A rewire is disruptive, so it should be done once and done properly. Our electricians rewire to the current edition of BS 7671, fit a new consumer unit and issue an Electrical Installation Certificate.
Then our plasterers make good the chases, so you are not left looking for someone else to fix the walls.
A lot of Newcastle housing is Tyneside flats in Heaton, Fenham, Benwell and Arthur's Hill. Upstairs and downstairs flats usually have separate supplies and meters, but cables can share the same floor void, so we trace circuits carefully and work with the neighbour where needed.
Older houses in Jesmond, Gosforth and Heaton can still have rubber or fabric-insulated cable, no earthing to pipework and fuse boxes with no RCD protection. An EICR will tell you whether you need a full or part rewire.
We work across Newcastle from our Durham and Sunderland bases, with vans on Tyneside every day. Planning and building control are handled by Newcastle City Council.
