Stay safe and rewire your Penge property

Everyone adores beautiful period buildings that are full of charm, history and character but while the exterior of a property might wow you, a home like this may pose a risk to you and your family if the electrical wiring is old and worn out on the inside. As well as not meeting current safety standards and causing minor inconveniences like blown fuses, old electrics could put you at the risk of fire and electric shocks. Even though having your home completely rewired can be expensive, it’s a step that could potentially save your home and your life. At MD Bespoke Solutions, we can complete full and partial rewires, alongside a host of other electrical services to customers in Penge, Birkbeck and the surrounding regions.

If your house is more than 30 years old, it is likely that it will need some work to bring it up to date. We can complete a free visual inspection and advise you whether we think a full inspection is needed to ascertain how much work needs to be done to bring it up to date. Warning signs include constantly blowing fuses, flickering or dimming lights, a persistent burning smell, black rubber-coated cables and discoloured plugs. See an example of a complete rewire following water damage on our blog.

A full rewire by our NICEIC approved and Part P electrical contractors normally includes:

• Main and consumer unit upgrade
• Earthing upgrade
• Replacement of light fittings
• Replacement of power outlets and switches
• Removal and disposal of all old wiring, fixtures and fittings

Please ring our office today to speak to one of our electricians on 020 8265 2061 or 07476 661 777.

Consumer unit upgrades in Penge

Upgrading an old fuse board with a new consumer unit that contains residual current devices is a service we complete regularly for many customers in your area. The 17th edition of wiring regulations, introduced in 2008, requires that most circuits in domestic properties be protected by an RCD. It is often a better idea, both practically and financially, to replace the current fuse board than try to upgrade it.
