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 tripped 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  • Your consumer unit is outdated, with an old fuse box rather than a modern circuit breaker.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.

Full & Partial Rewiring Services

Adams Electrics is available for full and partial rewiring services to suit your property’s specific needs.

Full Rewires

A full rewire involves replacing all wiring, sockets, switches, and the consumer unit (fuse board) to ensure the electrical system is safe and meets the latest BS 7671 Wiring Regulations. This is typically required for older homes or commercial premises, properties undergoing major renovations, or buildings where the existing wiring is severely outdated or damaged.

Partial Rewires

For Devon properties needing selective upgrades, a partial rewire focuses on specific areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or extensions. This is a cost-effective way to improve safety and functionality without needing a full system overhaul.

Our rewiring services are carried out efficiently, minimising disruption to your Newton Abbot home or Torquay business while ensuring all work meets UK safety regulations.

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conduct an initial assessment and planning stage, evaluating the existing wiring and identifying any safety concerns or outdated components.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 electrical contractors 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.
