Electrician Rewiring Services

Undertaking a full or partial rewire in a property is a big job and one that should only be carried out by a registered electrician. Burgh Electrical Electricians are your leading Edinburgh NICEIC approved specialists.

When should an electrician carry out a rewire?

All electrical installations, over time, will deteriorate naturally as they are a working mechanism made up of various components and working systems.

For wiring systems more than 25 years old we would always recommend having the electrical system checked out at regular intervals.

This will help identify any faults or defects which could require improvement. It will also give you an idea of any work that might be required and potential cost if you are considering upgrading the electrical installation or remodeling it to include additional circuits.

A full rewire usually takes place when major building work such as an extension or conversion is being carried out – prior to any plastering or decoration.

Other occasions when a rewire might be necessary include;

  • After a flood or fire damage.

  • If electrical installation has become unsafe.

  • Installation of several new circuits.

  • Upgrade of building/property.

  • We can help – no job is too small.

What happens if something goes wrong?2020-04-16T19:16:56+00:00

All NICEIC registered businesses are covered by the Platinum Promise – a promise that protects you against all noncompliant installation work.
Should any work carried out by one of our Electricians be found not to comply with the Building Regulations or relevant installation standards, you can instruct the NICEIC promise to go back and carry out the work to the required standard.
The Platinum promise is valid for up to six years from the date of the completion of the original work and covers work up to a maximum of £25,000 for any one installation.

My property is quite old and I want to know if it needs a rewire?2020-04-16T19:08:53+00:00

Before ordering a full rewire it might be worth enquiring about a full inspection of the electrics beforehand from us.
You should contact your local NICEIC registered contractor like Burgh Electrical | Edinburgh Electricians.
Our Electricians can carry out an electrical inspection of the property (sometimes known as a periodic inspection).
Much like an MOT, this is an inspection of the current condition of an electrical installation in your home.
On completion of the inspection, you will receive an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) which details any damage, deterioration, defects, dangerous conditions and anything not in line with the present-day safety standard which might give rise to danger.

Why use an NICEC registered contractor?2020-04-16T19:13:07+00:00

Choosing an NICEIC registered contractor like Burgh Electrical is a householder and Landlords best way to ensure a safe job will be carried out.
Electricians registered with NICEIC are assessed on a regular basis to ensure high standards and our work is checked against the IET Wiring Regulations as well as other standards.

How long will a full rewire take?2020-04-16T19:13:49+00:00

A full rewire can take, on average up to between 5-10 days, depending on the size of the property.
The time taken depends on the number of contractors working and the exact scope of work involved.

I am considering a full rewire. What building regulations do I need to be aware of?2020-04-16T19:34:38+00:00

A full rewire has to be notified to the local building control department so that it meets the appropriate safety standards.
Don’t hesitate to speak to our Electricians with any work or upgrade queries about your wiring.
At Burgh Electricals Our Edinburgh Electricians comply with Part P of the building regulations and that the appropriate notification and certification will be taken care of once the work is completed.
A straightforward way of meeting the requirements is to use an NICEIC registered contractor.
We can self-certify the work and notify the local building control department on your behalf.
