House Rewire Leeds

If your home still has old wiring — rubber-insulated cables, a dated fuse box, or circuits that keep tripping — it may be time for a rewire. Optima Electrical carry out full and partial house rewires across Leeds, bringing older properties up to current 18th Edition standards safely and with minimal disruption.

Signs Your House Needs Rewiring

Most homes built before the 1980s will need a rewire at some point. Common signs include:

  • Frequent tripping or blown fuses
  • Burn marks or scorch marks around sockets or switches
  • A fuse box with old-style ceramic fuses instead of modern MCBs or RCBOs
  • Rubber or fabric-insulated wiring visible in the loft or under floorboards
  • Lights flickering when appliances are switched on
  • A failed EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report)

If you’re buying a property and the surveyor flags the electrics, a rewire assessment is the sensible next step.

Full Rewire vs Partial Rewire

A full rewire replaces all the wiring, sockets, switches, and the consumer unit throughout the entire property. It’s typically needed for older homes that haven’t been updated in 30 or more years.

A partial rewire targets specific areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or extensions. It’s a good option when some of the existing wiring is still in good condition but certain circuits need upgrading.

We’ll assess the whole property and recommend the right option based on safety and condition. We won’t push a full rewire if a partial one will do the job properly.

What's Involved

A typical full rewire for a 3-bed semi in Leeds takes around 5 to 7 working days.

First, we carry out a survey and agree the layout of sockets, switches, and lighting with you. Then we lift floorboards and chase walls to run new cables throughout the property. New sockets, switches, and a modern consumer unit are installed. Finally, everything is fully tested and certified, and any disturbed areas are made good.

We keep at least one room usable during the work so you don’t need to move out. Dust sheets are used throughout, and we clean up at the end of each day.
