PLAN THE WORK PROPERLY
House rewiring and renovations in Kempton Park
Renovating a home in Kempton Park? Plan the wiring before the walls are closed. Share the room layout, build dates and changes you need.
Separate faults from new work
List existing faults on one side and planned changes on the other. It makes the scope easier to discuss.
A full rewire is not always needed. Ask which wiring needs work, what the checks showed and what can stay.
Bring a simple room list
- Rooms being added, moved or changed.
- The location of lights, switches and plug points.
- Large fixed appliances that need a supply.
- Dates for building, ceilings, tiling and painting.
Agree who does what
Confirm who opens and repairs walls or ceilings. Ask what needs to happen before the builder can close each area.
For an occupied home, discuss rooms you need to keep using. Agree each stage and any power-off time.
Keep the record of changes
Ask for a written scope and quote. Record changes to the plan before extra work starts.
Keep invoices, test records and any certificate that applies. They help explain the work when the property changes hands.
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.
