When a partial rewire makes sense
A partial rewire suits homes where most of the wiring is in good condition but one area is older, damaged or no longer meets your needs. Common examples include an old kitchen circuit, a loft conversion, a damp-affected room or circuits extended badly in the past.

Checking the rest of the wiring
Before quoting, we test the existing installation to make sure the rest of the wiring is sound. New circuits must connect to a consumer unit with suitable protection and good earthing, so we check these too and tell you if anything else needs attention.

Cost compared with a full rewire
Because fewer rooms are affected, a partial rewire costs less and causes less disruption than a full house rewire. The price depends on how many circuits are replaced and how easy access is. If testing shows most of the wiring is old, a full rewire may be better value.
What to expect from a partial rewire
We start by testing your existing installation and agreeing exactly which rooms or circuits will be rewired. This makes it clear where the new work starts and stops, and what stays as it is. You then receive a free, no-obligation quote for the work.
We run new cables to the agreed area, fit new sockets, switches and fittings, and connect the circuits to your consumer unit. The new work is tested and certified, and if it's notifiable under Part P, we notify building control for you.

Partial rewire questions
Can I rewire just my kitchen in Manchester?
Yes. Kitchens are one of the most common partial rewires, as they need more sockets and dedicated circuits for cookers and appliances than older wiring allows. We plan the new circuits around your kitchen layout and can work alongside your kitchen fitter so everything is ready at the right stage.
How long does a partial rewire take in Manchester?
Most partial rewires take one to three days, depending on how many rooms are involved and whether floors and walls need opening up. A single kitchen or extension is often quicker. We confirm the expected timescale when we send your free quote, so you can plan ahead.
Will a partial rewire pass an EICR in Manchester?
The new circuits will be tested and certified, but an EICR looks at the whole installation. If other parts of the wiring are old or damaged, they may still be coded. That's why we test everything before quoting, so you know whether a partial rewire is enough.
Do I need a new consumer unit for a partial rewire in Manchester?
Not always. If your current board has RCD protection, spare ways and good earthing, the new circuits can usually connect to it. Older fuse boxes without RCDs often need replacing first, because new circuits need that protection. We'll tell you which applies after testing.
