What's Involved

When Your Property Needs a Full Rewire

A large proportion of Algarve villas, quintas and apartments — particularly those built before the 1990s — were wired to standards that are now decades out of date. Outdated aluminium wiring, undersized consumer units, insufficient earthing and a lack of RCD protection are all common findings in older Portuguese properties.

A full rewire replaces all existing wiring, consumer units, sockets, switches and fittings with a modern, fully certified electrical installation. This is often required before a property sale, rental licence application, major renovation, or insurance renewal.

We carry out every rewire to full Portuguese DGEG standards, providing all compliance documentation needed for insurance, resale and Alojamento Local rental licensing — all handled and explained in English from start to finish.

Full Wiring Replacement

All existing wiring stripped and replaced with modern cabling throughout the entire property.

New Consumer Unit Installation

Modern RCD-protected fuse board installed to replace outdated or undersized units.

Sockets, Switches & Fittings

All sockets, switches and light fittings replaced to current Portuguese standards throughout.

Earthing & Bonding

Common Questions

Full Villa Rewiring — FAQs

Everything you need to know about rewiring your Algarve property — answered in plain English.

Common signs include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, a fuse board that looks old or has ceramic fuses, visible aluminium wiring, burning smells from sockets, or a property built before the 1990s that has never been rewired. We offer a free survey to assess the installation and advise honestly on what's needed.
The timeframe depends on the size and complexity of the property. A standard two or three-bedroom villa typically takes three to five working days. Larger properties, quintas or properties undergoing simultaneous renovation may take longer. We provide a clear timeline as part of the initial survey and quote.
For most of the rewire, yes — the power will be off for extended periods and there will be significant disruption. For smaller properties we often complete the work in a single block. We discuss timing and access in detail before the job begins so you can plan accordingly.
Yes. An electrical compliance certificate is increasingly required for property transactions and is essential for Alojamento Local rental licensing. We provide full DGEG-compliant documentation on completion of the rewire, valid for insurance, resale and rental purposes.
Yes — renovation projects are a significant part of our rewiring work. We coordinate with your builder or project manager and carry out first and second fix wiring to fit within the renovation schedule. We can advise on socket and fitting positions from the planning stage.
Yes. Rural properties and isolated quintas make up a large part of our rewiring work across the Algarve. We cover the entire region — from the western coast to the eastern border and into the serra — including properties on private roads and estates.
Yes — a fully certified modern electrical installation is a significant selling point, particularly to buyers from the UK, Ireland and Northern Europe who are familiar with current safety standards. It also removes the need for a buyer to budget for rewiring post-purchase, which can stall or reduce offers.
