“We had a full rewrite done on a Victorian property. We heard the ad on the radio, called in, wishing 3 weeks we are fully electrical safe!! The guys who worked on the house were outstanding, understood what we required and carried out an amazing job in just a week. The wiring was extremely outdated and I cannot recommend 0800 re wire enough, they have worked so hard to bring a house of this scale back up to modern standards. Would especially like to mention Luke who ran the job from start to finish, I cannot thank you enough for your hard work and effort! 5 star service Thank you 0800 rewire”

Electrical work in homes in England & Wales should be done by a registered competent person who can self-certify it meets the Part P safety rules. Check they're on the official register.
Check the electrical registerIn England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations. Confirm they will handle that.
Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations.
Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done. It is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell.
