Electrical Rewire for Homes and Businesses

The electrical system is the hidden backbone to all properties regardless of their use. Over time, wiring naturally degrades, standards change, and electrical demands increase. That’s when a rewire becomes essential.

Whether you’re a homeowner upgrading an older property, or a business ensuring compliance and efficiency, our team carries out complete and partial rewires with minimal disruption and maximum safety.

What Is a Rewire?

A rewire involves replacing some or all of the fixed electrical wiring, sockets, switches, and consumer units within a property. It ensures that the installation meets current UK safety standards (BS 7671) and can safely handle modern energy demands.

Domestic vs. Commercial Rewires

  • Domestic rewires focus on homes of all sizes — replacing outdated wiring, adding safer consumer units, and improving socket and lighting layouts to suit modern living.
  • Commercial & industrial rewires involve larger, more complex systems. Shops, workshops, offices, warehouses, and factories all have heavier loads and compliance requirements. These projects are carefully phased to keep disruption to a minimum while ensuring safety and future capacity.

Domestic and Commercial Rewire Information

How Do I Know If I Need a Rewire?

Signs that your property may require a rewire include:

  • Frequent tripping of breakers or blowing fuses.

  • Flickering or dimming lights when appliances run.

  • Sockets or switches that are warm, discoloured, or buzzing.

  • Electrical shocks or tingles when touching plugs or switches.

  • Wiring that looks old (rubber, lead, or fabric-insulated cables).

  • Your property is over 25–30 years old and hasn’t had electrical upgrades.

  • Renovations, extensions, or new high-demand appliances (EV chargers, modern kitchens, machinery) are planned.

Yes. Once complete, your electrician provides full testing, inspection, and an Electrical Installation Certificate proving compliance with UK wiring regulations.
Costs depend on property size, layout, number of circuits, and complexity. At Nulectrics we give estimates for both Domestic, commercial and industrial rewires after a site survey.
Yes, rewiring involves lifting floorboards, chasing walls, and creating dust. A professional team will work efficiently, protect your property, and keep disruption as low as possible.
It’s possible, but not always comfortable. Power will be off for periods, and there may be significant mess. Many clients choose to vacate during the main works if possible.
Not necessarily. Work can be phased or scheduled outside working hours to keep operations running while ensuring safety. It’s all in the planning!

The service from Nulectrics is always exceptional. The electricians arrive promptly at the designated time, the work is to the highest standard and they are extremely professional and friendly. No job is too small and their charges are very reasonable.
Having discovered this company a couple of years ago, I wouldn't go anywhere else and would happily recommend them to anyone.

I do hope that you are well and i look forward to helping you in the future should it be required. Many thanks, Aj

Outstanding… The attention to detail, the care, and the quality of work exceeds all standards. AJ and his team were responsive, answered questions and made recommendations, and did such a great job of installing our EV charger.

All were really friendly, polite, and cared about the job they did. The finished work was spot on, and we are so happy with what they achieved. It looks great, works well, and is exactly what we needed. For a great price too.

Highly recommend AJ and the team, and will be using them again in the future.
Response from the owner:Max, thank you so much for this. It has genuinely been a pleasure working with you on this one. We do think installations need to show a degree of aesthetics to the work to then show the care that has been taken. We will be looking forward to the next time you require us and i'm sure many more laughs to follow also. Aj @ Nulectrics

AJ was brilliant, he helped me over the phone to get the electric back on after losing it when my vacuum cleaner blew up! He was very patient with me as we tried various things but eventually got it back on! And there was no charge.Would definitely recommend Nulectics, excellent service.
Response from the owner:Hello Sue, I am always open to helping people over the phone if they are willing to do some work their end without charging them. It just means that you are better equipped to doing some self diagnoses before getting an electrician out on an emergency. So well done Sue for sorting this out!! We are always here if or when you need us in the future. Many thanks, Aj @ Nulectrics
