Full House Rewire Service
Looking for full home rewire service in Essex or London? Our NICEIC-approved electricians offer safe, certified rewires with a 5-year guarantee.
What Is a Full House Rewire?
A full rewire involves removing all the old electrical wiring and fittings and replacing them with new, safe, and up-to-date ones. This includes:
- New electrical cabling throughout.
- A new metal consumer unit (fuse box) with RCBO and Surge protection.
- Replacement of sockets, switches, light fittings, and hard wired smoke alarms
- Wiring for all appliances and kitchen circuits
- Testing and certification to BS7671 standards
You can learn more about this on our What Is Electrical Rewiring? page.
When Should You Consider a Full Rewire?
If your home was built over 25 years ago and hasn’t been rewired since, it’s a good idea to have it inspected. You may need a full rewire if you’ve noticed:
- An old fuse box with no RCD protection
- Plug sockets on skirting boards
- Flickering lights or tripping circuits
- Burning smells or discoloured outlets
- Old-style rubber or fabric wiring
