Electrical Services | Rewires & Fuse Board Upgrades

Full & Partial Rewires

Older properties often carry outdated wiring that no longer meets safety standards. A rewire replaces the lot safely and brings your home up to spec.

Why rewire?

Wiring degrades over decades. Cloth insulation cracks, connections loosen, and old systems lack the circuits and protection modern homes need. A rewire replaces all of it with modern cable and protection, reducing fire risk and electric shock hazard.

What happens

We run new cables through the walls (usually in trunking to keep disruption minimal), add new circuits for kitchen and bathrooms, upgrade socket and lighting layouts to match how you actually live, and test everything before we hand back the keys.

Full or partial

A full rewire covers the whole house. A partial rewire upgrades just the areas that need it most — the kitchen, bathrooms, or circuits that are overloaded. We assess your home and recommend what makes sense for your safety and budget.

Time & mess

A full rewire takes days, not weeks. We plan the route to minimise damage, make good any holes, and leave your home tidy. You'll get a completion certificate and we'll explain what to do if you notice anything afterwards.

Fuse Board & Consumer Unit Upgrades

Old fuse boards are a fire and shock hazard. A modern consumer unit with RCD and RCBO protection is safer, more reliable, and handles today's power demands.

Why upgrade?

Fuse boards rely on rewireable fuses that melt slowly — not fast enough to protect against serious electric shock or fire. A consumer unit has RCDs (residual current devices) that trip instantly if current leaks to earth, and RCBOs that protect individual circuits. That difference saves lives.

What gets replaced

The entire fuse board comes out and a modern consumer unit goes in its place, usually in the same spot. All your circuits are re-terminated, labelled clearly, and protected individually. The work takes a few hours and you'll have electricity back the same day.

Testing & certification

Every circuit is tested, every connection is checked, and you get a signed EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report). That certificate proves the work meets current safety standards — important for insurance, mortgage lenders, and peace of mind.

Cost & funding

An upgrade typically costs a few hundred pounds. If you rent out the property, building insurance often requires one — and some landlord insurance policies will reduce your premium after the work is done. We'll give you a fixed quote before we start.

General Electrical Work

Beyond rewires and boards, we handle all the smaller jobs that keep homes and businesses running safely.

Extra sockets & circuits

Kitchen extension, bathroom upgrade, garden shed — we run new circuits and add sockets where you need them, properly protected and to code.

Lighting installations

Pendant fittings, downlights, outside lights, dimmer switches. We handle the circuits, fit the fittings, and make sure it all works safely.

Garage & outbuilding wiring

Sheds, garages, workshops — we design and install circuits to suit what you use the space for, with protection appropriate to the conditions.

Fault-finding & repairs

A circuit that keeps tripping, an outlet that's dead, flickering lights — we track down the problem and fix it properly, not with a temporary patch.

Landlord electrical safety checks

An EICR inspection of your rental property to comply with the regs. We test every circuit, report any faults, and give you the paperwork your tenants deserve.

Small commercial work

Shops, offices, workshops — we install and maintain electrical systems to keep your business running safely and reliably.

How a Job Runs

From your first enquiry to the moment we hand you the keys, here's what to expect.

1. You describe the job

Fill in the quote form with details of what needs doing — a rewire, a board upgrade, extra sockets, anything else. Tell us about your property, what's urgent, and any concerns you have.

2. We assess

We arrange a site visit (or for simpler jobs, a phone chat) to see the work ourselves. We look at what you have, understand what you need, and think through the best approach.

3. Fixed quote

We send you a written quote with a single price — no hidden costs, no surprises. You know exactly what you're paying before any work starts.

4. Scheduled work

We agree on a date and time that suits you. We arrive on schedule, do the job tidily, keep disruption to a minimum, and leave your home as clean as we found it.

5. Testing & sign-off

Before we finish, we test every circuit and connection. You get a signed certificate proving the work meets current safety standards and complies with regulations.

6. Follow-up

We explain what we've done, how to use any new systems (like a new board), and what to do if you spot anything odd. We're here if you have questions.
