Rewiring an Occupied House or Flat?
It’s possible to rewire while you’re still living in the property. But it takes extra care, more time, and careful planning.
We work in stages, protect your space with dust sheets, and clean up every day.
Expect an additional £500 – £1,000 on average compared to unoccupied rewires.
We’ll discuss all options during your quote visit so you can make the best decision.
Payment Stages
We keep payment straightforward:
- 30% deposit to secure your booking
- 50% due after first fix (wiring complete)
- Balance on completion. Certificates via PDF sent on final payment.
We accept card, bank transfer, and offer staged invoices for larger jobs.
