Partial Rewire North London

The honest answer is: get an EICR. The report identifies which circuits are unsafe or non-compliant, coded C1, C2 or C3. If only a few circuits are flagged, a partial rewire is the right call — and we'll tell you so even though a full rewire would be more lucrative for us. If most circuits fail, or if the cabling is pre-1970s rubber/lead-sheathed throughout, then a full house rewire is genuinely required. We won't recommend one if a partial will solve it.

Yes — if a surveyor has flagged specific electrical issues, a partial rewire of the affected circuits followed by an updated satisfactory EICR is typically all that's needed. We issue a Minor Works Certificate or full Electrical Installation Certificate for the rewired circuits, plus a fresh EICR for the whole installation. We can liaise with your conveyancer on the specific documentation required.

Single-circuit partials start from £950. Kitchen-only partials from £1,500. Multi-circuit jobs (half house, ground floor, all bedrooms) typically £1,800–£3,200. Compare that to a full house rewire from £4,500. All prices include materials, labour, testing, certification and Part P notification. For a fuller breakdown see our House Rewire Cost Guide.

A single-circuit rewire typically takes 1–4 hours of focused work, completed in a single day. A kitchen-only partial takes 1–2 days coordinated around your kitchen fitter. A multi-circuit partial (half house, EICR remedials with multiple C2 codes) takes 2–3 days. We give you a realistic timeline at the survey before any work is booked.

Yes — unlike a full rewire, a partial only affects the circuits being replaced. The rest of the property stays powered throughout. We schedule any planned outages in advance — usually a few hours at most — and almost always restore power the same day. For landlords, tenants can normally remain in occupation throughout.

Yes — this is the most common partial rewire we do. If your EICR has C1 or C2 coded circuits, we work directly from the schedule of items, replace cable and accessories on the flagged circuits only, then re-test and re-issue a satisfactory EICR. C3 codes are recommendations rather than legal requirements; we quote those separately if you want to address them in the same visit. If this is for a house sale and time is tight, see Pre-Sale EICR & Rewiring — same scope, conveyancing-speed turnaround.

Some plaster making-good is normal where new cable has been chased into walls. We minimise this by routing through floor voids, lofts and existing chases wherever possible — on single-circuit jobs we often manage with no plaster damage at all. Where chasing is unavoidable, we patch with bonding plaster ready for your decorator. We don't quote skimming or paint — that's the decorator's trade, not ours.

Yes — a floor-by-floor rewire is one of the most common partial rewire scenarios. We replace all circuits on the target floor, leaving the rest of the installation untouched. It's a popular phased renovation strategy: rewire upstairs while you live downstairs, then swap. Each phase issued with its own Minor Works or Electrical Installation Certificate.

C1 means danger present — requires immediate action, often the same day. C2 means potentially dangerous — requires urgent remediation to make the installation satisfactory. C3 is a recommendation, not a legal requirement, so an EICR can still be coded satisfactory with C3 items present. Our partial rewires target C1 and C2 items as priority. C3 items are quoted separately if you'd like them addressed.

Yes — we issue a Minor Works Certificate for single-circuit work or a full Electrical Installation Certificate for multi-circuit partials. All notifiable work is registered with Building Control under Part P at no extra cost. We can also carry out a follow-up EICR for the whole installation at the same visit if your mortgage lender or letting agent requires it.
