A rewire is a big job, but in many Newcastle homes it is the right one. The city is full of Victorian terraces and Tyneside flats in Heaton, Byker and Sandyford where the original wiring was never designed for modern living, and older family homes in Gosforth and Jesmond can hide cabling that is well past its safe life. Signs like a dated fuse box, cloth or rubber insulated cables, scorched sockets or lights that flicker all point to an installation that needs replacing rather than patching.
Our team plans the work around you to keep disruption manageable, and we are careful to protect floors, plaster and original features as we go, which matters in Newcastle's older housing stock. We talk you through the layout, sockets and lighting before we start, then set out one fixed price for your exact job, confirmed before any work starts. NAPIT registered with 26 years of experience across NE1 to NE7, we leave you with a safe, modern installation, a clearly labelled board and a home tidied properly when we finish.

Your questions, answered
How do I know if my house needs a full rewire?
Old rubber or cloth wiring, a dated fuse box, scorch marks, frequent trips or very few sockets all suggest it. We will inspect and tell you honestly whether a full rewire or just a partial one is needed.
Do I have to move out during a rewire?
Not always, though it depends on the size of the job. Many people stay put while we work room by room. We will talk through what is practical for your home and plan to keep at least some power on where we can.
How much mess does a rewire make?
There is some unavoidable disruption as cables run through walls and floors, but we protect your home, keep dust down and make good as we go. We leave the place clean and tidy when the work is complete.
