Melbourne CBD & Surrounding
24/7 Emergency Electrician
At Local Electricians Melbourne, we provide a full rewiring service to homeowners across the UK, covering everything from initial survey to the safe installation of new wiring.
If a property hasn’t been rewired in the last 25-30 years, it will probably need upgrading, whether partially or fully, to ensure it complies with current safety standards. A full or partial rewire might also be required if you’re planning major renovation work that would be defined as a ‘material alteration’. This will usually include an upgrade of the fuse board.
In the case of room extensions and attic or garage conversions, existing wiring in the rooms will also need to be improved to ensure it can safely carry additional loads; is earthed according to current requirements; and has satisfactory cross bonding. If you’re remodeling or extending, the wiring in the rest of your property won’t need upgrading unless required by the Building Regulations’ energy efficient requirements. Here’s a summary of what we do when rewiring a home:
The cost of rewiring a house tends to vary depending on the size of the job and the property. A full rewire of a four-bedroom house will typically cost more than it would for a two-bed property, for example. Similarly, rewiring a kitchen extension wouldn’t usually demand as high a price as a full property rewire. We offer a fixed price for full and partial rewires, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying upfront. Working with a professional, accredited electrician means you won’t be hit with any nasty surprises once the work is completed, and if any additional work is required, we’ll always provide a quote first.
If your house needs rewiring, or you wish to enquire about any other upgrades or home improvements, feel free to give us a call on 0474704726. We’re available 24/7 for all electrical enquiries.
