What is an electrical rewire?

An electrical rewire involves replacing old, damaged, or outdated electrical wiring and components throughout a property. This includes cabling, sockets, switches, and consumer units to ensure the system meets current electrical regulations and safety standards. Residential rewiring is especially important in older homes where original wiring may no longer be safe or suitable for modern use. A complete electrical rewire improves reliability, reduces risk, and ensures your home remains safe and compliant for years to come. If you are unsure about the condition of your wiring, we can assess your system and advise on the most suitable solution.

WHY REWIRES MATTER

Why an electrical rewire is important

A safe and reliable electrical system is essential for protecting your home and the people living in it. Electrical rewiring plays a vital role in improving safety, efficiency, and long term usability, ensuring your property is ready for both current and future electrical needs.

Old electrical wiring can increase the risk of electrical fires, shocks, and faults. Rewiring removes unsafe electrical wiring and replaces it with modern materials designed to meet today’s safety standards.

Electrical regulations continue to evolve. A home rewire ensures your installation meets current electrical standards and complies with building regulations, giving you peace of mind.

Modern homes place greater demand on electrical systems. A full house rewire allows your home to safely support additional sockets, modern appliances, and smart home technology.

New wiring systems improve efficiency by reducing energy waste, helping to lower running costs while delivering consistent performance throughout the property.

WHY REWIRES MATTER

Why an electrical rewire is important

A reliable electrical system is vital for your home’s safety and efficiency as it ensures your home is safe, efficient, and future-ready.

Outdated wiring can cause electrical fires or shocks. Rewiring replaces old systems with safer, modern alternatives.

Stay up-to-date with current electrical standards and building codes.

Handle the demands of modern appliances, smart devices, and increased power needs.

Reduce energy waste and lower utility bills with improved wiring systems.

When do I need one?

There are several signs your property might need rewiring, including:

  • Flickering or dimming lights
  • Regularly tripping circuit breakers
  • Discoloured or scorched outlets
  • A burning smell near electrical outlets
  • Old or outdated wiring (e.g., aluminium or knob-and-tube wiring)

If you’re unsure, our professional electricians can perform an inspection to assess your electrical system.

A full rewire typically takes 3–10 days, depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the project. Partial rewires take less time. For example:

  • A one-bedroom flat may take 3–5 days
  • A larger family home may take up to 10 days

We’ll provide a detailed timeline during the initial consultation.

Most home insurance policies do not cover the cost of rewiring unless it is required due to an insured event like a fire or flood. It’s best to review your insurance policy or consult your provider for clarity.
Upgrading your electrical system could increase your property’s value and appeal to potential buyers. Modern wiring ensures safety and compliance with current building codes, making it an attractive feature.
Yes, we provide a comprehensive warranty on all rewiring projects. This includes parts and labour. Details of the warranty will be included in your contract.
Older homes built before the 1970s often have outdated wiring that doesn’t meet modern standards. If your home hasn’t been rewired in the last 30–40 years, it’s recommended to have it inspected.
