House Rewiring in County Durham
House Rewiring in County Durham
We carry out full house rewires across Spennymoor, Durham and the surrounding areas. Whether your property has old wiring that needs replacing or you're renovating and want everything brought up to standard, we handle the whole job from start to finish.
A house rewire involves replacing all of the electrical wiring throughout your home, covering every socket, switch, lighting circuit and the consumer unit. It's the only reliable way to bring an older property fully up to current regulations and make sure everything is safe for the long term.
Signs your home may need rewiring include regularly tripping fuses, old rubber or fabric insulated wiring, a lack of earth connections, or a property that hasn't been updated in over 25 years. We can inspect the installation and give you an honest assessment before any work is agreed.
All rewiring work is fully tested and certified on completion. We work cleanly and efficiently, keeping disruption to a minimum throughout the job and leaving everything safe, tidy and ready to use when we're done.

Consumer Unit & Fuse Board Upgrades
The consumer unit, also known as the fuse board, is the heart of your home's electrical system. If yours is outdated, undersized or no longer meets current standards, we can replace it with a modern unit that keeps your home safe and compliant.
Modern consumer units include RCD and RCBO protection, which automatically cuts the power if an electrical fault is detected. This is a significant safety improvement over older fuse boxes that rely on rewireable fuses or early MCBs without residual current protection.
A consumer unit upgrade is often included as part of a full house rewire, but it can also be carried out as a standalone job. If you're unsure whether your board needs replacing, we can take a look and give you a straight answer before any work is committed to.
All upgrades are completed to BS 7671 wiring regulations and a full completion certificate is issued on the day.

EICR & Electrical Safety Certificates
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection and test of the electrical installation in a property. It identifies any defects, deterioration or departures from current wiring regulations that could present a safety risk.
EICRs are a legal requirement for landlords in England and must be carried out every five years. They're also strongly recommended when buying or selling a property, following a rewire or consumer unit upgrade, or if you have any doubt about the age or condition of your electrics.
We carry out EICR inspections across Spennymoor, Bishop Auckland, Ferryhill and the wider County Durham area. On completion you receive a full written report with any observations graded by severity, along with a certificate you can provide to tenants, solicitors or insurers.
If the inspection identifies remedial work, we can carry that out for you too, with no need to coordinate multiple contractors.

Costs vary depending on the size of the property, the number of circuits required and the condition of the existing installation. A typical three-bedroom house in County Durham would usually fall in the range of £3,000 to £6,000 or more. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us for a no-obligation assessment and quote.
-
Most rewires on a standard three to four-bedroom house take between three and seven days, depending on the size and complexity of the job. We'll give you a realistic timeframe before any work begins so you can plan around it.
-
Not necessarily. Most rewires can be carried out while you remain in the property. There will be periods without power to certain circuits as the work progresses, but we work room by room where possible and restore power each evening. We'll discuss the specifics with you before we start.
-
Common signs include regularly tripping circuit breakers or blown fuses, old rubber or fabric-insulated wiring, a lack of earth connections, sockets or switches that feel warm or show scorch marks, flickering lights, or a property that hasn't had any electrical work done in over 25 years. If you're unsure, an EICR inspection can confirm the condition of your installation.
-
Yes. All rewiring work is fully tested on completion and we issue the appropriate electrical certificates, including the Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) confirming the installation meets BS 7671 wiring regulations. You'll need this for building regulations compliance and it's also useful if you come to sell the property.
-
Yes, and in most cases it makes sense to do both together. A full house rewire almost always includes a new consumer unit as part of the job. We'll replace the board with a modern unit that includes full RCD and RCBO protection as standard, leaving your installation fully up to current regulations.
