What is a home rewire?

Fully rewiring a house will require all switches, sockets, and fittings to be replaced and require new wiring through the structure of the property.

Why would I need a full or partial home rewiring?

All electrical installations will deteriorate over time. It is highly recommended for systems over 25 years old to be checked by certified electricians at regular intervals. Of all the causes of electrical fires, old or faulty wiring is the most common culprit, so in the interest of keeping your property safe, it is best to diagnose problems early.

Full or partial rewiring?

Your electrician may deem that fully rewiring the property is not necessary and remedial action would only consist of partially rewiring the electrical systems. This is usually less time consuming, less invasive, and less expensive than a full rewire.

When should a rewire be performed?

  • If the outcome of your EICR test requires remedial action
  • If new circuits are required to be installed
  • If changes have been made to the structure of the property
  • If your property has been subject to flood or fire damage
  • If the electrical system in the house is presenting faults.

Can I perform a home rewire myself?

Performing a rewire without a certified electrician can be extremely dangerous as you expose yourself and your property to risk of electric shock and fire. In addition to this, you must make a Building Regulations application, and have the work that you performed inspected both before and after by a certified electrician.

How are wet areas related to home rewiring?

Restrictions exist on electrical work in wet areas (bathrooms etc.) where there is the greatest danger of electrocution. No power sockets are permitted other than shaver sockets, away from the splash zone from showers, and switches require pull cord operation. The I.E.E. Wiring regulations (BS 7671: 2001 Section 601) outlines the specific criteria that a property must fulfil in order to have a safe wet area.
