Why Choose us for Rewiring?
Safety and compliance
All rewires are carried out to BS7671 and Building Regulations, with full inspection and testing so your electrics meet current safety standards.
Local, reliable tradesmanship
A South Bristol electrician who turns up on time, communicates clearly and treats your home with respect — minimal fuss, neat work and tidy finishes.
Transparent quotes and aftercare
Free quoting visits, honest reporting and manufacturer-backed components plus a 6-month workmanship period for reasonable post-installation issues.
Full and partial rewires tailored to your property. A full rewire replaces the fixed wiring, sockets, lighting circuits and consumer unit to ensure the installation meets modern safety standards. For less extensive work a partial or targeted rewire renews specific circuits — for example kitchens, bathrooms, or faulty cable runs discovered during renovation. We install modern consumer units with RCD protection, fit dedicated circuits for ovens, EV chargers and showers, upgrade earthing and bonding, and supply compliant smoke alarm circuits where required.
How we work with homeowners. GLR Electrical provides quick guidance from photos and no-charge quoting visits so you get a realistic scope and schedule. Work is planned to reduce disruption — we can phase rewires, protect floors and joinery and agree daily access times. Every job finishes with full inspection and testing, a completion certificate and clear notes on any further recommendations. We use reputable components with manufacturer warranties, offer a 6-month workmanship period and hold public and employers' liability insurance for your peace of mind.
— FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the property and the condition of the existing wiring. Older homes with cloth or degraded twin-and-earth wiring often benefit from a full rewire, while a partial rewire can target specific problem circuits or areas during a renovation. We assess this at the survey and explain the safest, most cost-effective route.
