Full Electrical Renovation Specialists London
Undergoing a full electrical renovation is a vital investment in the safety, efficiency, and future-readiness of your property. Modern homes demand significantly more power than in previous decades, meaning outdated systems often struggle under the load of contemporary appliances and smart home systems. Our certified electrical installation specialists deliver complete rewiring solutions tailored to the unique architectural needs of London apartments, townhouses, and period conversions.
A comprehensive house rewiring not only eliminates immediate hazards like faulty circuits and fire risks but also increases your property's value. We replace old consumer units, outdated cabling, and legacy accessories with energy-efficient components, smart lighting controls, and dedicated high-load circuits. By coordinating first-fix cabling with plastering and final decoration, we ensure a seamless renovation process from initial electrical design to final testing and NICEIC certification.

The installation phase of a full electrical upgrade is structured to minimize disruption to your home. First-fix wiring is typically installed behind walls, under floorboards, and through ceiling joists while other renovation tasks are underway. Conduits and flush metal back-boxes are chased into brickwork, ensuring that all power and data cables are securely concealed before plastering starts.
Once wall skimming and initial priming are completed, we initiate the second-fix phase. During this stage, our team installs modern switches, socket plates, designer light fittings, and the new metal consumer unit. Every circuit is then rigorously tested for insulation resistance, earth continuity, and polarity to verify compliance with British Standards (BS 7671) before issuing building control notifications.
Our Electrical Renovation Process
Site Audit & Designing
Our engineers conduct a thorough electrical installation condition report (EICR) to design a custom power and lighting layout tailored to your home.
First-Fix Cable Installation
We chase walls and route durable low-smoke halogen-free cabling through floorboards and joists to establish a reliable infrastructure.
Second-Fix & Testing
We install modern sockets, switch plates, light fittings, and consumer units, concluding with comprehensive testing and certification.
Frequently asked questions
Signs that your home requires a full electrical renovation include frequently tripping circuit breakers, flickering lights, outdated fuse boxes, old round-pin sockets, or green goo on wiring. Properties over 25-30 years old that have not been rewired typically require an upgrade to meet modern building control standards.
First-fix electrical works involve chasing walls, installing containment conduits, and routing new wiring and cables through floor joists and walls. Second-fix electrical works involve connecting the actual electrical accessories, such as fitting modern socket faceplates, switch plates, light fittings, consumer units, and mounting smart panels.
A standard 3-bedroom property typically takes about 1 to 2 weeks for a full electrical upgrade, depending on whether the home is occupied. If the property is empty, works can progress much faster as walls can be chased and carpets lifted without daily cleanups. We provide a clear schedule of works before commencing site activities.
Chasing walls to install flush-mounted conduits and cables will inevitably require making plaster cuts. While this does cause surface damage, we offer complete plastering, skimming, and painting refurbishment services to ensure your walls are restored to a flawless, premium finish once the second-fix installation is complete.
