Full & Partial Rewires

Older or damaged wiring can become unsafe and may struggle to cope with the way we use electricity today. We carry out full rewires, where all the wiring in a property is replaced, and partial rewires, where we renew just the circuits or areas that need attention.

Signs that it may be time include flickering lights, circuits that keep tripping, or sockets and switches that are old, cracked or warm to the touch. Get in touch and we'll assess what your property needs and explain the options clearly, including whether a full or partial rewire is the right choice.

Questions

Common questions

  • Signs may include old or deteriorating wiring, damaged accessories, outdated electrical installations or defects identified during an EICR. An inspection can help establish whether a full or partial rewire is appropriate.

  • A full rewire replaces the wiring throughout the agreed installation, while a partial rewire replaces wiring in specific areas or circuits where required.

  • Not always. It depends on the scale of the work, access to the wiring and whether essential services can remain available. An empty property can often make the work easier to organise.

  • The price depends on the property's size, number of sockets and lights, access to cables, wall finishes and the extent of the work. SCE can assess your requirements and provide a tailored quotation.
