Complete House RewiringBuilt to Last Decades

A house rewire is the complete replacement of your property's electrical wiring, from the incoming supply to every socket, switch, and light fitting. It includes installing a new consumer unit (fuse box) with modern RCD protection, running new cables throughout the property, and providing full certification and Building Control registration.

A rewire is typically necessary when:

• Your wiring is over 25-30 years old and showing signs of deterioration
• You have old-style rubber or lead-sheathed cabling (pre-1970s)
• An EICR inspection has identified serious defects
• You're undertaking major renovation work
• Your current installation lacks adequate socket outlets or circuit capacity
• You want to install high-power appliances like EV chargers

Who needs rewiring services? Homeowners in older properties throughout Croydon, Bromley, Sutton, and the wider London area. Victorian, Edwardian, and 1950s-70s properties are particularly likely to need rewiring. Landlords preparing properties for sale or let also benefit from certified modern installations.

Old wiring doesn't just limit your electrical capacity — it actively endangers your home and family. Deteriorating insulation, inadequate earthing, and outdated protection systems create risks that increase with every passing year.

The real risks of postponing rewiring:

• Fire hazard: Old rubber and fabric insulation degrades over time, exposing conductors and creating fire risks. Overloaded circuits generate excessive heat in wiring never designed for modern electrical loads.
• Electric shock: Deteriorating earthing systems and lack of RCD protection mean faults that should trip safely can instead deliver dangerous or lethal shocks.
• Insurance issues: Many insurers exclude or limit cover for properties with wiring over a certain age. A fire caused by old wiring may result in a rejected claim.
• Property sale problems: Surveyors flag old wiring, and buyers negotiate significant reductions or walk away. A recent rewire adds value and removes barriers to sale.
• Inability to upgrade: Old installations can't safely support modern appliances, home offices, EV chargers, or smart home systems. You're limited by wiring designed for a different era.

Warning signs your wiring needs attention: Frequent blown fuses or tripped breakers, discoloured sockets or switches, burning smells, flickering lights, round-pin sockets, lack of earthing on metal fittings, or a fuse box with rewirable fuses instead of modern MCBs.

Not every property needs a complete rewire. We offer solutions ranging from targeted upgrades to full replacements, tailored to your property's condition and your requirements.

Full House Rewire

Complete replacement of all wiring throughout your property. Includes new consumer unit, all circuits renewed, new sockets, switches, and light fittings (or reconnection of existing). Essential for properties with original pre-1980s wiring showing deterioration.

Partial Rewire

Replacement of specific circuits or areas while retaining sound existing wiring. Suitable for properties where some circuits have been updated but others remain outdated, or where only certain areas need attention.

Consumer Unit Upgrade

Replacement of your fuse box with a modern consumer unit featuring RCD protection. Can often be done without full rewiring if your existing cables are in good condition. Significantly improves safety without the disruption of a complete rewire.

Extension and Loft Conversion Wiring

New electrical installations for extensions, loft conversions, and garage conversions. We design circuits that integrate with your existing installation and meet Building Regulations requirements.

Additional Circuits

Adding circuits for specific needs: dedicated cooker circuits, EV charger installations, home office circuits, or additional ring mains for socket capacity. These additions can often be made without disturbing the rest of your installation.
