House Rewire Loughborough

Why Full Rewires Can Be Carried Out Further Afield

Most electrical work — fault finding, EICRs, small repairs — is tied to the local area because response time and travel cost matter for short visits. A full rewire is different.

• A rewire runs for 5 to 10 working days, sometimes longer for larger properties.
• Travel time is a small proportion of the total hours on site.
• The project is planned and scheduled in advance — there is no emergency call-out element.
• The client and contractor have time to discuss scope, access, programme and handover properly before work starts.

For the right project, Loughborough and surrounding areas are workable. Each project is considered individually.

What Is Included in a Full House Rewire

• New cabling installed throughout to BS 7671 (18th Edition)
• New sockets, switches and lighting points as agreed in scope
• Kitchen circuits — dedicated supplies for oven, hob, dishwasher, extractor
• Bathroom circuits where required
• Consumer unit upgrade where required — RCD/RCBO protection and surge protection device
• Full inspection and testing on completion
• Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) issued on completion
• Building Regulations notification (Part P) where applicable

Making good — plastering, painting, floor repairs — is not included. Redecoration is arranged separately once second fix is complete.

Kitchen rewires can also be carried out as standalone projects during a refurbishment or extension. See our kitchen rewire page for detail on appliance circuits, socket layouts and isolation requirements.

How Quoting Works for Loughborough Projects

Because Loughborough is outside the core Leicester service area, the preferred route to a quotation is:

1. Use the rewire calculator first. This gives a rough budget range based on property size and scope. It helps confirm whether a full rewire is within budget before either side invests time in a site visit.
2. Send photos, a floor plan and a short video walkthrough. A series of photos of each room, the consumer unit, the loft, under the stairs and any obvious problem areas, combined with a rough floor plan or description of the layout, allows a much more informed conversation before anyone travels. A short phone or video walkthrough can also help.
3. Initial discussion. We can talk through scope, programme, likely access issues, consumer unit position and any complications before committing to a site visit.
4. Site visit if the project is suitable. If the project looks like a good fit after the above steps, a site visit can be arranged to confirm the fixed quotation.

This approach saves time on both sides and means a site visit is only arranged when the project is genuinely suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you carry out house rewires in Loughborough?

Full vacant property rewires in Loughborough can be considered by arrangement, subject to scope, access, programme and timescale. We do not provide general electrical call-out work or small jobs in Loughborough — this page covers planned full rewire projects only.

How much does a house rewire in Loughborough cost?

Typical full house rewires for 2 to 4 bedroom properties are usually in the range of £5,500 to £9,000 inc VAT, depending on property size, number of electrical points and installation complexity. Use the rewire cost calculator to get a rough estimate before requesting a visit. A fixed quotation is confirmed following a site survey.

Why does the property need to be vacant?

A full rewire requires the electricity supply to be off for most of each working day. Floorboards are lifted throughout, walls are chased and there is significant disruption at every stage. A vacant property is the only practical setting for full rewire work.

How long does a full rewire take?

Most 2 to 4 bedroom properties take 5 to 10 working days. Larger properties or those with complex access, lath and plaster construction or unusual layouts will take longer.

Is testing and certification included?

Yes. Every rewire includes full inspection and testing on completion, an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), and Building Regulations notification (Part P) where applicable.

What do I need to provide before a site visit can be arranged?

Ideally: photos of each room and the consumer unit, a floor plan or description of the layout, and a short video walkthrough if possible. This allows a much more informed discussion before either side commits time to a site visit, and means the visit can be focused and productive.

Get the Conversation Started

The best starting point is the rewire calculator — it takes around 60 seconds and gives a realistic budget range based on your property. Once you have a rough figure, get in touch with photos and details and we can discuss whether the project is a good fit.
