House rewiring & new home electrical wiring
Older wiring, a stripped-back renovation or a new house build are good opportunities to get electrical circuits, lighting, switch positions and future requirements planned properly. We take on full and partial rewiring and new-build electrical enquiries.
Rewiring is a planned electrical project. Extent, access, existing wiring condition, switchboard capacity and building stages affect the scope and price.
Wiring projects that need clear planning
Unlike everyday electrical repairs, rewiring and new-build work often involve multiple trades, wall or ceiling access and staged testing.
Full house rewiring
Assess ageing or unsuitable existing circuits and develop a replacement scope based on access and the home's layout.
Partial rewiring
Replace or extend defined sections of wiring during upgrades, repairs, kitchen or bathroom renovation and alterations.
New home rough-in and fit-off
Plan circuits, outlets, switches, lighting and fixed-appliance connections through appropriate building stages.
Switchboard and protection planning
Review circuit capacity, protective devices, earthing and the condition of the existing board alongside the proposed wiring.
Lighting, power and future loads
Allow for practical switching, external power, heat-pump or EV requirements, data outlets and additional dedicated circuits.
Renovation coordination
Work around wall access, other trades, structural constraints, finishes and safe temporary power arrangements.
Real electrical work, not stock imagery.

What we check before the work starts.
Access to cables
Ceilings, wall linings, roof spaces and flooring affect how much wiring can be replaced without other building work.
Existing installation
Testing and inspection may reveal legacy wiring or circuits that need a broader scope than first expected.
Plans and room layout
Drawings and a room-by-room outlet and lighting schedule help avoid changes after walls are closed.
Testing and certificates
Applicable work is tested and documented, with NSW CCEW submitted through the prescribed process.
Four practical steps.
Share plans and priorities
Send drawings if available, the suburb, building type, problem areas and desired electrical changes.
Agree scope and stages
Review circuits, access, switchboard work, temporary supply and coordination with the builder or other trades.
Complete rough-in and wiring
Install the agreed wiring and accessories at appropriate stages while maintaining required protections and access.
Fit-off, test and document
Complete suitable fit-off, electrical testing and applicable NSW electrical compliance certificates.
Common questions about house rewiring & new home electrical wiring.
Can you rewire an older home while it is occupied?
Possibly, depending on access, circuit layout and safe isolation arrangements. We scope disruption and temporary power requirements before the job.
Do you do new build electrical rough-ins?
Yes. We can discuss new residential wiring projects, rough-in and fit-off in coordination with the construction schedule.
Will the switchboard need replacing too?
Not necessarily, but the existing protection, capacity and condition should be assessed as part of a rewiring project.
Can the wiring be replaced without removing wall linings?
Some routes may be accessible through roof or floor spaces; other sections can require building access and subsequent patching by the relevant trade.
Can data outlets be included?
Yes, subject to the relevant cabling registration and competencies. Combining electrical and communications planning can help during an open-wall stage.
Do you provide electrical compliance documentation?
Yes. Applicable electrical installation work is tested and NSW CCEW documentation is submitted as required.
