House Rewire Electrician in Skipton
Rewiring a stone house needs planning. Routes are agreed with you first, chased carefully and made good afterwards.
A rewire replaces the cables and accessories, and usually the board, bringing the house up to current regulations.
Thick stone walls and original features mean we plan each run before cutting, and use voids and floor spaces where we can.
Signs a rewire is due
- Old rubber or fabric cable
- Switches on skirting boards
- An EICR with C2 codes
- Extension leads everywhere
- A renovation under way
- Warm accessories

Rewiring Skipton homes
Skipton has a lot of 19th century stone terraces from its mill town days, plus cottages and barn conversions in the villages around it. Many are due a rewire, and doing it before decorating saves a lot of mess.
