Newcastle is a vibrant city brimming with a great mix of architecture, shops, entertainment and industry. Enertech FM has been servicing many clients large and small in and around Newcastle for a considerable length of time. More frequently, we have been undertaking a number of rewiring projects for commercial clients who have moved into older buildings. Rewiring doesn’t happen often and therefore we hear a lot of questions from people who are slightly confused about the basics of the process, how you find out if you need rewiring, how long it takes and why you need it. Rewiring is a sizable job and regardless of your sector or building size, it is a task that is necessary but unfortunately disruptive. Finding a highly reputable commercial electrician in Newcastle comes with its challenges – you need the process to be completed as quickly as possible so that business as usual can be resumed.
How do I know I need a rewire?
There are a number of signs to indicate that a rewire is required. Ultimately the recommendation will be the result of an in-depth inspection made by an electrical surveyor. You should look out for circuit breakers that regularly trip, flickering lights and if you are receiving small shocks from switches then this is definitely a cause for concern. Generally speaking, old buildings that have not been rewired in over 30 years may have outdated and worn systems which should be inspected. If you are experiencing these signs and are searching for the best commercial electrician in Newcastle, Enertech FM can dispatch a qualified electro surveyor at short notice. He/She will come to your premises and inspect the wiring to confirm whether you need a rewire.
What happens to my business/organisation during the rewire?
Unfortunately, electrical rewiring is a big job involving the stripping back of wallpaper and plaster in order to replace wire lengths and switches. During the process, mains electricity will be completely shut off rendering many tasks unfulfillable. You will have to be prepared to shut your business for a number of days while this work takes place. This highlights the fact that if you use a commercial electrician in Newcastle, you need to have confidence that they will carry out the project in as little time as possible. Years of professional rewiring for many clients has meant that Enertech FM has unrivalled experience delivering great solutions on time no matter the complexity of the project.
What is the process of rewiring with Enertech FM?
We strive to make the process of rewiring as simple, clear and structured as possible. The first step is to send us an enquiry. You can do this via telephone on 0191 432 4814, or request a survey through our website. We will conduct a thorough inspection of the property and confirm whether a rewire is needed. Following on we will initiate a discussion with you regarding availability, budget and any other specific requirements you may have.

How much does rewiring cost?
Enertech FM serves many clients with many different requirements. Our quotes are not templated and we provide them on the basis of what our clients need, the complexity of their requirements and budgets amongst other considerations. This means that we can’t outright give a typical cost for rewiring as it completely depends on a number of unique factors. What we do promise is that we will price competitively so that you gain a quality service that reflects real value for money.
