Rewiring your home can be especially important. It allows your electrics to remain safe, future-proof, and compliant with current regulations. A full rewire includes new cabling, new back boxes on sockets and switches and allows us to modernise your home by adding in some USB ports next to the sockets or some automated lighting. No matter what you need, we’re here to help. 

To kick things off, we’ll sit down with you and have a chat to go through everything you'd like to familiarise ourselves with your specific needs, however niche. The more specific, the better! This will ensure that when the job is done, that it’s done the way you want it with no hassle or problems. And that’s what matters most to us.
Once we fully understand what you want to do, we will begin our work! We’ll start by running cables and replacing or adding back boxes for any sockets or lightswitches. After that we can move on to fitting any new light fittings and faceplates on sockets and switches to make it look exactly how you imagined it. Our experienced team can help you with whether it’s a partial rewire to get a few sockets in the new extension, or a full rewire of your entire home. Tam and Co Ltd has your back. 

There’s no need to worry about your belongings too, we’ll make sure they are safe, sound and dust-free by keeping them covered whilst we’re working. We’ll also stay extremely diligent and mindful of your possessions as to make sure they remain undamaged. 

Why would you need to rewire your home?

There are plenty of reasons for that: 

• To ensure you that your electrics are not only up to scratch but also compliant with current regulations. 
• To increase the value of your home if you’re planning on selling. 
• Adding extra sockets in new locations.
• To change it up a bit and get some new lighting fixtures, and fittings. Maybe even move a socket or a light switch. 
• To give you some peace of mind knowing that your home is safer. 
• To replace old, brittle cables.
• To replace cables without an earth wire inside of the cable (pre 1966).

How often would you need to rewire?

There’s not a set-in stone frequency for rewiring your home. A full rewire on a house should be done roughly every 30 years.
Any of the following signs can suggest that your house needs rewiring: 

• Repeatedly blown fuses. 
• Scorched, discoloured, or hanging sockets and/or switches. 
• Not enough sockets in the property. 
• Wooden backboxes.
• Cloth insulated cables.
• Electric shocks. 

How long does it take to rewire your home?

To rewire your home, it can take anywhere between 5 to 10 days depending on the size and gravity of the project at hand. Larger homes with more rooms can take a little bit extra, but shorter projects can take only about 2 or 3 days. It really depends on what needs to be done!
