1920s family home: staged whole-house rewire
Knob-and-tube wiring replaced throughout a two-storey 1920s home in four stages, with the family living at home throughout.
Demo project: fictional example, not real completed work
- Property
- Two-storey house, 1924
- Duration
- 3 weeks in 4 stages
- Occupied
- Family stayed at home
- Area
- Riverside
The challenge
A pre-purchase inspection had found active knob-and-tube wiring and ungrounded outlets throughout. The family had moved in and needed to keep the house usable, including the kitchen.
Our approach
- Room-by-room survey and a written four-stage plan.
- Cable fished through existing cavities, keeping plaster openings small.
- Kitchen done in two days with a temporary circuit for the fridge.
- Old wiring disconnected and made safe at each stage.
Scope of work
- New grounded circuits throughout
- AFCI/GFCI protection where required
- Interconnected smoke and CO alarms
- Replacement panel with labelled circuit directory
Outcome
The house is fully rewired on modern circuits, and the family never had to move out.
