivery of selected equipment can all influence the completion date.
We distinguish between time on site for electrical work and the overall period between first fix and handover. A vacant property with an agreed specification is a different proposition from an occupied flat being refurbished room by room.
The programme should be based on your project, with dependencies and expected interruptions explained before work begins.
12 · A documented finish
PEP is registered with the NICEIC Domestic Installer Scheme. New installation work is designed, installed and verified against the requirements applicable to the project, including BS 7671.
A full rewire should be handed over with an Electrical Installation Certificate and the relevant schedules of inspections and test results. The Building Regulations compliance process is a separate requirement: notifiable work in England also needs the appropriate notification and compliance documentation.
We explain the paperwork associated with the agreed work rather than treating “a certificate” as one catch-all promise. Circuit identification and instructions for installed equipment are also part of making the finished system understandable.
For the regulatory background, see the government’s guidance on electrical safety and Part P.

Before you start
No. Condition, previous alterations and the proposed use of the installation matter. Assessment determines whether full replacement, partial replacement or a more limited upgrade is appropriate.
Yes, where the retained installation is suitable and the new work can be safely integrated. The assessment still considers the supply, protective arrangements and relevant parts of the wider installation.
Often, but the boundary of the flat’s installation and any shared access or supply requirements need confirming. A flat rewire does not automatically include communal wiring or meter alterations.
That depends on the available routes and construction. We discuss anticipated openings and retained finishes before starting, rather than promising a completely non-invasive installation.
Only where it is expressly included in the quotation. Chase filling, plastering, floor repairs and decorating should each have a clear scope and responsible party.
This can be agreed, but suitability, compatibility and delivery dates need checking before installation. Supplying a fitting does not remove the need to coordinate its driver, dimmer or installation requirements.
No. Replacement wiring is not an energy-saving guarantee. Efficient lighting and appropriate controls may help reduce consumption, but their benefit depends on the equipment and how it is used.
Your postcode, property type, occupancy, intended renovation scope and any plans are a useful start. Photos of accessible equipment can help; do not remove electrical covers or expose wiring to take them.
