Is Electrical Re-Wiring a Big Job?
Re-wiring is a large but essential project that involves messy and disruptive work in every room. Electrical cables are buried in the walls, floors and ceilings each providing power to your sockets and light switches. It is usually best to vacate rooms when the work is being done.
It is important to note that rewiring is not for amateurs and needs a careful approach by someone who knows what they are doing.
