PLAN THE WORK PROPERLY
House rewiring and renovations in Sandton
A room update is a good time to plan your power points and lights. For rewiring, the first step is to understand the existing installation and the work you have in mind.
A full rewire is not always the answer
A wiring concern needs a proper check. Age alone does not tell you the exact scope of work.
Explain any faults, damage or past changes. Ask for the reason behind each proposed repair or replacement.
Have these details ready
- The rooms or parts of the home affected.
- Any plans for walls, ceilings or new rooms.
- A list of large appliances and new points.
- Your build dates and other trades on site.
Plan access and disruption
Ask when power may need to be off. Plan around work, food storage and any equipment you depend on.
Confirm which walls or ceilings need access. Ask who is responsible for patching and painting afterwards.
Keep the job record
Ask for a written scope and itemised quote. Keep the paperwork for any testing, repairs and certification that apply to the work.
Before you book
Can electrical work be done in stages?
Ask about a staged plan for your project. Safe separation, testing and access need to be considered for each stage.
Should I book before the builder starts?
Raise the electrical plan early. It helps place points before walls and finishes are completed.
