Targeted Rewiring for Every Project

Our partial rewire services allow us to focus on specific areas of your home for effective upgrades. Whether you want to add extra sockets to your kitchen or install smart lighting for convenience throughout your house, our residential electricians can carry out these modifications.

1

Kitchen & Utility Room Overhauls

The modern kitchen is a power-hungry environment. Older circuits were never designed for the combined load of an induction hob, an air fryer, a boiling-water tap, and a wine cooler, often requiring wiring upgrades.

  • Appliance-Specific Circuits: We install dedicated 6mm or 10mm cabling for high-load appliances to prevent nuisance tripping.

  • Smart Sockets: Integrated USB-C charging points and pop-up island sockets for clean worktops.

  • Zoned Lighting: Create a "mood" with dimmable LEDs, smart lighting installations, and under-cabinet task lighting that makes your new kitchen pop.

2

Extension & Loft Conversion 'First & Second Fix'

Building a rear extension or converting your loft? We work alongside your builders to ensure the electrical infrastructure is seamless.

  • First Fix: Robust routing of cables while the "shell" is open, including data cabling (Cat6) for home offices.

  • Second Fix: Precision installation of faceplates, smoke detectors, and thermostats once the plastering is dry.

  • Seamless Integration: We ensure your existing consumer unit can handle the additional load, or we install a secondary "sub-board" specifically for the new area.

Safety-First Consumer Unit Upgrades

If your fuse box still has rewirable fuses or a plastic casing, it’s a fire risk. Partial rewiring is the perfect time to upgrade to an Amendment 3-compliant metal consumer unit.

  • RCD & SPD Protection: Our residential electricians include Surge Protection Devices (SPD) to protect your expensive electronics from power spikes—a standard requirement in modern wiring.

Why 'Partial' is Often the Smarter Choice

For many homes in Oldham and Salford, a full rewire isn't financially viable or necessary. A partial rewire allows you to:

  • Focus Your Budget: Spend your money on the rooms you actually use every day.

  • Staged Upgrades: Wire the kitchen this year, the lounge next year—we provide the certification for each stage.

  • Maintain Decor: We use advanced tracking tools to minimise damage to original Victorian coving or plasterwork common in Greater Manchester homes.

Local Expertise: From the Quays to Chadderton

We don't just work here; we know the specific challenges of local housing.

  • Victorian Terraces (Oldham/Salford): We are experts at navigating the narrow floor voids and solid brick walls of traditional Northern homes.

  • Modern Apartments (Salford Quays): We understand the specific fire safety and "contained" wiring requirements of high-rise living.

The "Is My Wiring Safe?" FAQ

Can I just add new sockets to my old wiring?

It depends. We first test the "earth loop impedance". If the old cables are degraded (such as old rubber VIR cables), adding new sockets can pose a fire risk. We’ll always give you the honest truth throughout the wiring upgrade process.

Will I get a certificate for a kitchen rewire?

Yes. Any rewiring work involving new circuits or "special locations" (kitchens/bathrooms) requires a Part P Compliance Certificate. We handle all the notifications to local building control for you.

How do I know if I need full or partial rewiring?

The only way to be sure is an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report). We offer these from £180, and if you choose us for the rewire, we often credit the cost of the test back to your final bill.

Don’t Risk Your Renovation on "Cheap" Electrics
