I am thinking of having my house rewired, how long will this take and will there be much mess?

A complete rewire on an average three bedroom house should take between two and four days, however the time it takes to rewire a property depends on a number of things such as:

  • Is the property empty
  • Is the property lived in and full of furniture etc
  • What is being rewired ie; the number of sockets and lights etc

Due to the experience Great North Electricals have we can completely minimise the disruption and disturbance to you and your property throughout the rewiring process.

We take great pride in the presentation of our work and fully understand the importance of treating your property as though it were our own.
