What does a rewire in Waltham Abbey involve?

A rewire replaces some or all of the electrical wiring in a house. It is rarely just a rewire; householders often use the opportunity to replace and add electrical items such as sockets, light switches and all our rewires include the installation of a new consumer unit.

A rewire should be done every 25 years or when a specific problem means that the wiring needs replacing, such as in the case of a flood or water damage. There are some signs that indicate a rewire might be needed including rubber-insulated wiring, because this has not been used since the early 1960s. If fuses blow regularly or there are scorch marks around plugs, this is also a sign that work needs to be done to make your electrical installation safe.

Other signs include:

• Flickering lights
• Constantly tripping RCD’s
• Burnt wires near fuse box
• Buzzing noises from electrical sockets
• Electrical appliances turning themselves on and off
