Many older properties in the UK still have outdated wiring systems that can pose serious safety risks. If your home was built before the 1980s and has never been re-wired, there is a good chance the electrical system needs upgrading to meet current safety standards.
Signs that your property may need a re-wire include old rubber or lead-sheathed cables, round pin sockets, a lack of earthing, frequent blown fuses, and a dated fuse box without modern RCD protection. If you notice any of these warning signs, it is important to have your wiring assessed by a qualified electrician as soon as possible.
A full re-wire involves replacing all of the existing wiring, sockets, switches, and the consumer unit in your property. New cables are run throughout, and the electrical system is brought fully up to date with the current BS 7671 18th Edition Wiring Regulations. The work is carried out in stages to minimise disruption, and we work closely with you to plan the most convenient schedule.
For properties where only certain areas need attention, a partial re-wire may be more appropriate. This targets specific circuits or rooms that require upgrading while leaving compliant wiring in place.
All of our re-wiring work is completed by fully qualified, NICEIC-approved electricians. Every re-wire comes with full testing and certification, including an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate. We notify local building control on your behalf, so you have complete documentation for your records, insurance, and any future property sale.
