A rewire touches every part of your home, so it should be planned carefully and carried out neatly. We talk through what you want from the installation, agree the specification in advance, and keep you informed at every stage.
Electrical installations can deteriorate over time, and what was perfectly suitable when a property was built may not suit how a household uses electricity today. None of the points below automatically mean a property needs rewiring — they are simply common reasons homeowners ask an electrician to take a look.
Older electrical installations may no longer be suitable for the demands of a modern home.
Repeated faults, tripping circuits or unexplained electrical problems may need professional investigation.
Very old accessories or visibly damaged electrical fittings can indicate an ageing installation.
Major renovations can be an ideal opportunity to modernise the electrical system.
Heavy reliance on extension leads can indicate that the electrical installation no longer meets the household's needs.
Homeowners buying an older property may want the existing electrical installation professionally assessed.
Your consumer unit — most people still call it the fuse box — is where the incoming electricity supply is split into the separate circuits around your home. It holds the main switch and the protective devices that disconnect a circuit automatically under certain fault conditions.
Whether an upgrade is appropriate depends on the condition of the existing board and the wiring it feeds. That is why we test the installation first, rather than simply swapping equipment and hoping for the best.
Older-style fuse boxes may lack features found in modern consumer units.
If circuits regularly trip, the cause should be professionally investigated.
Electrical upgrades or renovations may require changes to the existing installation.
Modern households often use significantly more electrical equipment than properties originally had.
A qualified electrician can inspect the installation and advise whether improvements are appropriate.
Domestic electrical work of all sizes, from a single socket to a complete rewire.
Full domestic rewires, from planning the circuits to the final fix, testing and certification of the completed work.
Where only part of an installation needs attention, we can rewire specific circuits, rooms or areas of the property.
Replacement of older fuse boxes with modern consumer units, including the testing that goes with the work.
Methodical investigation of tripping circuits, dead sockets, intermittent faults and other electrical problems.
Replacing tired or damaged accessories, moving existing points and fitting modern USB or smart accessories.

We believe good electrical work is as much about communication as it is about cabling. You should know what is being done, why it is being done and what it will cost before anyone lifts a floorboard. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every job.
Genuine feedback from homeowners we have carried out electrical work for.
We needed to make our electrics safe after the storm. We phoned for a quote and next morning they were out. The job was completed to a very high standard and I would recommend them to anyone.
Zach came out the same day to quote for the job — communication was excellent and proper quote was sent the same day. Work started the following week and Zach was absolutely superb. Always on time and worked hard every day with minimum disruption. Work was of the highest quality and the house has been fully rewired. Nothing was a problem and every day the house was left spotless. Couldn't recommend enough. 10/10 in every respect.
Cannot fault the work. We asked for extra lights, etc and Zach had excellent ideas for making the outside look smart. New interior lights fitted and sockets. Zach worked around us when we had a problem sourcing some fittings. This was a huge job affecting every room but was completed with minimal disruption.
Zach messaged me the night before to confirm the agreed start date and time he would arrive. He set to work straight away and did the job within the agreed timescale. He kept me informed on how the job was going and always tidied up at the end of the day. The job required two days to do and I am very happy with the finished job.
Amazing job by Zach, no problem too big or small, excellent price and job thoroughly well done. Second time we've used the company and will continue to use in future for any electrics, gas or plumbing.
Very polite, very quick, great communication and very helpful.
