Electrical Rewiring

MBF Electrical can greatly reduce the disruption of rewiring your home. With careful planning and expert execution, your property can be fully rewired in days at a competitive cost, with a strong focus on safety and high-quality workmanship.

We achieve this through strategic planning, thorough organisation, experienced manpower, and hard work. Our team has rewired hundreds of homes across the south of England, successfully handling all building types and challenges.

We provide unrivalled service and offer alternative solutions to traditional home rewiring, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum efficiency.

What's involved in a rewire?

Rewiring a home is a major undertaking, involving work in every room to ensure your electrical system is safe, modern, and fully compliant. Most homes rely on cables hidden within walls, floors, and ceilings to power everything from lights and sockets to cookers and boilers. Over time, these cables can deteriorate, and older installations may no longer meet current safety standards. Faulty or outdated wiring can pose serious risks, including electric shocks and fire hazards.

At MBF Electrical, we rewire homes to eliminate these risks, bringing your electrical system up to modern standards and providing full certification for peace of mind.

Our Process
Before starting, we carefully prepare your home, ensuring the site is ready for the work ahead. Following our guidelines will help make the process as smooth as possible.

We then install new cabling throughout your property, routing it discreetly under floors, through attics, and within walls. Each cable is terminated at its designated outlet and organised into dedicated circuits for sockets, lighting, and other appliances. This process may involve lifting floorboards, adjusting carpets, and chasing walls to ensure a neat and safe installation.

With MBF Electrical, you can trust that your home’s rewiring will be carried out efficiently, safely, and with minimal disruption.

Common Electrical Rewiring Questions

What is a house rewire?
A house rewire involves replacing all the electrical wiring throughout your home and upgrading any associated equipment. This ensures that your lighting, appliances, and other electrical systems are safe, reliable, and fully up to modern standards.

When does a house need rewiring?
It’s generally recommended to rewire a home every 25 years. Over time, cable insulation can degrade, extra wiring may have been added, and accessories may wear out or come under stress, increasing the risk of faults.

Is deteriorating wiring really a problem?
Absolutely. Old or damaged wiring can pose a serious fire hazard. For example, aluminium cables are more prone to overheating, and breaks in ageing cables can cause arcing, which can ignite fires.

How do I know what type of wiring I have or if it needs replacing?
Just give us a call. Our team can discuss your wiring over the phone or even assess it from a photo of your consumer unit. With our experience, we can often identify the age and condition of your installation instantly.

How much will it cost?
Our rewiring projects start from £3,500. We aim to offer competitive pricing and are happy to discuss your project in detail. We may also offer a price match guarantee for comparable quotes, subject to terms.

How long will it take?
Our experienced team works efficiently to minimise disruption. For empty properties, a complete rewire can take as little as 3 days. If you’re living in the property and furniture cannot be moved, the process typically takes around a week.
