A lot of Gloucester's housing is overdue a rewire. The Victorian and inter-war terraces around Kingsholm, Tredworth, Barton and Linden were built long before modern electrical demands, and many still carry rubber or fabric-insulated cabling, an old fuse box and nowhere near enough sockets. A rewire is the biggest electrical job a house ever needs, so it deserves proper planning rather than a rushed job.
We walk the property with you room by room before a single cable is lifted, agreeing exactly where every socket, switch and light should go. Floors and furniture are protected, walls chased cleanly and everything made good afterwards. Every circuit is tested and certified before handover, and you get a clear day-by-day schedule up front so you always know what is happening and when.

Your questions, answered
How long does a rewire take on a Gloucester terrace?
One to two weeks for a typical three-bedroom home, depending on size and whether you are living in it. You get a clear day-by-day schedule before we start so you can plan around it.
Can we live in the house during the rewire?
Usually yes. We work room by room and keep the power on overnight wherever possible. For bigger jobs it is sometimes quicker with the house empty, and we will tell you honestly which suits your home.
How do I know if my Gloucester home needs rewiring?
Common signs are a fuse box with rewireable fuses, fabric or rubber-coated cables, warm or loose sockets and too few sockets per room. An EICR will tell you for certain, and we will never recommend a rewire you do not need.
