Home Rewiring & Renovation Electrical
Kitchen and bathroom renovations, extensions, and full house rewires on properties still running the original cloth or VIR cabling. Staged so you keep power where you live while the work moves through the house.

Live RenovationWhy a Renovation Is the Moment to Fix the Wiring
The walls are open exactly once. Everything below is cheap now and expensive the day after the plasterer finishes.
Cloth and VIR Cabling
Homes wired before the 1960s often still carry rubber-insulated cable with a cloth braid. The rubber goes brittle and drops off the conductor, leaving bare copper inside a wall cavity. It does not get better with age.
No Earth on Old Circuits
Early circuits were run without an earth conductor. A modern appliance with a metal case plugged into an unearthed circuit has nowhere to send a fault, and the safety switch protecting it cannot do its job properly.
Junctions Buried in Walls
Decades of small additions leave joins taped up inside cavities with no accessible enclosure. Each one is a connection nobody can inspect and a fault nobody can find without opening the wall again.
How a Rewire Actually Runs
The part that matters on an occupied house is sequencing, not cable.
Condition Report First
Insulation resistance tested circuit by circuit before anything is quoted, so you get a scope based on measurements rather than an assumption about the era of the house.
Staged Around You
Work is sequenced room by room so the kitchen and at least one living area keep power overnight. You are told which circuits are down and for how long.
Board Upgraded With It
A rewire ends at the switchboard. New circuits are landed on individual RCBOs rather than reconnected to a board that cannot protect them.
Certified Stage by Stage
A CCEW is lodged for each completed stage rather than one at the end, so a part-finished job is still a documented, compliant job.
