Signs your property may need rewiring
Do any of these apply to your property?
There are several indicators that a property’s wiring may be approaching the end of its safe working life or may have already developed problems.
Old rubber or fabric wiring
If you have an older property with rubber or fabric-insulated wiring, this is a strong sign that rewiring is overdue, as these materials degrade significantly with age.
Frequently tripping circuit breakers
Circuit breakers that trip regularly are a sign your wiring cannot handle the electrical demand being placed on it and needs professional attention.
Flickering lights
Persistent flickering lights throughout a property are often a symptom of loose wiring connections or circuits that are failing and should not be ignored.
Discoloured sockets or switches
Discolouration around sockets or switches is a warning sign of heat damage caused by faulty or overloaded wiring and requires immediate attention.
Burning smell near electrical fittings
A persistent burning smell near electrical fittings is a serious warning sign that should be investigated by a qualified electrician without delay.
Old-style fuse box
A fusebox that still uses old-style fuses rather than modern circuit breakers is a sign your wiring warrants professional attention and likely needs updating.
Not sure if you need a rewire? An EICR inspection can confirm whether rewiring is necessary and identify the scope of any work required. Our electricians can carry out an EICR and advise you honestly on the best course of action.
Full and partial rewiring
The right solution for your property
Not every rewiring project involves replacing every cable in a building. Our electricians will assess your property and provide clear, honest guidance on the scope of work required.
Partial rewire
When part of your wiring needs attention
In some cases, a partial rewire is the appropriate solution. Our electricians will assess the specific areas and recommend targeted work.
Full rewire
When the whole installation needs replacing
In other cases, particularly in older properties where the wiring throughout is in poor condition, a full rewire is the safest and most practical course of action.
Our honest approach: Our electricians will assess your property and provide clear, honest guidance on the scope of work required, giving you the information you need to make a confident decision.
