People often put off full property rewires because they expect the worst. Usually the scope is narrower than feared. On a recent full property rewires job in Cardiff Bay & city centre, the customer's first question was the one we hear most: how do we know we are getting value, not a shortcut? Where an installation has been extended over decades, the sensible approach is to establish a baseline before adding anything else to it. Which is why the price follows the test rather than the other way round.
What we are really assessing is condition, not age. Cable runs first, plaster patching coordinated, finishes second matters; the date on the board does not, by itself. The regulations are specific about it, so there is little room for opinion. Full property rewires in a Cardiff property is not the same conversation as it would be in a new build, and it should not be priced as if it were.
