Rewiring a lived-in Victorian terrace in Bristol

Old rubber cable, too few sockets and a family still living in the house. Here's how a typical terrace rewire goes, room by room.

Electrician running new cables during a house rewire

Bristol is full of Victorian terraces, and plenty still have wiring that's decades old. A typical call starts with a tripping fuse box, sockets that feel warm, or a new owner who wants the house made safe before decorating.

Living in while we work

Many families stay in the house during a rewire. We work room by room, cover furniture and floors, and get power back on at the end of each day where we can. Working around furniture takes longer, so furnished or lived-in homes are priced 30% higher.

What a rewire usually includes

  • New cables to every socket, switch and light
  • Extra sockets where the family actually needs them
  • Interlinked smoke and heat alarms
  • A new consumer unit with modern protection
  • Full testing and an electrical installation certificate
