Full & Partial Rewires
When is a Rewire Needed?
Electrical installations degrade over time, and outdated wiring can become a serious safety hazard. If your property still has old wiring (such as rubber-insulated cables, fabric-covered wires, or an old fuse box), frequent issues like flickering lights, tripping breakers, or burning smells may indicate it’s time for a rewire.
​
-
Full Rewire – Recommended for older properties (typically 25+ years) or when the entire electrical system is unsafe or inefficient. A full rewire replaces all wiring, sockets, switches, and often the consumer unit (fuse box) to meet modern safety standards.
-
Partial Rewire – Suitable when only specific circuits (e.g., kitchen, bathroom, or an extension) need upgrading while the rest of the system is still in good condition.

Why a Rewire is Essential?
Old or faulty wiring increases the risk of electric shocks, fires, and power failures. A rewire improves safety, enhances energy efficiency, and ensures your home can handle modern electrical demands. Plus, it’s a legal requirement for rental properties to meet wiring standards.
