Worcester's older housing is characterful but often overdue a rewire. The Victorian and Edwardian homes around Barbourne and St John's, many with wiring that has been added to over decades, and the period properties near the Cathedral and Foregate Street commonly still carry rubber or fabric-insulated cabling, an old fuse box and too few sockets. A rewire is the biggest electrical job a house ever needs, so it deserves proper planning.
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, and taking real care around original features in older homes. Floors are protected, walls chased cleanly and everything made good afterwards. Every circuit is tested and certified before handover, with a clear day-by-day schedule up front so you always know what is happening.

Your questions, answered
How long does a rewire take on a Worcester house?
One to two weeks for a typical three-bedroom home, depending on size and whether you are living in it. Larger period properties can take longer, and you get a clear day-by-day schedule before we start.
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.
Can you rewire a converted flat?
Yes. We rewire flats and converted houses as well as whole properties, planning the work around the layout and any shared circuits so the job is done cleanly and certified on completion.
