Old, deteriorating, or simply outdated wiring is one of the most serious hidden issues in older properties, and it’s not something to leave unaddressed. Beyond the safety risk, an outdated electrical system can also hold back other work, such as kitchen and bathroom installations, that depend on a modern, reliable supply.
Core Rock Ltd carries out full house rewires across all 10 boroughs of Greater Manchester, with all electrical work completed by our own NAPIT certified electricians. We do not subcontract. The same directly employed electrician who surveys your property is part of the team that completes the rewire.
Greater Manchester’s older housing stock, including Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, and interwar properties, very often still has wiring that’s decades past its safe working life. We carry out rewires that bring these properties fully up to current safety standards, while keeping disruption to a sensible minimum.

Before any work begins, we carry out a full assessment of your existing wiring, consumer unit, and circuits to identify exactly what needs replacing and confirm the scope of the rewire.
All outdated, damaged, or unsafe wiring is removed and replaced with new cabling run throughout the property, sized and routed correctly for each circuit.
Your old fuse box is replaced with a modern consumer unit fitted with RCD protection, meeting current safety standards and giving your home far better protection against electrical faults.
All sockets, switches, and lighting circuits are replaced as part of the rewire, with positioning reviewed and adjusted where it makes practical sense for how you use each room.
Earthing and bonding throughout the property is brought up to current regulations, an essential safety requirement that's often missing or inadequate in older electrical installations.
Any walls, floors, or ceilings disturbed while running new cabling are made good as part of the job, so you're not left to sort out patch repairs separately.
Take the first step today and reach out for a free consultation. Let’s bring your vision to life together, with care, clarity, and confidence.
Costs depend on the size of the property and ease of access to existing wiring routes. A full rewire on a typical three-bedroom semi-detached property generally ranges from £3,500 to £6,500. We provide a detailed, itemised quote following a free electrical survey.
Most full rewires take between five and ten days, depending on the size of the property and how the work is phased. We provide a clear timeframe as part of your written quote.
In most cases, no, although you should expect periods without power in certain rooms while work is carried out there. We plan the work to keep at least partial power available wherever practically possible.
Common signs include frequent tripped fuses, flickering lights, an old fuse box rather than a modern consumer unit, and visible old cabling types such as rubber or fabric-sheathed wire. If your property hasn’t been rewired in the last 25 to 30 years, it’s worth having it assessed.
Some disturbance to walls and floors is unavoidable, particularly around sockets and switches, but we keep this to a minimum wherever possible and carry out making good as part of the job. Full redecoration isn’t typically included but can be arranged separately if needed.
