Code-compliant rewiring4.9249 reviews

Rewire your home, safely.

Old wiring is a silent fire risk — PVC insulation degrades in Singapore's heat over 25–35 years. We replace it end-to-end under our EMA ME05 L1 + HDB Contractor licence, with a signed test certificate at handover. HDB · condo · landed.

Six visible red flags

Is your wiring telling you something?

None of these are normal. Some are urgent, some give you months — we'll tell you honestly which is which after a 60-minute survey.

Warm or scorched switch plates

Plastic plates running warm = current is leaking inside the wall. Brown scorch marks around a socket are the warning shot before a fire.

Stop using that socket now
Frequent breaker trips on one circuit

If the same MCB keeps tripping after appliance load-tests come back clean, the wiring itself is the suspect — usually heat-aged insulation breaking down.

Worth a diagnostic visit
Buzzing, crackling, or arcing sounds

Loose connections inside the wall or DB box make a faint crackle. That's arcing — micro-fires happening repeatedly. Don't wait.

Schedule within the week
Lights flickering across multiple rooms

One bulb = bulb. One room = circuit. Multiple rooms = neutral / supply issue, often degraded mains wiring. Older flats see this first.

Soon — before something fails
Pre-1990s flat, never rewired

PVC insulation has a real lifespan in Singapore's heat — 25–35 years before brittleness sets in. If the original install is older than that and untouched, due for inspection.

Inspect within the year
Aluminium wiring or cloth-covered cable

Either material in any modern Singapore home is a hard red flag. Aluminium expands/contracts and loosens; cloth insulation crumbles. Both need replacement.

Full rewire, period
What's actually in the job

Six things in every rewire.

Not just “new wires.” A real rewire is six separate items — skip any and you've paid for half a job.

Strip out old cable runs

Pull every length of old conductor out of the conduits. We don't just bury new wires alongside the failing ones.

New colour-coded PVC cabling

Brown (live) / blue (neutral) / green-yellow (earth) to current Singapore code. Sized to the circuit's actual load.

Replace + relabel the DB box

New main switch, RCD (30 mA), MCBs sized per circuit, every breaker clearly labelled. No more guessing which breaker is which.

Earth-bonding everywhere

Bathrooms, kitchen sink, gas pipe, metalwork bonded back to the main earth bar — required by code, frequently missing in older installs.

Insulation + continuity test report

Megger test every conductor at 500V, prove >1 MΩ. Continuity test every circuit. You get the signed report.

Make-good finishing

Plaster + paint where we had to chase. We don't leave you with a half-finished wall when we hand the job back.

Site survey to handover

How a rewire actually runs.

No mystery. No “we'll come and look at it.” Here's every step and how long it takes.

01
Site survey
60 – 90 min

We walk the home, open the DB box, sample-test existing circuits. You get a written quote with options — full vs partial, lower-cost vs full-spec.

02
Schedule + permit
1 – 2 weeks

For HDB / condo work we coordinate with the managing agent on access + notice. SP Group coordination if the main supply needs interruption.

03
On-site rewire
2 – 5 days

Partial HDB rewire: 2 days. Full 4-room HDB: 3–4 days. Landed full rewire: 4–6 days. We keep power on at the DB level so you can still use the house in the evenings where possible.

04
Test + certify
Half day

Full insulation + continuity test, RCD trip-test, load-test each circuit. Signed certificate handed over. Photos of every junction box for your records.

05
Make-good + handover
Half day

Plaster, paint touch-up, clean-up. We walk you through every new breaker label, every socket, every change. 30-day workmanship warranty starts here.

Honest pricing

Four tiers, one quote up front.

We tell you which tier you actually need after the survey — not the most expensive one we can sell.

DB-box upgrade only
$400 – $900

Strip old DB box, fit new RCD + MCBs, relabel, certificate. Wiring untouched. 1-day job.

Old DB but wiring is otherwise fine
Most common
Partial rewire
$800 – $1,800

Targeted rewire of problem circuits (kitchen + bathroom, or one room). New DB-box included.

Specific area failing tests
Full HDB / condo rewire
$2,200 – $4,500

Every circuit replaced + new DB box + new sockets/switches throughout. 3–4 days on a 4-room.

Old flat, full refurb, or red-flag list above
Landed property full rewire
By survey

Quoted on-site after walkthrough. Typical 2-storey detached: $5,000 – $12,000 inc. DB box, sub-mains, earth-bonding.

Multi-storey or unusual layout
Frequently asked

Common questions, straight answers.

Don't wait for the scorch marks.
