Full and Partial Rewires

With charming detail and character-filled rooms, period properties are wonderfully rewarding homes. But while some original features are welcome in older houses, antique wiring can be downright dangerous. Did you know that faulty electrical wiring is responsible for half of all accidental house fires and at least 1 person dies from an electrical accident every day in the UK? If your home has not been professionally rewired in the past 25 years it will not comply with current safety regulations and must be upgraded. First 4 Electrical have over 15 years of experience in full house rewires throughout Newport, can provide competitive quotes and are happy to schedule work to suit you.

Call us to arrange a site visit, where we will professionally assess the condition of your current wiring and provide you with cost and time estimates. Once you’re happy for us to undertake the work, we’ll arrange a project schedule to suit you. All electric cabling will be replaced, and a new metal clad consumer unit will be installed in accordance with Amendment 3 of BS 7671:2008. During the rewire, we’ll need access to all switches and sockets in the property. While we aim to disrupt your living space as little as possible, rewiring does involve underfloor and in-wall access and so it is much better to arrange a rewire before beginning any decorating work when planning a home renovation. We’ll design and implement the new circuit to suit your requirements, fitting faceplates sympathetic to the character of your new home.
