Home rewiring in Tunbridge Wells? Voltrade electricians carry out partial and full rewires to modern standards with proper certification.
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.
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.

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 Kent built before 1970 are most likely to need rewiring.
A typical 3-bedroom Victorian and Edwardian properties alongside modern estates 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.
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.
Most homeowners stay in the property during a rewire. We keep at least one power circuit and lighting circuit live at all times where safely possible. The kitchen and bathroom are usually the last rooms completed.
