Partial home rewire options in Irvine
- 01
When part of a rewire makes sense
If an EICR shows most circuits in good condition but one area has old cable, damaged wiring or poor DIY work, replacing just that section can be the sensible choice. Common examples are a kitchen, an upstairs lighting circuit or the wiring in an older extension.

Testing decides what stays
A partial rewire only works if the wiring being kept is sound. We test the circuits you plan to keep first, so you're not paying to replace part of the house only to find the rest needs doing a year later. The results show where to draw the line.

Joining old and new safely
New circuits have to connect safely to your existing installation, and that often means a newer consumer unit with RCD protection. We'll tell you if the board needs replacing too, and label new and old sections clearly so anyone working on them later can follow it.
What to expect from a partial home rewire
We begin by testing the existing installation and agreeing which circuits or rooms are being replaced. The quote shows exactly what's included, so you can see the difference between a partial and a full rewire and decide which suits your home and budget.
The work follows the same stages as a full rewire but in fewer rooms, so the disruption stays limited. Once the new wiring is in, we test the new circuits and the connection to the rest of the installation, then issue the right certificate for the work.
What's included
- Testing of the circuits being kept
- New wiring in the agreed areas
- New sockets and switches there
- Advice on your consumer unit
- Testing where old meets new
- A certificate for the new work

Partial home rewire questions
Is a partial rewire cheaper than a full rewire in Irvine?
Usually, yes, because fewer rooms and circuits are involved. It only saves money if the wiring you keep is in good condition, though. If testing shows the rest is close to the end of its life, a full rewire can work out better value over time.
Can I rewire just my kitchen in Irvine?
Yes. Kitchens are one of the most common partial rewires, especially during a refit. New circuits for the cooker, hob and appliances go in alongside fresh sockets and lighting, as long as the consumer unit can take them and the rest of the home tests well.
How long does a partial rewire take in an Irvine house?
It depends on how much is being replaced. A single room or circuit can take a day or two, while a whole floor may take most of a week. We'll give you a timescale with your quote and agree in advance when the power needs to be off.
Will my house pass an EICR after a partial rewire in Irvine?
The new circuits will be certified, but an EICR looks at the whole installation. If the parts you kept were tested and found in good order, there's every chance of a satisfactory report. We'll point out anything in the rest of the house that could affect the result.
