House Rewiring in Streatham
Update The Wiring in Your Home or Office in Streatham
Period properties in Streatham and Dulwich have great charm and character. They are a wonderful investment, and make a definitive statement about you and your lifestyle. But you need to protect your investment. Period features can often disguise obsolete and possibly dangerous wiring and fittings. Even more recently built properties should be inspected when you move in and when you plan any improvements.
You can’t simply rely on your survey to pick up any electrical problems that might exist. MD Bespoke Solutions offer a quick, efficient and sympathetic house rewiring service, allowing your home to retain its period charms, bring its safety standards firmly into the 21st century, and give you perfect peace of mind.
How can I tell I need the House Rewiring?
Some things are obvious. If the power sockets are the old round pin type and/or located in the skirting board, if the light switches are the old, black, round toggle switch type, if the light flex from the ceiling is braided, then you can be fairly sure that the wiring is very old and may even be dangerous. Less obviously, if there are very few power sockets in the rooms, and they’re only single sockets, again the installation could be quite old and in need of attention. Clearly, if fittings are showing signs of damage, these should be inspected and replaced as soon as possible.
As a rule, House Rewiring should be undertaken every 25 years, but if regular inspections and maintenance by qualified electricians take place, then a full rewiring can be avoided. If you’re uncertain about your property, call MD Bespoke Solutions and we can arrange an inspection and make recommendations based on what we find.
Domestic Electrical Testing
All single occupancy houses should have their electrics tested every 10 years. If they’re rented out, or have had several owners, then it needs to be done more often. Some mortgage lenders will insist that it be done before tenants move in, and insurance companies may refuse to pay out if the testing hasn’t been carried out to their satisfaction. These inspections must be carried out by qualified electricians, and all MD Bespoke Solutions electricians are suitably accredited to undertake these inspections.
How much will a House Rewiring cost?
Firstly, you might not need a full House Rewiring. If regular inspections and maintenance have been carried out, some problems may be solved by a partial rewiring. But, if a full House Rewiring is needed then it needs to be done by fully qualified electricians. This is not a job for a DIY enthusiast, however knowledgeable. If it’s not done properly and all the relevant certificates not provided, then you could be putting you and your home at risk. It is a big project. But MD Bespoke Solutions will firstly come and inspect the house and the electrics, and then provide a written quote for all the work that will need to be done. Only when you’ve approved the quote will work commence, so there are no nasty surprises. And we’ll work with you to complete the project with as little disturbance to your home and way of life as is possible.
