Rewiring isn’t just about replacing old cables — it’s about making your home safer, more efficient, and ready for modern living. Whether you need a full rewire during a renovation, or a targeted update to an outdated circuit, FlickASwitch delivers expert workmanship that meets today’s safety standards and your everyday needs.

Why Rewire?

Old or faulty wiring can pose serious risks — including electric shocks, outages, and fire hazards. If your home still has fabric-insulated wiring, fuse boxes instead of modern consumer units, or sockets without earthing, it’s time for an upgrade.

A full or partial rewire ensures your property is:

  • Safe and compliant with the latest UK electrical regulations (BS 7671)

  • Ready to handle modern appliances, lighting, and smart systems

  • Efficient, reliable, and future-proof

What’s Included in a Rewire?

We tailor every rewire to your property, usage, and budget. Services typically include:

  • Removal of old or unsafe cabling

  • New wiring throughout key areas (or full property)

  • Upgraded sockets, switches, and lighting points

  • Installation of a new fuse board / consumer unit

  • Earth bonding for kitchens and bathrooms

  • Optional upgrades like USB sockets, LED lighting, or smart home systems

  • Full testing, inspection, and EICR certification

Full vs. Partial Rewire – What’s the Difference?

Full Rewire:

  • Ideal for major renovations, older properties, or unsafe existing systems

  • Complete overhaul of all circuits

  • Often done in two stages: first fix (wires) and second fix (fittings)

  • May involve lifting floorboards, channelling walls, and plaster repair

Partial Rewire:

  • Focused upgrade — e.g., kitchen electrics, a single floor, or unsafe circuits

  • More cost-effective if the rest of your wiring is up to standard

  • Can be done with minimal disruption and short lead times
