Signs you may need a rewire
Not sure whether your home needs rewiring? These are the tell-tale signs worth a closer look:
- Old rubber, fabric or lead-sheathed cabling
- A fuse board with rewireable fuses rather than modern breakers
- Frequent tripping or flickering lights
- Discoloured sockets or a burning smell
- Not enough sockets for how you live today
- You're renovating or extending
A rewire is one of the most valuable investments you can make in an older home: it removes a real fire risk, brings your electrics up to modern safety standards, and gives you the sockets and lighting that suit how you actually live. We’ll guide you through the options in plain English and stand over every metre of cable we install.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a rewire take?
It depends on the size of the home and whether it's a full or partial rewire, but a typical three-bed house is usually a matter of days rather than weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline with your quote.
Do I need to move out?
Not usually. We work room by room where possible and plan the job to keep your home liveable. For larger renovations we'll agree the best approach with you in advance.
Will the walls be a mess?
We work as cleanly as possible and make good as we go. While some chasing of walls is unavoidable in a rewire, we keep it tidy and leave the place clean.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes — every rewire is fully certified on completion, giving you documented proof the work meets the required standard. This matters for insurance, selling and peace of mind.
