Electrical Rewire
Whether you’re renovating, noticing faults, or just want peace of mind, a full or partial rewire is the smart solution.
What is an Electrical Rewire?
Electrical rewire is the process of replacing old, faulty, or outdated electrical wiring in a property to ensure it is safe, compliant, and capable of meeting modern electrical demands. Over time, wiring deteriorates and becomes a potential fire hazard, especially in older houses or Flats that weren’t built to support today’s energy usage.
At Simply Home Rewires, electrical rewires are all we do. We specialise in delivering high-quality, stress-free, rewire services for Houses and Flats, shops, and offices, backed by our 5-Year Guarantee and NICEIC certification.

Why is an Electrical Rewire Important?
Safety First
Old or damaged wiring is a leading cause of House or Flat fires in the UK. rewire ensures that your electrical system is up to modern safety standards.
Modern Living Demands
From smart TVs to high-power appliances, today’s House or Flats require robust electrical systems. rewire helps support your modern lifestyle without overloading old circuits.
Legal & Insurance Compliance
Many insurers require that electrical systems are up-to-date. If you’re a landlord or buying/selling a property, a rewire can be essential for compliance.
When Does a Property Need A Rewire?
You might need a rewire if:
- If Your House or Flat is over 25-30 years old and hasn’t been updated.
- You have an old-style fuse box instead of a modern consumer unit.
- Plugs or switches feel hot or sparky.
- You experience frequent tripping of breakers or blown fuses.
- You notice discoloured sockets or exposed wiring.
- Your personal residences should be tested every 10 years and any rental properties every 5 years to check for defects
If you’re unsure, we offer free advice and inspections to help you decide whether a rewire is necessary.
