BLACKPOOL REWIRE
Is it best to rewire your property whilst it is empty?
The other property we rewired after Christmas was a three bedroomed house rewire in Blackpool.
Our clients had purchased this property just before the Christmas break, we provided a full written quotation for this rewire with a full breakdown of the work to be carried out.
This property was a very straight forward project as the house was empty with no carpets down. The property needed a full rewire to all circuits including rewiring the lighting, sockets, kitchen, and oven supplies.
As this property was empty, The rewiring took four days to complete which included the issuing of electrical certificates and a Part P building control sign off certificate. It is always best where possible to rewire an empty property. To see how long a lived in rewire can take read this project https://www.fcrelectrical.co.uk/bungalow-rewire-in-fleetwood/?preview_id=11035&preview_nonce=5293693480&preview=true&_thumbnail_id=11037

Now that the electrics have been rewired our clients are able to carry on with the property renovations which will include a new kitchen, plastering, decorating, an extension and possible loft conversion. As the property is being extended, we included the installation of smoke detectors which will satisfy building control when the extension works are carried out and will limit the need to lift the carpets and floors throughout the house limiting disruption.
If you are purchasing a new property and know that the house needs a full rewire, it is always best to make the rewiring the first project on your list. If you do the rewiring first it will allow you to redecorate and renovate the property with the knowledge that the walls will not need chasing or damaging in the future, it can be costly if you do not do this and need to chase bathroom tiles or chase wallpapered walls once you have moved in.
