Lanark is home for us, so we know its housing better than anywhere. The stone cottages around the town centre, the sandstone terraces off the High Street and the farm steadings out towards Carstairs and the Clyde valley all throw up the same thing when you open them up: wiring that has been added to for decades rather than planned. Rubber or fabric cable, a fuse box full of rewireable fuses and nowhere near enough sockets are the usual signs a property is overdue.
A rewire is the biggest electrical job a house ever has, so we plan it before a single cable is lifted. We walk it room by room with you, agree where every socket, switch and light should go, then protect floors and furniture and chase walls cleanly. Older stone walls need a different approach to a modern block build, and we allow for it. Everything is tested, certified to BS 7671 and signed off to the Scottish building standards.
Stone and rural properties
Solid stone walls, steadings and outbuildings need routes planned rather than forced, and we price that in from the start.
Agreed room by room
Every socket, switch and light position agreed with you before we start, so nothing lands somewhere awkward.
New consumer unit included
A modern board with surge protection and a safety switch on every circuit, clearly labelled.
Your questions, answered
How much does a house rewire cost in Lanark?
Across the UK a three-bedroom house typically runs from around £4,000 to £7,000, and more for a larger or rural property with outbuildings. We price yours after seeing it and give you a competitive price in writing.
How long does a rewire take?
One to two weeks for a typical three-bedroom home, longer for a steading or a house with outbuildings. You get a day-by-day plan before we start.
Can we stay in the house?
Usually yes. We work room by room and keep power on overnight wherever we can, and we will tell you straight if the job would be quicker with the house empty.

Competitive prices, certified work and an immaculate finish, on every single job.
