Rewiring and fuse board upgrades for older homes.

Wiring wears out. Homes that have not been rewired in forty years or more often have brittle cable, too few circuits and a fuse board with no modern protection. A new board with RCD protection disconnects a fault in a fraction of a second, which old fuses cannot do.

We tell you honestly what needs doing now and what can wait, and we plan the work so you can stay in the house where possible.

What is included

What is included.

  • Condition check first

    Testing and inspection before we quote, so the price is for the work your house actually needs.

  • Fuse board replacement

    A new board with RCD or RCBO protection on every circuit, surge protection where appropriate, and every circuit labelled.

  • Full rewire

    New cabling, sockets, switches and light points throughout, with the layout updated for how you live now.

  • Partial rewire

    Replacing the circuits that have failed testing and leaving sound wiring in place.

  • Earthing and bonding

    Main earthing and bonding to water and gas brought up to current requirements.

  • Testing and certification

    Full testing and a Safe Electric completion certificate at the end of the job.

Process

How it works, step by step.

  1. 01

    Inspection

    We test the existing installation and photograph anything of concern, then go through the findings with you in plain language.

  2. 02

    Plan and fixed price

    A room-by-room plan: socket and switch positions, lighting, and the order of work. One fixed price.

  3. 03

    The rewire

    Floors and furniture are protected. We work room by room so you keep power to part of the house for as long as possible.

  4. 04

    Second fix and certificate

    After plastering, sockets and switches go on, everything is tested, and you get the completion certificate.

Pricing

What it costs.

A fuse board upgrade is usually a one-day job at a fixed price. Rewires are priced per house after an inspection.
