Full & Partial House Rewires
Older electrical installations may not be suitable for modern households, particularly where extra appliances, technology, heating controls, EV chargers or home-working spaces have been added over time. A full house rewire electrician can replace outdated cabling, sockets, switches and circuits throughout the property.
We also carry out partial rewires where only specific areas need upgrading, such as a kitchen, extension, loft conversion or damaged section of wiring. Our rewire services can include:
- Full rewires and partial rewires
- Replacement electrical wiring
- New circuits for appliances and extensions
- Socket and switch replacements
- Consumer unit upgrades
- Earthing and bonding improvements
- Electrical testing and certification
We plan the work carefully to minimise disruption and keep you informed throughout the project.
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Signs that a property may require rewiring include frequently tripping circuits, flickering lights, damaged cables, outdated fuse boards, scorching around sockets or a shortage of sockets for modern use. Homes with old wiring systems, such as rubber, fabric or lead-insulated cables, should be assessed by a qualified electrician.
A professional inspection can identify whether a full rewire, partial rewire or targeted electrical upgrades are the most appropriate solution for your home.

FAQs
What to Ask When Rewiring Your Home
What are the signs of faulty electrical wiring?
Common signs include frequently tripping circuits, flickering lights, damaged cables, burning smells, scorching around sockets, electric shocks, outdated fuse boards and too few sockets. Older rubber, fabric or lead-insulated wiring should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
How much does a house rewire cost?
The cost of a house rewire depends on the size, age and layout of the property, the number of circuits and sockets required, access, and the specification of lighting and accessories. AWB Electrical Services Ltd can carry out a survey and provide a clear quotation for your Hertfordshire home.
How long does a full house rewire take?
The duration of a full house rewire varies according to the size and condition of the property and whether it is occupied. A typical rewire can take from several days to a few weeks. We will discuss the expected programme before work begins and plan the project to minimise disruption.
Can you carry out partial rewires as well as full house rewires?
Yes. We complete both full and partial house rewires in Hertfordshire. Partial rewires are suitable for specific areas such as kitchens, extensions, loft conversions, garages or sections with old or damaged electrical wiring.
Do you rewire homes during renovations and extensions?
Yes. We provide electrical wiring for home renovations, extensions and loft conversions, including new circuits, sockets, switches, heating controls, extractor fans, lighting and outdoor power supplies.
Can I live in my home while it is being rewired?
In some cases, it may be possible to remain in the property during a rewire, particularly where work can be completed in stages. However, full rewires can be disruptive, with temporary power interruptions and access needed to walls and floors. We will explain the practical options during your survey.
What is included in a full house rewire?
A full house rewire can include replacement cables, new circuits, sockets, switches, lighting points, consumer unit upgrades, earthing and bonding improvements, testing and electrical certification. The exact scope is tailored to your property and requirements.

Do you carry out wiring for kitchens, bathrooms and home extensions?
Yes. We provide electrical wiring for kitchens, bathrooms, extensions and new spaces, including appliance circuits, sockets, wet-zone lighting, extractor fans, heating controls and compliant outdoor or garden room supplies where required.
Can you replace old or damaged electrical wiring?
Yes. We can replace outdated, unsafe or damaged electrical wiring and assess whether a targeted partial rewire or a complete rewire is the safest and most cost-effective solution for your home.
Will my new wiring be fully tested and certified?
Yes. Every completed electrical installation is inspected and tested before handover. AWB Electrical Services Ltd provides the appropriate Electrical Installation Certificate where required and works to current BS 7671 Wiring Regulations.
