Re-Wiring

Why you might need electrical rewiring

Your home’s wiring is the hidden backbone of the electrical system. Older installations may no longer be fit for purpose, especially with modern appliances, increased socket demand and updated safety regulations. A full rewiring brings you up-to-date, protects lives and property, and adds long-term value.

Do I Need a Rewire? Key signs to look out for

If your property is older or showing signs of electrical wear and tear, it may be time to consider a rewire. Outdated or deteriorating wiring can pose a serious fire and safety risk, so it’s important to spot the warning signs early. You should arrange a professional electrical inspection if you notice any of the following:

 

  • Your property is 25–30+ years old and has never been rewired: Over time, the rubber-based or early plastic insulation used in older wiring naturally breaks down, becoming brittle or cracked. This deterioration can lead to short circuits, tripping, or even electrical fires. Older wiring systems often can’t cope with modern electrical demands and may no longer meet current safety standards.
  • You have an outdated fuse box or no RCD protection. Old consumer units with rewirable fuses or metal casings, especially with no RCDs (safety trip switches), are a strong indicator that your electrics could be 30–40+ years old and in need of updating.
  • Lights frequently flicker or dim. If lights dip when appliances switch on, or circuits regularly trip, it could signal overloaded or failing wiring.
  • Sockets and switches look old or damaged. Signs such as brittle or yellowing plastic, scorch marks, warmth to the touch, or a burning smell are urgent red flags.
  • Bedroom lights are placed near windows, not centrally. This was common in homes from the 60s–90s and can indicate an outdated wiring layout.
  • There are very few plug sockets in each room. Older homes often have single sockets, leading to heavy reliance on extension leads — a known fire hazard.
  • You’re renovating or extending your home. If you’re planning a new kitchen, loft conversion or extension, it’s the ideal time to rewire before walls and ceilings are finished.

Why Rewiring Your Property Matters

Older fuse boards, such as those from the 1960s–2000s, often used different casing materials over the decades: metal in the 1960s, wood or plastic in the 1970s, metal again in the 1980s and 1990s, plastic in the 2000s, and modern metal-cased units now in the 2020s.

 

The key issue isn’t the casing itself, but the lack of RCD (Residual Current Device) protection. Without RCDs, your circuits don’t have adequate protection against electric shocks or fire hazards caused by earth faults. If your consumer unit still uses rewirable fuses or has no RCD protection, it’s a strong indicator that your system needs upgrading. Rewiring your home is one of the most important electrical upgrades you can make, especially in older properties across Northampton. Over time, wiring naturally deteriorates, and outdated electrical systems simply weren’t designed to handle the number of appliances, chargers, and technology we rely on today. A professional rewire ensures your home is not only safer, but also compliant with the latest electrical regulations and capable of supporting modern living.

A full or partial rewire can help to:

 

  • Protect your home from electrical fires and shocks
    Old or damaged wiring is one of the most common causes of household electrical fires. Rewiring provides a vital layer of protection for your family, your property, and your belongings.
  • Bring your electrics up to current safety standards
    Modern wiring, consumer units, and RCD/RCBO protection reduce the risk of faults and ensure your installation meets current BS 7671 electrical regulations.
  • Support today’s electrical demands
    With more devices and appliances in the average home than ever before, rewiring ensures your circuits can cope, helping to prevent tripping, overheating, and overloaded sockets.
  • Improve everyday convenience
    A rewire allows you to rethink the layout of your sockets, lighting, and switches. That means more plug points, better-placed lighting, and a setup that suits your lifestyle.
  • Future-proof your home
    Whether you’re planning renovations, smart home upgrades, or simply want peace of mind for years to come, a modern electrical system gives you a safe and reliable foundation.

Investing in a rewire is ultimately about safety, peace of mind, and protecting your property for the future. If your electrics are ageing or showing signs of wear, it’s wise to seek professional advice sooner rather than later.

House Rewire FAQs

A house rewire is the partial or full replacement of your existing electrical accessories and wiring. This is often due to old install methods not complying with new safety regulations and best practice guides, or due the PVC sheathing of the old cabling degrading resulting in a fault. It is recommended a full property rewire is completed every 25-30 years to ensure you are well protected.

That depends on the size of the property, whether it’s occupied, the complexity of installation, and wall/ceiling finishes. Your quote will include a realistic timescale.

Yes, a modern, certified electrical installation gives significant peace of mind, can help with resale and may influence insurance terms.

Yes, but partial occupancy may slow the job. We take great care to keep living areas safe and usable throughout.

Because a full rewire requires materials, labour, testing, certification and often cosmetic reinstatement (plastering, decorating). We base the quote on property size, layout and specification.
