What Is a Full House Rewire?

A full domestic house rewire involves replacing all the existing wiring, sockets, switches, and fuse boards throughout a home. Over time, electrical installations degrade. Old cables become brittle, insulation can perish, and outdated components can become dangerous, posing risks such as electric shock, fire, or inefficient energy usage. In short, it means that your home isn't up to safety standards.

In short, it means that your home isn’t up to safety standards.

Rewiring ensures your Carlisle home’s electrical infrastructure is:

  • Safe and compliant with UK standards
  • Ready for modern appliances and future technologies
  • Suitable for smart home integration, EV chargers, and energy-efficient upgrades

Think of it this way: you wouldn’t rely on 30-year-old brakes in your car, so why risk outdated wiring hidden behind your walls?

What Does a Full House Rewire Involve?

A full whole home rewiring project is large-scale, but with DRW on your side, it’s straightforward. Here’s our process:

1. Survey and Planning

We inspect your existing system and plan sockets, lighting, and circuits tailored to your lifestyle.

2. Removing Old Wiring

Outdated wiring is carefully stripped, with minimal disruption.

3. Installing New Wiring

We fit modern cables, sockets, lighting points, and consumer units, preparing your home for the future.

4. Testing and Certification

Everything is rigorously tested to UK safety standards, and you’ll receive full certification.

5. Aftercare

We tidy up, and if needed, arrange plastering or redecoration. Our electrical rewiring services don’t end when the job is finished – our Carlisle team is always a call away.
