We have the tools and experience in which to keep the mess and disruption to a minimum being all chasing carried out at the start to allow time for the dust to settle, the laying of dust sheets, specialised dust extraction equipment and angle grinders.

    Process involved in a home Rewire

    When rewiring a home, people often question How messy is a rewire? The reason for this is, is that they may not fully comprehend the process that Thames Valley Electricians will go through and therefore doubt the extent. From an initial assessment of the existing wiring in order to identify any issues the next step is planning the location for all your lights, switches, sockets and any other components you may require. After this the mess and disruption can commence with old wiring being removed including those behind walls etc. Once the dust has settled we can then look to install your new cabling including back boxes and switches followed by a complete test of the system to make certain that is working as it should and complying with all regulations. Once all works have been completed you will of course be provided with all relevant documentation and certification. 

    Mess and disruption caused by a Rewire

    We make no secret of the fact that a home Rewire can be messy and disruptive and here’s why. The process not only causes a lot of dust but by cutting into walls and ceilings, but they may also require replastering and carpets being lifted too. 

    Furniture may have to be shifted around and even some of your belongings packed away. Due to the nature of the service that Thames Valley Electricians provide your Wokingham home with you may also experience limited power.
