How long does a house rewire take in Balham?
A typical 2-bedroom house rewire in Balham takes 3–5 days. A 3-bedroom Victorian terrace usually takes 5–7 days. We work methodically to minimise disruption and agree a clear schedule before work begins.
Do I need to move out during a rewire?
In most cases you can remain in the property during a rewire, though you should expect some disruption — particularly loss of power to certain circuits during the day. For larger properties we may recommend vacating for a few days. We will advise you honestly during the survey.
