Slade Green rewiring services

Our team of electricians is ready to handle both full and partial rewires tailored to your specific needs.

What is the rewire process?

The duration of a home rewire depends on its size and complexity. Generally, rewiring a three-bedroom house can take anywhere from five to ten days, with older homes and commercial businesses often requiring more time to complete. Most rewiring projects involve our team of local electricians removing outdated or faulty wiring and replacing it with new, compliant cabling. This fresh cabling is routed through walls and floors.

What are the signs you need a rewire

Signs of old and potentially dangerous wiring include outdated systems such as fabric-coated, rubber, or lead-insulated cables, which indicate that rewiring is essential for safety. Frequent circuit breaker trips or blown fuses suggest an overloaded or faulty electrical system, often due to wiring unable to support modern appliances. Flickering or dimming lights can point to poor wiring connections or outdated systems that fail to maintain a steady current.

Situations such as power outages and sparking outlets require immediate attention to protect the safety of your home and loved ones.

When should I seek help from a 24/7 electrical company?

Common electrical emergencies include flickering or dimming lights, sparking or smoking outlets, circuit breakers that trip and will not reset, burning smells from outlets or appliances, and electrical shocks or tingles. Ignoring these issues can lead to severe consequences, including electrical fires, property damage, and personal injuries. Therefore, acting quickly when faced with an electrical emergency and seeking assistance from a professional emergency electrician is essential.

Crayford consumer unit upgrades

Do you require a new consumer unit or fuse board? Modern consumer units have Residual Current Devices (RCDs) to protect against electric shocks. Our electricians can evaluate your existing consumer unit and conduct a thorough safety analysis of its components and wiring.

The consumer unit regulates the electricity entering your property. Serving as the core of your electrical installation, GCL Electrical Contractors will install a new consumer unit that fully complies with the latest IET Wiring Regulations, ensuring optimal safety and performance.

What are the benefits of a new consumer unit?

Upgrading your consumer unit improves electrical safety, minimises the risk of fires, and ensures compliance with current regulations. This enhancement also enables the integration of modern safety features, such as Residual Current Device (RCD) protection and surge protection. These upgrades protect your property and its occupants and provide peace of mind, knowing that your electrical system meets today's safety standards.

Typically, installation takes about one day, although additional time may be necessary depending on access to the consumer unit and the installation of the required cabling.
