Home / Rewires Durham
Full and partial rewires across Durham by NICEIC approved electricians. Old, unsafe wiring brought up to standard, with minimal disruption and full certification.
This page is specifically about rewiring. For everything else electrical, our broad electrician in Durham page covers fuse boards, EICRs, sockets, lighting and EV chargers.
If your Durham home still has old rubber, fabric or aluminium wiring, a fuse board that trips, or it simply hasn't been touched in decades, a rewire isn't a luxury, it's a safety job. Many of the older terraced and stone properties around Durham, Gilesgate and the pit villages were wired long before modern standards, and old wiring is one of the leading causes of electrical fires.
Our NICEIC approved electricians carry out full and partial rewires across Durham, bringing the installation up to current BS 7671 standards, replacing the consumer unit, and issuing the certification you need. We plan the work to keep disruption down and leave the place tidy.
The people on your job work for ATKINSONS. One firm accountable for the lot.
A named Contracts Manager from first visit to final certificate.
Real people answer, day or night. Engineers dispatched, not job numbers logged.
In writing, in plain English. No surprises in the small print.
Tell us the work, the property, your timescale and budget through our quick form, and upload any plans or photos. Everything in one place from the start.
We review what you've sent and decide the best next step, whether that's pricing straight away or sorting drawings, planning or building control first.
Where it's needed, we come and look properly: access, structure, levels and anything affecting the cost. Your chance to ask questions before we quote.
A clear, transparent quote setting out what's included, assumed and excluded, with a payment structure. Confidence in what you're accepting, not a one-line price.
Once you're happy, we sort dates, materials, access and building control before anyone lifts a tool, so the job runs smoothly on site.
Our team arrives clear on the agreed scope, keeps the site tidy, communicates as we go and respects your home throughout.
It depends on the size and age of the property and whether it's a full or partial rewire. We give a fixed written quote after seeing the job, with no call-out charge for the visit.
A typical full rewire takes around five to ten days depending on the size of the property and whether it's occupied. We give a written timescale before starting.
Not usually, though it is disruptive. We phase the work room by room where possible and plan it to keep the home liveable, then leave it tidy.
Signs include old rubber or fabric-insulated wiring, a fuse board with rewireable fuses rather than breakers, frequent tripping, scorch marks or an out-of-date electrical report. An EICR will confirm the condition.
Yes. We're NICEIC approved, the rewire is brought up to current BS 7671 standards, notified under building regulations, and you get the certification.
Yes, a modern consumer unit with RCD protection is part of a rewire, and we can replace a fuse board on its own if that's all that's needed.
