Milngavie is full of 1930s bungalows and interwar semis, and a great many of them are now on their second or third rewire. That sounds reassuring until you open one up: what you usually find is layers of work from different decades, with each new run added to whatever was already there rather than replacing it. Not enough sockets and a fuse box with no room left are the giveaways.
A rewire is the biggest electrical job a house ever gets, so it deserves planning. We walk it room by room with you first and agree where every socket, switch and light should go, then protect floors and furniture, chase cleanly and make everything good afterwards. Interwar houses often have generous loft and underfloor access, which we use to keep chasing down. Everything is tested, certified and signed off.

Your questions, answered
How much does a rewire cost in Milngavie?
A three-bedroom house typically runs from around £4,000 to £7,000 in the UK, more for a larger property. We price yours after seeing it and confirm it in writing.
Can we stay in the house?
Usually yes. We work room by room and keep power on overnight wherever possible, and will say honestly if the job would be quicker with the house empty.
Do we need a full rewire or a partial?
It depends what the testing shows. Sometimes only part of the installation needs replacing, and we will tell you that rather than selling you a full rewire.
