Why rewire in Highgate?
Highgate is dominated by detached and semi-detached period homes, many in the conservation area, which means rewires here are about routing rather than ripping out. We frequently encounter knob-and-tube relics, undersized 1960s upgrades, and bell-wire doorbell circuits still being used for low-voltage downstairs lighting — all of which need to come out.
We've worked on hundreds of properties across Highgate and the surrounding Highgate Village, Highgate Cemetery, Waterlow Park, Pond Square area, so we know what to expect before we lift the first floorboard. That means accurate estimates, no surprise extras, and a clean handover with full certification at the end.

What to expect
We start every Highgate rewire with a free on-site survey so we can confirm circuit numbers, consumer unit position, and any access constraints (loft hatches, listed-building restrictions, shared walls in conversion flats). You get a fixed written quote within 24 hours.
On the job itself we dust-sheet rooms before we start, work one floor at a time so you keep power and water, and tidy up at the end of every day. Once first-fix and second-fix are signed off we issue your Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), notify Building Control under Part P, and send you the compliance certificate within 30 days.

Highgate rewire FAQ
How much does a full house rewire cost in Highgate?
Most full rewires in Highgate (N6) fall between £4,500 and £9,500 depending on the size of the property, the number of circuits, and whether the consumer unit needs to be relocated. A two-bed Victorian terrace is at the lower end; a four-bed period semi or warehouse conversion is at the upper end. Our online estimator gives you a fixed price in under two minutes — no salesperson, no follow-up calls.
How long does a rewire take in a typical Highgate home?
Allow 5–10 working days for a standard three-bedroom rewire in Highgate, plus 1–2 days of plastering afterwards. Larger period homes with multiple consumer units, listed-building constraints, or loft conversions can run to 12–15 working days. We give you a day-by-day schedule before any work starts.
Do I need to move out during the rewire?
Most Highgate clients stay in the property and we work one floor at a time, isolating circuits as we go so you always have power, water, and one working bathroom. If the house is empty or undergoing a wider refurbishment we can work faster and across all floors at once.
Will the work need building control sign-off?
Yes — any full or partial rewire in Highgate is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. As NICEIC-registered electricians we self-certify the work and issue you both an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and the Building Control compliance certificate within 30 days of completion. You keep both for your home file and any future sale.
