We help Wellington homeowners plan partial and full house rewiring through our electrical renovation service. Start with the rooms, faults and future changes you want assessed so we can define the work your property needs.
In this guide
Start with an assessment of the installation
The age of a house is useful background, but it does not describe the condition of every circuit. Tell us about known faults, previous alterations, electrical reports and the reason you are considering rewiring. We assess the installation before recommending the scope.
Our electrical renovations service is the starting point for wiring changes alongside kitchen, bathroom or wider home projects. If there is an active fault, describe it when you contact us rather than waiting for the renovation to begin.
Partial rewiring or a wider project
A defined area may need new wiring during an extension or room renovation. In other cases, the assessment may identify a wider replacement project. Agree which circuits, rooms, fittings and outbuildings are included, and what existing equipment is being retained.
Include future plans such as a kitchen appliance change or EV charging in the brief. They may affect the design discussion even when the equipment is being installed later.
Coordinate access with the renovation
Share the builder’s programme and any planned openings in walls or ceilings. Discuss roof and underfloor access, furniture, pets and the rooms that need to remain usable. At an occupied home, the sequence and power interruptions need to be planned with the household.
- Property address and the best access contact.
- Room plan showing work areas and retained rooms.
- Dates when other trades expect to open or close walls.
- Known material hazards or relevant property reports.
- Appliances or equipment that need special interruption planning.
Make positions and finishes clear
Mark proposed sockets, switches and fixed appliances on the plan. In a kitchen, final cabinetry can determine where electrical points will be accessible. Use the kitchen lighting checklist to discuss worktop lighting before the positions are fixed.
Confirm who handles opening and making good, decorating and fitting supply. Our house rewiring cost guide gives you a room schedule for comparing those inclusions.
Agree the handover
Before work begins, ask how changes to the scope will be approved and which documentation you will receive. At completion, keep the circuit schedule and applicable electrical records with the property file. Ask us to explain any outstanding recommendations separately from the work completed.
If the switchboard is part of the project, our switchboard quote guide helps distinguish board replacement, circuit work and possible supply coordination.
Questions about Wellington
Can you plan rewiring while we are living in the house?
Tell us that the home is occupied when booking the assessment. We can discuss access, work sequence and interruptions before the scope and programme are agreed.
Should I finish the renovation drawings first?
Bring the drawings you have and identify decisions still open. Early discussion helps coordinate wiring routes and point locations before walls and cabinetry are finished.
