PLAN THE WORK PROPERLY
House rewiring and renovations in Randburg
Before changing wiring, set out the rooms, faults and building plans. A site check can help separate repairs from a larger rewire. Ask for a clear reason and scope for each part of the work.
Start with the condition of the installation
Old wiring is a reason to ask for a check, not proof that every cable must be replaced. Existing faults and test results help define the work.
Tell the electrician about past changes, water damage or rooms added to the house.
Prepare for a site discussion
- List the rooms and electrical points to change.
- Share plans for new walls, ceilings or extensions.
- Explain whether the home will be occupied during the work.
- List large appliances and any equipment that must keep running.
Plan the disruption before work begins
Ask where walls or ceilings need access. Confirm who will make good afterwards and how rooms will be handed back.
Discuss power-off periods, site access and how the work fits with the builder’s schedule.
Get the scope in writing
The quote should make it clear which work is included. Ask how extra work will be agreed if hidden issues are found.
Keep the relevant test records and certificates with your property documents.
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.
