Electrical wiring does not last forever. Most wiring installed before the 1980s is likely approaching the end of its safe lifespan, and some older wiring systems (such as rubber-insulated cables or aluminium wiring) can pose a genuine safety risk.

A full or partial rewire brings your home up to the current BS 7671 wiring regulations, making it safer and more suitable for modern electrical demands like EV chargers, heat pumps, and high-power appliances.

Signs your home may need rewiring

Common indicators that a rewire is needed include old round-pin sockets or bakelite switches, cables with rubber or lead sheathing visible in the loft or under floors, frequent blown fuses or tripping circuits, burn marks or scorch marks around sockets, a tingling sensation when touching metal switches or appliances, and an EICR report flagging unsatisfactory results.

FAQ

How often should a house be rewired?

Wiring has a practical life of 25 to 30 years depending on installation quality and usage. An EICR every 10 years (or 5 for rental properties) checks the condition. In West Sussex properties with coastal flats, period cottages, and 1960s developments, earlier testing is advisable.

What happens if my rewire fails its test?

All our rewiring work is tested to BS 7671 before we issue the certificate. If an issue is found during testing, we fix it as part of the project at no extra cost. The certificate is only issued once everything passes.

How do I know if my house needs rewiring?

Key signs include: a fuse box rather than a modern consumer unit, rubber or fabric-covered wiring, round pin sockets, flickering lights, blown fuses, scorch marks around sockets, and no earth wire. Properties in West Sussex built before 1970 are most likely to need rewiring.

How long does a full rewire take?

A typical 3-bedroom coastal flats, period cottages, and 1960s developments takes 5 to 7 working days. Larger or older properties with complex layouts may take longer. We work room by room to minimise disruption and keep at least one circuit live where possible.

How much disruption does a rewire cause?

Rewiring requires access to walls, floors, and ceilings. Floorboards may need lifting and chases cut into plaster. We minimise visible damage but some redecoration will be needed afterwards. We clean up thoroughly at the end of each day.
