Do you think your House or Flat may need a rewire?
Use this quick checklist to assess the signs and know what to expect before booking a rewire.
Tick the boxes that apply to your House or Flat:
Section 1:
Signs You May Need a Rewire
- My House or Flat is over 30 years old
- I’ve never had a full rewire (or don’t know if it’s been done)
- My fuse box is outdated / has no RCD protection
- Lights flicker or dim when I use appliances
- Sockets spark or feel warm to the touch
- Fuses trip regularly
- I can see black rubber, cloth, or lead-covered wiring
- Sockets are mounted to skirting boards
- I’ve had a House or Flat Buyer report flag “electrical safety concerns”
Section 2:
Are You Planning Any of the Following?
- Kitchen or bathroom renovation
- Loft conversion or extension
- Installing a new consumer unit (fuse box)
- Adding new sockets, lighting or appliances
- Letting or selling the property and need certification
Section 3:
Have You Budgeted or Considered…
- Living in the House or Flat during works or staying elsewhere
- Plaster patching after the rewire
- Redecorating following electrical work
- Upgrades like USB sockets, LED lighting or smart switches
- Garden lighting, outdoor sockets or EV charger preparation
Scoring Guide:
- 0–3 ticks: You may not need a rewire right now but a free inspection will confirm this.
- 4–6 ticks: A partial rewire or consumer unit upgrade might be due.
- 7+ ticks: Strong signs your House or Flat likely needs a full rewire.
