House Rewire Loughborough
Full vacant property rewires in Loughborough from Leicester-Spark Ltd, with testing and certification included.
This page covers full house rewires in vacant properties in Loughborough. Leicester-Spark Ltd is based in Leicester. In Loughborough we also carry out EICR inspections for homeowners and landlords, consumer unit replacements, kitchen electrical installations and other planned electrical work, including repairs and fault finding.
Full house rewires are planned projects, scheduled in advance. Because a rewire typically takes up to 7 working days on site, the proportion of total cost taken up by travel is small. That makes rewire projects in Loughborough and the surrounding area straightforward to plan.
Our main rewire service is based in Leicester — see our house rewire Leicester page for full details, pricing guide and frequently asked questions.
Start With the Rewire Calculator
Before requesting a visit, please use our house rewire cost calculator to get a rough idea of the likely budget.
A full rewire is a major project. The final quote depends on the size of the property, number of rooms, sockets, lighting points, kitchen circuits, bathroom circuits, consumer unit, access and the standard of finish required. The calculator is not a fixed quote, but it helps confirm whether the likely budget is realistic before arranging a site visit.

Why Full Rewires Can Be Carried Out Further Afield
A full rewire is a planned project, which makes it practical further from our Leicester base.
- A rewire runs for up to 7 working days, sometimes longer for larger properties.
- Travel time is a small proportion of the total hours on site.
- The project is planned and scheduled in advance.
- The client and contractor have time to discuss scope, access, programme and handover properly before work starts.
Loughborough and the surrounding areas are well within reach for a planned rewire.
What Is Included in a Full House Rewire
- New cabling installed throughout to BS 7671 (18th Edition)
- New sockets, switches and lighting points as agreed in scope
- Kitchen circuits — dedicated supplies for oven, hob, dishwasher, extractor
- Bathroom circuits where required
- Consumer unit upgrade where required — RCD/RCBO protection and surge protection device
- Full inspection and testing on completion
- Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) issued on completion
- Building Regulations notification (Part P) where applicable
Making good — plastering, painting, floor repairs — is not included. Redecoration is arranged separately once second fix is complete.
Kitchen rewires can also be carried out as standalone projects during a refurbishment or extension. See our kitchen rewire page for detail on appliance circuits, socket layouts and isolation requirements.
How Quoting Works for Loughborough Projects
The quickest route to a quotation is:
- Use the rewire calculator first. This gives a rough budget range based on property size and scope. It helps confirm whether a full rewire is within budget before either side invests time in a site visit.
- Send photos, a floor plan and a short video walkthrough. A series of photos of each room, the consumer unit, the loft, under the stairs and any obvious problem areas, combined with a rough floor plan or description of the layout, allows a much more informed conversation before anyone travels. A short phone or video walkthrough can also help.
- Initial discussion. We can talk through scope, programme, likely access issues, consumer unit position and any complications before committing to a site visit.
- Site visit if the project is suitable. If the project looks like a good fit after the above steps, a site visit can be arranged to confirm the fixed quotation.
This approach saves time on both sides and means the site visit can focus on confirming your fixed quotation.
Full Rewires Are Carried Out in Vacant Properties Only
A full house rewire cannot be carried out in an occupied home. The electricity supply is off for most of each working day. Floorboards are lifted in every room, walls are chased throughout, and there is significant dust and disruption at every stage.
Most clients plan the rewire around a period when the property is naturally vacant — between purchase and moving in, between tenancies, or during a broader renovation project. This is typically the most straightforward arrangement for everyone.
If the property is not fully vacant, a partial or phased approach may be worth discussing — for example a consumer unit replacement on its own, or a kitchen-only rewire during a refurbishment. Get in touch and we can talk through what is realistic for your situation.

- Why does the property need to be vacant?

- What do I need to provide before a site visit can be arranged?
