When is a Rewire Necessary?

Over time, electrical wiring deteriorates, posing risks such as electrical faults, power surges, and fire hazards. New wiring may be required if:

  • Your property has old or faulty wiring, including rubber, fabric, or lead-insulated cables
  • You frequently experience flickering lights, blown fuses, or tripping circuits
  • The property has no modern earthing system, increasing the risk of electrical shocks
  • Your consumer unit is outdated, with an old fuse box rather than a modern circuit breaker
  • You are renovating or extending and need to upgrade the electrical infrastructure
  • The property hasn’t been rewired in over 25 years, meaning it may no longer meet current safety standards

If you notice any of these warning signs, a professional electrician must inspect your electrical system to determine whether a full or partial rewire is required.

The Benefits of Rewires

Investing in a professional rewire offers numerous advantages, including:

  • Enhanced Safety – Reduces the risk of electrical fires, shocks, and system failures
  • Regulatory Compliance – Ensures your electrical system meets the latest safety standards
  • Increased Energy Efficiency – Modern wiring reduces wasted electricity and improves system performance
  • Future-Proofing – Accommodates additional power demands from smart devices and new appliances
  • Higher Property Value – A rewired property is more attractive to buyers and tenants

Whether you require a full or partial rewire, Adams Electrics provides expert advice and a tailored approach, ensuring your electrical system is safe, functional, and future-ready.

What’s Involved in a Rewire?

Our rewiring process follows a structured approach to ensure efficiency and quality. First, we conduct an initial assessment and planning stage, evaluating the existing wiring and identifying any safety concerns or outdated components. Next, our electricians carry out the design and installation, creating a modern electrical system tailored to your property’s needs while fitting new wiring, sockets, and fixtures.

If required, we proceed with a consumer unit upgrade, replacing old fuse boards with modern RCD-protected consumer units to enhance safety. Finally, we conduct thorough testing and certification, ensuring all work meets safety standards before issuing an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) to confirm compliance.

With minimal disruption and a focus on quality, we ensure your new electrical system is reliable, efficient, and built to last.
