A house rewire is a major job but if the wiring in your home is old or inadequate, then a rewire could be an urgent safety issue. The first thing to check is the cables if you have black-coloured cables entering your fuse board, this is an immediate sign your electrics need checking. Modern electrical cabling is either white or grey and coated with PVC, while older cabling used to be covered in rubber, which decays over time. This poses a real risk of fire of electric shocks.

Other things to look out for include:

• A fuse board with replaceable fuse wires
• Regularly blowing fuses
• Flickering lights
• Round-pin sockets and plugs
• The use of lots of extension leads and plug adaptors
• Sockets and plugs with scorch marks
• A persistent burning smell and no identifiable source

Modern houses place a far higher demand on the electrical system than in years gone by, so if your wiring is old, this is an accident waiting to happen. It is also of paramount importance to get your electrics updated before trying to sell your house, or buying a house. Read our blog about homebuyer electrical testing.  If you have concerns that your electrical system is old, it is essential to get a qualified electrician to look at it; this is not a job for an amateur and by law, a Part P electrician needs to do the work.

We undertake full rewires and partial upgrades and one of our electricians can come and give you a free quote. When we visit you, we can discuss in detail your requirements and talk you through how we would rewire your property. For more details, please call 020 8265 2061 or 07476 661 777.
