Jesmond and Heaton are full of handsome Victorian terraces, many still running on wiring that has been patched and extended over generations rather than properly renewed. With around four in ten Jesmond residents being students, a lot of these terraces have been through multiple lets and multiple small changes, each one adding to the confusion rather than solving it. A house rewire replaces the ageing cable, sockets and consumer unit throughout a property with a properly designed modern installation, sorting out decades of piecemeal changes in one job rather than patching around them indefinitely.
We start every rewire with a free fixed written quote, one price agreed up front, then plan the work room by room with you before any cable is lifted. Dust sheets go down as standard, we make good the walls we disturb, and each room is left clean at the end of the day, which matters in a terrace where you are likely still living through the work. As a NAPIT registered, City & Guilds qualified firm with 14 years' experience, we work to the 18th Edition wiring regulations and certify the finished installation, notifying it to Building Control so your paperwork is properly in order.
Victorian terrace experience
We regularly rewire the older terraces of Jesmond and Heaton, so we understand the layered wiring and period features that need careful handling.
Room-by-room planning
We agree a stage-by-stage plan so you retain power and lighting where possible, useful in a terrace where you are living through the work.
Clean and certified
Dust sheets protect your home throughout, and we certify the completed rewire and notify it to Building Control on your behalf.
Your questions, answered
How do I know if my Jesmond terrace needs a rewire?
Warm or discoloured sockets, flickering lights, an old fuse board that trips often, and rubber or fabric coated cable are all signs worth having checked. We can inspect the installation and give you an honest view.
How much does a house rewire cost in Newcastle?
A typical rewire for a 3-bedroom terrace broadly costs in the region of £3,000 to £6,000 or more, depending on the size of the property and the extent of work needed. We confirm one fixed written price before any work starts.
Can we still live in the house during a Heaton rewire?
In most cases yes. We work room by room to keep power on where we can, and if you are letting the property out we plan the timing around any tenancy changeover to minimise disruption.
