Before recommending any work, we assess the existing installation and discuss your plans. We then explain whether you need rewiring, a consumer unit replacement or further investigation, so you can make an informed decision.

Why Consider Rewiring or a Consumer Unit Replacement?

The right approach depends on the condition of your installation. Therefore, we assess your property before recommending a repair or replacement.

Address Deteriorated Wiring

Damaged or deteriorated wiring may need replacement. After assessing the installation, we explain the affected areas and the work required.

Support Your Renovation

A renovation gives you an opportunity to review your electrical layout. For example, we can discuss socket and lighting positions before other work progresses.

Replace an Existing Fuse Board

A consumer unit replacement can update the equipment that distributes and protects your electrical circuits. However, we also check the existing installation to identify any associated work.

Understand Your Options

You may be unsure whether your property needs a full rewire. By assessing the wiring and discussing your concerns, we help you understand the next step.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know whether my property needs rewiring?

The age of your property alone does not determine whether it needs a rewire. Instead, we assess the condition of the installation and explain any recommended work.

Not necessarily. Before replacing the consumer unit, we assess the existing installation. If we identify issues with the wiring, we explain any additional work required.

Yes. In fact, discussing your electrical requirements early can help coordinate the rewire with other trades. We can also review socket and lighting positions as part of the project.

Rewiring can involve lifting floorboards and accessing wiring within walls or ceilings. Therefore, we discuss access, power interruptions and any making good arrangements before starting.

Yes. Alongside domestic projects, we provide commercial rewiring and consumer unit replacements. Before agreeing a schedule, we discuss how your business uses the premises.
