Hythe is full of character, from the Victorian and Edwardian homes climbing the hillside above the Royal Military Canal and St Leonard's Church to the seafront and newer edges of town. The older hillside houses are prime candidates for a rewire, often still on dated cable with rubber or fabric insulation, undersized fuse boards and nowhere near enough sockets for modern living. If switches buzz, lights dim when the kettle goes on or the board keeps tripping, the wiring is usually trying to tell you something.
Every rewire begins with a free fixed written quote, so you have one price up front and no hidden extras. We agree a room-by-room plan with you before any cable is lifted, lay dust sheets as standard, make good the walls and leave rooms 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 completed installation and notify it to Building Control so everything is properly documented.

Your questions, answered
How long does a house rewire take?
A typical Hythe home takes around five to ten working days depending on its size and whether it is a full or partial rewire. Larger hillside houses can take a little longer and we will set out the timescale in your written quote.
Can we live in the house during the rewire?
Usually yes. We work room by room to keep power and lighting on where we can, and we clear up each day. For bigger jobs we agree a plan so you always know what is happening next.
How do we know we need a rewire?
Tell tale signs include rubber or fabric coated cable, an old fuse board that trips, warm sockets, flickering lights and very few power points. We can inspect your installation and give you a straight answer.
