The Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Peterborough's older quarters are handsome, characterful homes, and many are exactly the ones due a rewire. Rubber or fabric-sheathed cable, a fuse box full of rewireable fuses or a scatter of poorly added sockets over the years all point to wiring that has done its time. A rewire is the biggest electrical job a house needs, so it deserves proper planning rather than a rushed pull-through, especially in an older terrace where the layout matters.
We agree a room-by-room plan before a cable is lifted, protect your floors and furniture, chase the walls cleanly and make everything good afterwards. A modern consumer unit with a safety switch on every circuit is included, and the whole installation is tested to the 18th Edition wiring regulations before we hand back. You get a clear day-by-day schedule and one fixed price in writing up front. We are City and Guilds qualified with 30 years of experience.

Your questions, answered
Does my period Peterborough terrace need a full rewire?
Not always. Sometimes a partial rewire is enough. We assess the installation first, often with an EICR, and recommend only what is genuinely needed, never more.
Can we live in the house during the rewire?
Usually yes. We work room by room and keep power on overnight wherever possible. For bigger jobs it can be quicker with the house empty, and we will advise honestly.
How long does a rewire take?
One to two weeks for a typical three-bedroom home, depending on size and whether it is occupied. You get a clear day-by-day schedule before we start.
