The rewiring of your property usually takes several days to complete, depending on the size and number of rooms. So, you should really plan out this upgrade in advance and if applicable, vacate the property so that the electrician can work faster and more efficiently.
There are two main stages when it comes to rewiring a house. During the first one, all existing wires, sockets and switches are removed. To do this, some disruption will be inevitable, as the experts will need to lift floorboards, access wires and cables behind walls and ceilings, etc. Note that furnishing and carpets are best removed before this stage starts. Then, the new wiring will be placed, as well as all the back boxes for sockets and light switches will be carefully fitted. The electricians will also test the circuit and fuse box, which will be then rewired and connected. Note that the professionals can replace your consumer box if needed. All new wiring will be tested for its safety, as well.
The second stage is in effect connecting all the electrical fittings like sockets, light fixtures and switches, as well as safety detectors. Once all is connected, the experts will test each electrical fitting to make sure that it is safe and works properly.
Finally, you’ll be given an electrical rewiring certificate, in compliance with all current legislation and regulations.
