Property Rewiring
Modernize your home's electrical infrastructure for absolute safety and to meet the demands of modern living.
Safe, Modern Electrical Infrastructure
Older properties often rely on electrical systems designed decades ago—long before the invention of the modern appliances we use daily. Old wiring is not just inconvenient due to a lack of sockets; it is a significant fire risk and safety hazard.
If your property is over 25 years old and hasn't been updated, or if you still have old rubber, fabric, or lead-insulated cabling, a rewire is essential. Grays Electrical specializes in both full and partial house rewires, bringing your property up to current BS7671 standards.
A rewire is a major project, but our experienced team manages the process carefully. We plan the cable routes meticulously, minimize disruption to the fabric of your home, and ensure you have the correct number of sockets and lighting points exactly where you need them.
Signs You Need a Rewire
- •Old-style fuse board with replaceable wire fuses rather than modern trip switches.
- •Sockets mounted in skirting boards or round pin sockets.
- •Cables coated in black rubber, lead, or fabric (modern cables are PVC coated, usually grey or white).
- •Flickering lights, blown fuses, or a slight burning smell near sockets.
- •A lack of sockets, leading to dangerous daisy-chaining of extension leads.
What's Included in a Full Rewire?
- A brand new, modern consumer unit with RCD protection
- Complete replacement of all electrical circuits
- New sockets and switches (in finishes of your choice)
- New modern lighting circuits and pendants
- Hardwired smoke and heat alarms
- Full earthing and bonding upgrades
- Complete testing and certification documentation
- Building Control notification (Part P)
Planning a Renovation?
The best time to rewire a house is before any plastering or decorating takes place. If you are renovating a property, installing a new kitchen, or building an extension, contact us early in the planning phase to integrate the electrical design perfectly.
