House rewires in Monmouth
- 01
Signs your house needs rewiring
Rubber, lead or fabric-covered cables, round-pin sockets, light switches on bathroom walls and a lack of earth wires all point to wiring that's past its best. So do frequent trips, scorch marks and too few sockets. An EICR will confirm whether a full rewire is needed.

First fix and second fix
A rewire happens in two stages. First fix runs new cables, back boxes and the new consumer unit while floors are up and walls are open. After plastering, second fix fits the sockets, switches and lights, and connects everything ready for testing.

How long it takes
Most homes take one to two weeks, depending on size, access and how much making good is needed. Living in the house during a rewire is possible, but it's easier if rooms can be emptied in turn. We give you a timescale with the quote.
What to expect from a house rewire
We start by walking through the house with you to plan where sockets, switches and lights should go, and to check the condition of the existing installation. The free quote sets out what's included, including whether plastering and making good are part of the price.
During the work, we lift floorboards and chase cables into walls room by room, covering floors and furniture as we go. Once everything is connected, we test every circuit and issue an Electrical Installation Certificate. A rewire is notifiable work, so we also register it with building control as NAPIT members.

House rewire questions
How much does a house rewire cost in Monmouth?
It depends on the size of the house, the number of sockets and lights you want, how easy access is and whether making good is included. We visit, plan the work with you and give you a free quote, so the full price is clear before anything starts.
Can I stay at home during a rewire in Monmouth?
Usually, yes, though it's dusty and you'll be without power at times. We work room by room so part of the house stays usable, and we reconnect power at the end of each day wherever we safely can. Some people move out for the noisiest days.
Do I need to redecorate after a house rewire near Monmouth?
Some redecorating is normally needed. New cables run in channels cut into the walls, which are filled and plastered afterwards. Rewiring before you decorate or fit a new kitchen saves redoing that work, so it's worth planning it first if a renovation is coming up.
Do I need a new consumer unit when I rewire my Monmouth house?
Usually, yes. A rewire is the right time to fit a modern metal consumer unit with RCD protection, as the old board is rarely suitable for the new circuits. It's normally included in the rewire quote, so you'll see the cost up front.
