LET'S BE HONEST
HOUSE REWIRE DISRUPTION — THE TRUTH
Every house rewire causes disruption. Here's what actually happens during a St Helens house rewire.
⚠️
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS
During working hours (8am–6pm): No power. Floorboards lifted in bedrooms and hallways. Walls chased for cable routes. This creates dust even with extraction. Furniture moved. One room out of action at a time.
Every evening: Lights, kettle, TV, heating all work overnight. You can sleep in the house. Bedrooms are dusty during work but liveable at night. We hoover daily. Rubbish cleared. Dust sheets down.
> Power back on 6pm every evening
> Daily cleanup — not left as a building site
> 2–4 days of disruption vs £500+ hotels
ADVICE
If you can stay with family for 3 days, do it, it's easier. If you're staying, expect takeaways and microwave meals. Most people DO stay because hotels cost more than it's worth for 3 days. Kids and pets make it harder, plan around them.
GET THIS RIGHT FIRST TIME
KITCHEN PLANNING BEFORE YOUR ST HELENS REWIRE
The kitchen is the most important room in any house rewire. After 80+ rewires across St Helens, the number one regret is not planning kitchen sockets properly.
KEEPING EXISTING KITCHEN?
> Enough sockets above the worktop?
> USB charging socket for phones?
> Space for kettle, toaster AND coffee machine?
> Want spotlights instead of single light?
THINGS PEOPLE FORGET
-
Isolation switching for appliances
-
Extra under-cabinet lighting
PLANNING NEW KITCHEN?
> Where will the cooker be positioned?
> Where does the fridge-freezer go?
> Having an island? You'll need floor sockets
> Induction hob? Needs isolation

COMMON QUESTIONS
HOUSE REWIRE QUESTIONS ST HELENS
Straight answers to what St Helens homeowners ask most about house rewiring.
TIMELINE
01
How long does a house rewire take?
Honest answer:
A house rewire in St Helens typically takes
2-bed: 2–3 days.
3-bed: 3–4 days.
4-bed: 4–5 days.
Stay in your home:
Most clients remain in their property during the rewiring process. We work efficiently during standard hours and make sure you have essential power each evening.
ASSESSMENT
02
How do I know if my property needs rewiring?
Properties over 25 years old should be assessed for these critical warning signs
-
Fuse box with pull-out fuses
-
Sockets on skirting boards
-
Frequent circuit tripping
-
Insufficient socket outlets
PROCESS
03
How messy is a house rewire?
Honest answer:
There will be some disruption, but we employ simple methods to minimise inconvenience.
What happens:
Selective floorboard lifting, wall chasing for cable routes, and temporary power limitations during working hours.
The outcome: A completely modernised electrical system with outlets and switches positioned exactly where you need them, bringing your property up to current safety standards.
LIVING ARRANGEMENTS
04
Can I stay in my home during the rewire?
Honest answer:
Yes, most of our St Helens customers do. If you can stay with family for 3 days, it's easier, but not essential.
What happens:
No power 8am–6pm. Full power restored every evening. Rooms out of action one at a time. Daily cleanup.
The outcome: You can sleep in your St Helens home and use power overnight. Expect takeaways and microwave meals during the work days.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
05
Does a rewire include a new fuse box?
Honest answer:
Yes, always. 18th Edition consumer unit with RCD and surge protection is included in every rewire.
What happens:
Old fuse box removed. New consumer unit installed with modern circuit breakers and safety protection. All work complies with Part P Building Regulations.
The outcome: No extra charge for the consumer unit. It's part of the fixed price quoted at survey.
VALUE
06
Is it worth rewiring before selling?
Honest answer:
Almost always yes. Buyers request EICRs and old wiring in St Helens' pre-1970s housing often fails.
What happens:
Failed EICR gives buyers leverage to reduce their offer by more than the rewire would have cost you.
The outcome: A rewired house with fresh certificate sells faster and for more. Buyers have one less thing to negotiate on.
