A full house rewire is one of the most important upgrades you can make to an older property — improving safety, functionality, and even adding value. But many homeowners in Sleaford and across Lincolnshire worry about the disruption.
The good news? With careful planning and the right electrician, a rewire can be carried out smoothly and with minimal mess. At Quantum Electrical Services, we’ve completed hundreds of rewires and have refined the process to keep it as stress-free as possible.
Here’s how to prepare your home and your household for a rewire — and how we make it easier for you.
🗓️ 1. Plan the Timing
Rewires usually take 3–7 working days, depending on the size and complexity of your home. Choose a time that works for you — ideally when major renovations or decorating are also planned, so we can work before final finishes go on.
📦 2. Clear Key Areas
To help us work efficiently:
Move small furniture away from walls
Remove fragile items and valuables
Empty cupboards in areas where electrical points will be installed
We’ll handle furniture and carpet protection on arrival, so you don’t have to worry about damage.
🛠️ 3. Expect Some Disruption
Rewiring involves chasing walls, lifting floorboards, and replacing sockets and switches. But with the best dust extraction equipment on the market, we keep dust and debris to a minimum.
🧱 4. Decide on Your Electrical Layout
Before we start, think about:
Where you want extra sockets
Whether you’d like USB charging points
Placement of light switches
Future-proofing for EV chargers, home offices, or garden lighting
We’ll design your new system to suit your lifestyle.
🧹 5. Plan for Making Good
After wiring is installed, some plasterwork will be needed where chases have been cut. We can provide:
A professional plasterer to make good walls
An optional cleaning service so your home is spotless at the end
