Dulwich Hill House Rewiring, Done Properly

House rewiring covers replacing the cabling that carries power through the home, not just the fittings on the end of it.

Full rewires. The entire house recabled, board through to the last light fitting.

Partial rewires. Just the affected section, where only part of a home carries original wiring.

Renovation-triggered rewiring. New rooms, extensions or major works that need current wiring to match.

Circuit upgrades during a rewire. Extra circuits added for modern loads while the walls or ceiling are already open.

Switchboard coordination. A board upgrade usually rides along with a rewire, because the two jobs dovetail so neatly.

Data and comms cabling. Network and phone points added at the same time, while the ceiling and wall cavities are already accessible.

Dulwich Hill's pre-1940 housing stock is the single biggest reason this service exists on our list at all.

Federation and Victorian homes built before the war often still carry their original cabling, sometimes untouched since the house was built.

That wiring wasn't designed for a household running multiple screens, a home office and everything else a modern family plugs in at once, and it shows in how often we're called back to the same streets.

Heavy renovation of this housing stock routinely uncovers exactly this problem, forcing the rewire question earlier than the owner expected.

Newer apartment conversions rarely need a full rewire, but partial work is common where an added bathroom or kitchen has outgrown the original circuit.

Either way, we look at the whole property before recommending anything, since a partial rewire only makes sense once you know exactly where the original wiring ends.

1. Assessment at the property. We look over the existing wiring, switchboard and layout before a price is put to anything.

2. Detailed written quote. Scope, staging and price confirmed, with timing discussed honestly.

3. The rewire itself. Old cable stripped out and new circuits run, working through the roof and under the floor wherever that's an option.

4. Testing and sign-off. Every new circuit tested, with the compliance paperwork issued at completion.

A full rewire typically runs across several working days. A partial job on a single section often wraps up inside one or two.

Few jobs disrupt a house as much as a rewire, and getting the sequencing right takes real experience.

We plan the staging so disruption is kept to a minimum, working room by room rather than gutting the whole house at once.

You'll know which rooms are affected on which day before the job even starts, so life around the rewire stays as normal as it can.

That work is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee, with the $50 voucher there too if anything about the standard falls short.
