Fulwell, Southwick and Pallion are home to some of Sunderland's older terraced streets, many built well before modern wiring standards existed and since patched and extended piecemeal rather than properly renewed. It is common to find rubber or fabric coated cable still in place behind more recent additions, along with a fuse board that has long outgrown the demands of a modern household. A house rewire replaces the ageing cable, sockets and consumer unit throughout a property with a single, properly designed modern installation, rather than continuing to patch around problems as they appear.
We start with a free fixed written quote, one price agreed up front, then agree a room-by-room plan with you before any cable is lifted. Dust sheets are standard throughout, we make good any walls we disturb, and we hoover up and leave each room clean at the end of the day, which matters when you are living through the work in a Southwick or Pallion terrace. 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 everything is properly documented.
Older terrace expertise
We regularly rewire the Victorian and early-twentieth-century terraces of Fulwell, Southwick and Pallion, so we know what tends to be hiding behind the plaster.
Staged, room-by-room work
We agree a plan that keeps power and lighting on where possible, so daily life carries on as normally as it can during the rewire.
Spotless finish
Dust sheets, protected floors and a proper hoover at the end of each day, with full certification once the job is complete.
Your questions, answered
How do I know if my Pallion terrace needs a rewire?
Warm sockets, flickering lights, a fuse board that trips regularly and rubber or fabric coated cable are all signs worth having checked. We can inspect the installation and tell you honestly whether a rewire is needed.
How much does a house rewire cost in Sunderland?
A typical 3-bedroom rewire broadly costs in the region of £3,000 to £6,000 or more, depending on the size of the property and how much work is involved. We confirm one fixed written price before any work starts.
Can you rewire around us while we are living in the house?
In most cases yes. We work through a Fulwell or Southwick terrace room by room, protecting floors and keeping disruption as short and predictable as possible.
