Rewires & Upgrades

Older wiring made safe, modern and ready for today's demands.

Older homes often have wiring and fuse boards that weren't designed for heat pumps, EV chargers or the number of appliances we use today.

Rewiring and electrical upgrades for existing homes

Older wiring and fuse boards weren't designed for heat pumps, EV chargers or modern appliance loads.

We carry out full and partial rewires room by room, upgrade fuse boards to modern RCBO protection and test everything before we leave.

What our rewire service includes

  • Full and partial rewires
  • Consumer unit upgrades
  • RCD and RCBO protection
  • Earthing and bonding
  • Periodic inspection and testing
  • Fault finding
  • Additional sockets and circuits
  • Electrical reports

Signs you may need a rewire

  • Old fuse box with rewireable fuses
  • Breakers tripping regularly
  • Scorch marks or warm sockets
  • Flickering lights
  • Not enough sockets
  • Wiring over 25 years old

Is this you?

Small signs turn into big bills.

Electrical problems rarely fix themselves. Catch them early and the job is usually simpler and safer.

Repair or replace? Which material?

Full rewire or partial upgrade? The honest difference.

Not every older home needs a full rewire. We test first and recommend only what's needed.

FAQs

Your questions, answered.

A typical three-bed house takes around five to seven working days depending on size and access.

Usually, yes. We work room by room and make sure you have power and lighting at the end of every day.

If you still have rewireable fuses or no RCD protection, an upgrade is strongly recommended. We'll check it on our visit.
