Electrical Rewiring Erith

Are you looking for an electrical company near you to complete a rewire? Old wiring will not only not work well but can prove to be a safety issue. Our electricians can complete partial or complete rewires to bring your property up to date with current regulations and future-proof it.

What are the signs you might need a rewire?

Signs that it might be time to have a rewire include electrical systems that are over two decades old. If your circuit breakers are frequently tripping, you notice strange smells or scorch marks coming for outlets, you use a lot of extension leads or lights are flickering or dimming, it is a good idea to call an electrician to take a look.

Old electrical systems can pose health and safety hazards. There will be an increased risk of electrical fires, electric shocks and overloading circuits.

What does rewiring involve?

Rewires involve replacing all parts of your electrical system, including all wiring, lighting, and outlets. The wiring will be routed, secured, and fitted to meet current safety standards. Rewiring can be quite a messy job, and many people will opt to have this done when they are not in their properties.
