Much of Sheffield's housing dates from the city's peak Victorian growth as the world centre of steel and cutlery manufacturing - stainless steel itself was invented in Sheffield in 1913 - meaning a large share of properties predate modern wiring regulations by well over a century.
Why a site visit matters
Given how many Sheffield terraces have a patchwork wiring history, an electrician genuinely can't give an accurate full-rewire quote without inspecting the property first.
What's actually included
A full rewire should include a new consumer unit, complete new cabling, socket and switch replacement, and an EICR at completion, from a NICEIC or NAPIT registered electrician.
