House Rewiring in Co. Kildare
4 businesses offering house rewiring across Co. Kildare.
A full rewire replaces the cabling, sockets, switches and consumer unit throughout a property. It is disruptive work: floorboards lift, walls are chased for new cable runs, and the house is generally easier to rewire while empty or mid-renovation than while lived in.
Houses wired before the 1980s are the usual candidates, particularly those still on rubber or fabric-sheathed cable, fitted with a rewireable fuse board rather than MCBs and RCDs, or with too few sockets for how the house is actually used. Sockets that are warm to the touch, persistent tripping, or scorch marks are all reasons to have an installation assessed.
A rewire is notifiable work. It must be carried out by a registered electrical contractor, and you should receive a completion certificate at the end. Keep it: it matters for insurance and for any future sale. Cost is driven mainly by the number of rooms and circuits, the finish standard, and how much making good is included, so confirm whether plastering and redecoration are inside the quote or outside it.

Common questions
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Age is the strongest signal. Rubber or fabric-sheathed cable, an old rewireable fuse board rather than MCBs and RCDs, no earthing to lighting circuits, or frequent tripping all point that way. A registered electrician can carry out a condition report and tell you where you stand.
Can I live in the house during a rewire?
It is possible but unpleasant, since power will be off in sections and there will be dust and lifted floors throughout. Most people schedule a rewire alongside other renovation work or while the property is vacant.
Will I get a certificate?
You should. Rewiring is notifiable work, and a registered electrical contractor must issue a completion certificate. Keep it with your house documents, as insurers and buyers may ask for it.
