Scope

Partial rewiring vs full rewiring

Partial rewiring targets a single area — a kitchen, an addition, a faulty circuit. It’s far cheaper and quicker, but doesn’t fix systemic issues.

Full rewiring replaces every cable from switchboard to outlet. It’s the right call for older homes with degraded wiring, or as part of a major renovation.

Partial: 1–3 days, lower cost
Full: 1–2 weeks, future-proof
Both include a compliance certificate

Older homes are a serious fire risk

Homes built before 1980 with rubber or cloth-covered wiring should be assessed. We provide free safety assessments — no pressure, just honest advice.
