Once you have decided to move forward with your Edinburgh home rewire project, you may have a few questions such as how long will your project take and what you can expect to happen. As experts in home rewires across the Edinburgh region, using one of our expert Edinburgh electrician’s will ensure that your job is completed in an efficient & budget conscious manner while minimising disruption wherever possible.
A full home rewire of your Edinburgh home will depend on the size & scope of the project as well as how many Edinburgh electricians are working on the job. You can expect the average home rewire to take anything between five to ten days but your expert Edinburgh electrician can advise on time scales when the project commences.
Once you have your timescales in place, you may be wondering exactly what work is involved? A full home rewire comprises of two project stages known as the first and second fix. To ensure that all the cables are concealed, the first fix takes place prior to any plastering work. Along with the installation of new cabling, the first fix will see your Edinburgh electrician fit the back area boxes for all the new switches and sockets required. By working with your Edinburgh electrician and designing a wiring plan for your project prior to work commencing, you can look to add any additional sockets, add modern heating control, automated lighting, speaker cablings and any other SMART tech you feel would help future proof your home against all the demands of modern life.
With all the first fix work in place, your Edinburgh electrician can move forward to the second fix of your home rewire project. This will see your expert electrician fitting your new consumer unit and sockets along with light fittings, switch plates, extractor fans and more. Once your Edinburgh electrician has completed a site survey they can advise but it may be possible to avoid a full home rewire and move forward with a partial rewire. Providing that the cabling is in good condition and able to carry additional electrical loads then it may be possible to upgrade your existing electrical framework with the addition of a new, modern consumer unit.
