WHEN SHOULD I REWIRE MY HOME?
We recommend checking your electric wiring in your home every 10 years. If it is a property that you rent out, such as a holiday cottage, holiday home, Air BnB property or on the rental market, then you need to ensure you check this every 5 years.
If your home or a home you have just bought has not been rewired in the last 25 - 30 years, you will probably need to get an electrician to come and rewire it for you. This will upgrade your electrical system in your home, bringing up to the current standards. If you don't the wires can be dangerous and can lead to faults, trips, electric shocks and even fires.
If you are considering a complete renovation in a home, this will likely constitute a material alteration and therefore, it is likely that you will need to rewire some, if not all of your electrics in your home. Talk to us about how we can help you with this.

HOW CAN I TELL IF MY HOME IS REWIRED?
To check if your home has been recently rewired, you can give us a call or drop us an email and we can come and do a property check for you. Alternatively, you can check if your home has been rewired by looking at exposed parts of the wiring and by the electricity meter and fuse box (also now known as the consumer unit).
You are allowed to ask to see this when looking around a property. If you are thinking of buying a home then we always say ask to see this first. Usually, if there is an old-fashioned-style fuse box with big white ceramic-style fuses, then the chances are the property will need rewiring. There are other things to look out for and know, give us a shout and we can explain these to you.

WHAT IF MY HOME HAS NOT BEEN REWIRED?
Unless the wiring is the modern PVCu coated type, then a rewire of your electrics in your home is likely to be needed. When looking, if you see any old rubber insulated cabling, fabric insulated cabling or lead insulated cabling then it needs replacing. This is because the insulation can rot and break down. This can lead to short circuiting which is the one of the most common fire hazards and can also lead to potential electrocution. We are professional electricians, qualified to identify and look at this for you. Please do not try to look if you are unsure, please give us a call or email and let us come and take a look for you.
