Define full versus partial rewire extent first

A rewire brief should state whether whole-property circuits, selected rooms or a board-led upgrade is intended. Partial and full programmes have different making-good, occupation and certification needs. Photographs of the consumer unit and affected rooms guide the next written step. Full and partial rewires are electrical construction programmes with certification intent stated for the accepted job. Board-only upgrades, lighting redesign and appliance circuits are not automatic inclusions unless the written schedule says so. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Confirm board, earthing and bonding evidence

Existing board condition, earthing and main bonding affect whether a board upgrade alone is enough or whether wider circuit work is required. Unknown history on period stock should be treated as a survey input, not a fixed product package. Full and partial rewires are electrical construction programmes with certification intent stated for the accepted job. Board-only upgrades, lighting redesign and appliance circuits are not automatic inclusions unless the written schedule says so. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Plan occupation, protection and making-good

Rewire programmes change when households stay in occupation. Room sequencing, dust control and finish reinstatement should be stated. Making-good is not automatic unless included in the written package. Full and partial rewires are electrical construction programmes with certification intent stated for the accepted job. Board-only upgrades, lighting redesign and appliance circuits are not automatic inclusions unless the written schedule says so. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Keep qualifications and certification on the accepted job

Qualifications, notification and certification routes are confirmed for the accepted electrical work. This hub does not invent a company accreditation badge or a Building Control outcome from the postcode. Full and partial rewires are electrical construction programmes with certification intent stated for the accepted job. Board-only upgrades, lighting redesign and appliance circuits are not automatic inclusions unless the written schedule says so. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Coordinate freeholder and common-intake constraints

Flats may share intake positions and common parts. Freeholder working hours and access rules should be attached when held. Common parts work is not assumed from the neighbourhood name. Full and partial rewires are electrical construction programmes with certification intent stated for the accepted job. Board-only upgrades, lighting redesign and appliance circuits are not automatic inclusions unless the written schedule says so. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Separate rewire from appliance or lighting-only packages

Lighting redesign, smart controls and appliance circuits can sit inside a rewire or be scoped as additions. Mixing unpriced extras into a rewire day creates incomplete handover certificates. Full and partial rewires are electrical construction programmes with certification intent stated for the accepted job. Board-only upgrades, lighting redesign and appliance circuits are not automatic inclusions unless the written schedule says so. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Programme after survey evidence is clear

Submitting a brief is not a booking. Survey findings can change cable routes and finish assumptions. Capacity and programme are confirmed after the property facts are reviewed. Full and partial rewires are electrical construction programmes with certification intent stated for the accepted job. Board-only upgrades, lighting redesign and appliance circuits are not automatic inclusions unless the written schedule says so. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Compare rewire proposals by circuits and handover documents

A comparable proposal lists rooms, board works, certification intent, making-good, protection and exclusions. Handover should leave certificates and a clear snagging position for the accepted electrical package. Full and partial rewires are electrical construction programmes with certification intent stated for the accepted job. Board-only upgrades, lighting redesign and appliance circuits are not automatic inclusions unless the written schedule says so. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I ask for a rewiring?▼
Use the online form or call 020 7101 3168. Include the postcode, a clear description of the issue or project, photographs where helpful, and access notes. Submission starts a review — it is not a confirmed booking.
Where can I ask for a rewiring?▼
You may submit for Hampstead, North West London and wider London postcodes. Dedicated pages currently focus on neighbourhoods such as Hampstead, Hampstead Village, Belsize Park, St John's Wood and West Hampstead, with other postcodes reviewed case by case. Coverage and timing are confirmed after the location and scope have been reviewed — not solely because an area page exists.
Who carries out the work?▼
Accepted work goes to Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance. We name the skill, registration and insurance the job needs before work starts.
How is the price agreed?▼
The price depends on access, the condition of the building, materials, programme and any approvals needed. Where we can quote, the written document states inclusions, assumptions, exclusions and payment terms. Smaller completed jobs are paid by bank transfer after completion; larger works use the deposit and final terms in the accepted quote.
Do I need a visit before you can quote?▼
Not always. Clear photographs and a written description can be enough for straightforward scopes. Complex fabric, structural openings, concealed services or unclear access usually need a visit before a safe price basis can be written.
What should I send about a flat or a managed building?▼
For flats and mansion blocks, attach any licence-to-alter, working-hours note, riser plan or managing-agent rules you already hold. Lift size, porter rules and communal corridor protection often affect how rewiring attendance is programmed. Freeholder approval is never invented from a neighbourhood page alone — those facts come from the property documents and the accepted written scope.
Does this work need Building Control?▼
Not always. Whether approval or a competent-person route is needed depends on the defined work and property. Openings, structural alterations, drainage changes and certain electrical or heating works are more likely to need one of those routes. We flag known compliance questions in triage. A service hub does not predict a notification outcome from a neighbourhood page. Attach any existing notice or completion certificate you hold.
Can I submit a rewiring brief in London?▼
Yes. Send the postcode and job details for review. Submission is not a booking; we confirm whether the brief fits, current availability and the next step.
How is rewiring work priced?▼
The price depends on the accepted scope, access, timing, materials and any assessment required. We confirm a written quote or other agreed price basis before planned work starts.

