Rewiring a stripped-back period home during renovation

House rewiring
in Burnley.

Most Burnley cottages are old enough that some original wiring may still be inside the walls and ceilings. House rewiring is a big decision here, so we inspect first and explain what we find.

House Rewires for
Burnley homes.

A Victorian or Edwardian cottage that has been renovated at the front or the back often keeps old wiring in the parts nobody opened. Ceilings and walls that were never touched are where we find rubber or cloth insulation, with brittle sheathing and old joins. We test the circuits, check the roof space and underfloor, and show you photos. If a full rewire is needed, the compact lots limit access, so we plan carefully. We work from the roof and underfloor and cut into the walls only where there's no alternative. Period details such as cornices, picture rails and ceiling roses are protected. A rewire is easier to schedule alongside other building work, with walls already open. If only part of the house is old, we can rewire just that part and leave newer wiring alone.

What the job involves, warning signs and what's included are on our main house rewires page. For everything else we do locally, see electrician Burnley.

Good work. Happy locals.

Can a Burnley cottage be rewired without taking out the original plaster ceilings?

Often, yes. We work from the roof space and underfloor, and make small access holes where needed. Fragile or ornate plaster gets extra care. We'll inspect the ceilings first and tell you what risk there is.
