Folkestone has some wonderful housing stock, from the grand villas around the Leas and the characterful streets of the Old High Street and Creative Quarter to the terraces near the harbour and the homes in Cheriton and Sandgate. Many of these Victorian and Edwardian properties are still on their original or part updated wiring, with rubber or fabric coated cable, too few sockets and consumer units that are well past their best. Flickering lights, warm sockets or a board that trips are all signs the installation may need attention.
We begin every rewire with a free fixed written quote, giving you one clear price up front with nothing hidden. Before any cable is lifted we agree a room-by-room plan with you, then we get to work with dust sheets down as standard, walls made good and rooms left clean at the end of each day. We are NAPIT registered and City and Guilds qualified, work to the 18th Edition, and we certify the finished installation and notify it to Building Control so your paperwork is complete.
Villas to harbour terraces
From large Leas villas to compact harbour terraces, we plan each rewire around the layout and age of your Folkestone home.
More sockets, less hassle
We design in plenty of sensibly placed sockets and points so the house works the way you actually live in it.
Clean and certified
Dust sheets as standard, walls made good and full certification notified to Building Control on completion.
Your questions, answered
How long does a house rewire take?
A typical Folkestone home takes around five to ten working days depending on size and whether it is a full or partial rewire. Larger period villas can take longer and we set out the timescale clearly in your quote.
Can we live in the house during the rewire?
In most cases yes. We work room by room to keep power and lighting where possible and tidy up at the end of each day. For bigger jobs we will agree a plan so you know what to expect throughout.
How do we know we need a rewire?
Look out for rubber or fabric coated cable, an old fuse board that trips, warm or discoloured sockets, flickering lights and very few sockets. We can inspect the installation and advise honestly on what is needed.