People Also Ask About Rewiring

Do I need planning permission to rewire a house?▼

Not usually. The Planning Portal states that planning permission is not generally required for installing or replacing electrical circuits, but the work must conform to Approved Document P. It also advises anyone living in a listed building to contact their local planning authority before carrying out any work. Whether a particular address is listed or otherwise designated has to be confirmed on the council's own records.

Source: Planning Portal, Common projects: Electrics

Does an old house legally have to be rewired to current standards?▼

No. In England, Approved Document P, paragraph 1.6, states that when an existing electrical installation is extended or altered only the new work must meet current standards, and there is no obligation to upgrade the rest. The exceptions are where the new work would adversely affect the safety of the existing installation, or where the existing installation is in such a state that the new work cannot be operated safely.

Source: Approved Document P: Electrical safety – Dwellings, 2013 edition, paragraphs 1.6–1.7, GOV.UK

How often must a landlord have the electrics inspected in England?▼

At least every five years. Regulation 3 of the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector and Social Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 requires a private landlord to have every electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified person at intervals of no more than five years, to give each existing tenant a copy of the report within 28 days, and to complete any remedial work within 28 days.

Source: Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector and Social Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, regulation 3, legislation.gov.uk

Is rewiring a house notifiable under the Building Regulations?▼

Yes, in England. Regulation 12(6A) of the Building Regulations 2010 makes the installation of a new circuit notifiable, and a rewire creates new circuits throughout. Either the installer is registered with a competent person scheme and self-certifies the work, or a building notice or full plans application must be given to a building control body before work begins.

Source: The Building Regulations 2010, regulation 12(6A), legislation.gov.uk

What are the three ways electrical work can be certified under Part P?▼

Approved Document P sets out three procedures for notifiable electrical work in England: self-certification by an installer registered with a competent person scheme, third-party certification by a registered third-party certifier, or certification by a building control body. Where a building control body is used, the installer must notify it before work begins, and it decides what inspection and testing is needed.

Source: Approved Document P: Electrical safety – Dwellings, 2013 edition, paragraphs 3.1 and 3.8–3.9, GOV.UK

What certificates should I receive after a rewire?▼

Two documents, where a registered competent person does the work in England. Approved Document P says they should complete a BS 7671 electrical installation certificate for every job and give it to the person ordering the work. Within 30 days of completion, the installer or their registration body must also give the occupier a Building Regulations compliance certificate and notify the building control body.

Source: Approved Document P: Electrical safety – Dwellings, 2013 edition, paragraphs 3.3 and 3.4, GOV.UK

Which electrical work in a bathroom must be notified to building control?▼

In England, any addition or alteration to an existing circuit within a special location is notifiable under regulation 12(6A) of the Building Regulations 2010. Regulation 12(9) defines that space as extending 2.25 metres vertically from finished floor level and, where there is a bath tub or shower tray, 0.6 metres horizontally from its edge. Installing a new circuit anywhere is notifiable too.
