Electrical Rewiring Specialists Serving Folkestone
Electrical wiring in older Folkestone properties can reach a point where it presents a genuine concern. Rubber-insulated cables, old radial circuits, limited sockets, and a consumer unit that has not been updated in decades are all signs that a rewire should at least be assessed by a qualified electrician.
Our approved engineers carry out full and partial rewires across Folkestone for homeowners undertaking renovations or bringing an older property’s wiring up to a safe and practical standard. Our approved NICEIC registered electricians plan the work carefully, work as cleanly as the job allows, and complete everything with full certification. We cover Folkestone and the wider Kent area.

Why choose us
Why Choose Us for Rewiring in Folkestone
NICEIC Registered Throughout
All rewiring is carried out by NICEIC registered electricians and certified on completion, giving you a valid compliance document for insurance and future sale.
Planned to Minimise Disruption
We phase the work carefully and communicate clearly so you know what to expect each day. We keep as much power available as possible throughout.
Full Circuit Layout Designed
A new circuit layout is designed to suit how you use your home today, not how it was originally wired decades ago.
Making Good Included
We fill and prepare surfaces after chasing, leaving them ready for decoration. We do not leave exposed channels or holes for you to deal with.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms
We include correctly positioned mains-wired smoke alarms and, where appropriate, carbon monoxide detectors as part of a full rewire.
Consumer Unit Replaced
A full rewire includes a new consumer unit with RCD protection as standard, meaning the whole electrical installation is brought up to current standards.
Common questions
Rewiring in Folkestone FAQs
How do I know if my Folkestone home needs rewiring?
Common signs that a Folkestone property may need rewiring include rubber or fabric-insulated cables visible in the loft or at the consumer unit (indicating wiring from the 1960s or earlier), round-pin sockets, a fuse board with ceramic rewirable fuses rather than modern circuit breakers, persistent circuit trips, and scorch marks around sockets or switches. An EICR inspection will confirm the condition of the wiring properly.
How long does a full rewire take in Folkestone?
The duration of a full rewire in Folkestone depends on the size of the property. A typical two or three bedroom house takes between three and five days. Larger properties or those with complex layouts can take longer. We work in phases where possible to keep some power available in the property during the work.
Do I need to move out during a rewire in Folkestone?
This depends on the scope of the work and your personal preference. For a full rewire, there will be periods with no power to certain circuits, dust from chasing cables into walls, and areas of the house that are not accessible while work is in progress. Many homeowners in Folkestone choose to remain in the property with some inconvenience; others prefer to arrange alternative accommodation for the duration. We will advise on what to expect before work starts.
Will a rewire damage my walls and decoration in Folkestone?
Rewiring inevitably involves some disruption to walls and ceilings as cables need to be chased in or routed through them. We work as cleanly and carefully as the job allows, and we will fill and make good where we have chased. For full redecoration of the affected surfaces, most homeowners in Folkestone arrange a plasterer and decorator after the electrical work is complete.
Is rewiring a home in Folkestone covered by any certification?
Yes, all rewiring work carried out in Folkestone is certified on completion. They issue an Electrical Installation Certificate that covers the new installation, and as NICEIC registered contractors, they self-certify the work under Part P of the Building Regulations. You do not need to separately notify the local authority building control.

Really impressed with how the rewire was managed. Good communication throughout, engineers worked cleanly, and the finished installation is a huge improvement.
Had a partial rewire to deal with old wiring in the extension. The electricians were thorough, the making good was very neat, and the certificate arrived quickly.
Full rewire completed on time and to budget. Engineers worked around us, made good all the chased channels, and the new consumer unit with RCBO protection is great.
