Why Rewiring is Essential for Your Property’s Safety and Efficiency
Do you have an old Electrical system? Wiring becomes less efficient and can be a safety risk as wiring ages. If your property has outdated or damaged wiring, it may not be able to handle the power demands of modern-day living.
Rewiring ensures that your property aligns with current safety standards, can improve energy efficiency, and reduces the risk of electrical faults. Additionally, Rewiring allows for adding more circuits and appliances and ensures power is distributed more efficiently across your electrical system. Rewiring also future-proofs your home or business for evolving electrical needs.
Signs Your Property Needs Rewiring
Here are some common signs that your property needs Rewiring.
Frequent Circuit Breaker Tripping
If your circuit breakers regularly trip, it may indicate that your current wiring cannot handle the load or is deteriorating.
Flickering or Dimming Lights
Lights that flicker can point to electrical wiring problems, often caused by loose connections or outdated circuits.
Old or Outdated Wiring
If your property hasn’t been Rewired in the past 25-30 years, you may need a Rewire.
Old Fusebox
An old fuse box with traditional wire fuses indicates that your property needs Rewiring. Old fuse boxes lack the safety features of modern Consumer Units and circuit breakers.
Burning Smells or Scorch Marks
Burning smells or scorch marks around sockets can indicate a dangerous electrical fault that could lead to a fire. Old wiring may be the culprit.
Overloaded or Insufficient Sockets
It may be time to rewire if you rely on extension leads to plug in multiple devices or if your sockets are frequently overloaded. More Sockets can be installed, so you don’t have to rely on extension leads.
Home Extensions
Full or partial Rewiring is often necessary if you have an extension, as it ensures the new space is safely integrated into your existing electrical system, providing sufficient power and reducing the risk of overloading circuits.
The Benefits of Rewiring
Rewiring offers a range of benefits, both for safety and practicality:
Enhanced Safety
Outdated wiring systems can be an electrocution or fire hazard. Rewiring your property ensures that all circuits and connections are safe and up to modern safety standards (18th Edition BS 7671), significantly reducing the risk of electrocution or electrical fires.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Old electrical systems are less efficient and more prone to energy loss, often leading to higher energy bills. By upgrading to a modern rewiring system, your home will handle power distribution better and be optimised to handle appliances more energy-efficiently, helping to lower running costs.
Future-Proofing Your Property
Modern homes require more power to support smart technology, home entertainment systems, and electric vehicles. Rewiring ensures your property is future-ready, providing sufficient capacity for new and upcoming electrical demands.
More Circuits to Support Increased Usage
As homes and businesses grow, so does the electricity demand. Rewiring allows you to add more circuits, preventing overloading and ensuring your property is equipped to handle additional appliances and new technology as it emerges.

We offer rewiring services in Braintree to meet your property’s unique needs. Whether you need a full rewire or a single room updated, our Electricians will ensure your electrical system is safe, efficient, and future-proof.
Free Rewiring Survey
We offer free surveys to help us understand the condition of your wiring and identify any issues or risks that need addressing. We carefully assess the age and condition of your wiring, checking for wear and tear, outdated materials, or any faults that compromise safety.
Our team will pinpoint potential hazards, such as exposed wires, inadequate grounding, or overloaded circuits, which may not be visible to the untrained eye. Based on our inspection, we provide a clear, detailed report and recommend the best solutions for your rewiring needs.
Customised Rewiring Solutions for Your Needs
No two properties are identical, so we provide customised Rewiring solutions tailored to your needs. Whether you live in a listed building or a modern property, we adapt our services to fit your requirements.
We take into consideration factors such as:
- The age of the property and its existing wiring system
- The electrical demands of your home or business
- The design and layout of your property
- Any future electrical needs, such as home automation or electric vehicles
Our team works with you to create a rewiring plan that suits your schedule, budget, and long-term goals.
Full Rewiring
Full Rewiring involves replacing the entire wiring system, upgrading the Consumer Unit, and adding lighting, sockets and switches.
Partial Rewiring
We offer partial rewiring services if only certain areas of your property need attention, such as the kitchen, bathroom, or newly built extensions.
No-Obligation Quote
After the survey, we’ll provide a detailed quote outlining all the work required and clear pricing so you can make an informed decision.

Once you’ve approved the plan, we can book a date for the work to start. We ensure that all Rewires are carried out safely, efficiently, and with low disruption to your daily life. Our Electricians use only high-quality materials and the latest tools to complete the work to industry standards.
Minimal Disruption
We understand that Rewiring can be disruptive, so we work efficiently to complete the job with as little inconvenience to you as possible. Our team will ensure that all areas are kept tidy and you’re always aware of our progress.
Post-Service Checks and Safety Verification
Once the Rewiring is complete, we conduct a series of checks to ensure the system works correctly and safely. Our Electricians will ensure all circuits work properly and meet safety standards.
Certification and Documentation
After the work is completed and all testing is passed, we’ll issue you an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), which verifies that the Rewiring complies with the current British Standard for electrical safety (BS 7671) and provides detailed information on the safety and legal compliance of the work carried out.
