Partial rewire
Replacing or extending some of a property's circuits rather than all of them, often a kitchen, a bathroom or an upstairs lighting circuit. Alternative names for this work include circuit extension, rewiring one room, and new circuit. On Tradehand, 146 of the 269 businesses carrying out partial rewire are in London, followed by 12 in Bristol, 8 in Leeds, 8 in Sheffield and 7 in Birmingham.
Why people have it done
- The circuits that need replacing are replaced without opening up the whole property.
- Work follows a room being refitted rather than waiting for a whole-house job.
