If you own a property that is between 25-30 years old, you may be in danger: The effects of poor or worn out wiring could be potentially devastating.
Even if the property you own is being renovated, it is essential that you know if any rewiring work is necessary, in order to alleviate any possible risks or hazards from faulty wires; faulty wires and appliances can also lead to injuries such as electrocution and potential fire hazards, which emphasises the importance of properly tending to and rewiring a property correctly.
Read on to find out more about how your property can be rewired quickly and efficiently with Adrians Electrical.
There are a number of noticeable factors when a property is in need of rewiring.
As mentioned before, a property that is 30 years old and has its original wiring will most likely need to be rewired, not just for safety & insurance reasons, but also in order to meet modern standards.
If you are interested in purchasing an older property, a thorough check must be completed by a licensed electrician before buying, to make sure the wiring is safe.
The recommendation for an inspection is every 10 years for a property owned by you and every five years for a rented property; if you are extending part of your house or converting it, all new and updated wiring will need to comply with the latest Building Regulations to ensure safety and security.
As well as improving safety in a household, rewiring also creates the chance to improve your quality of life. For example, a larger number of switches and plugs can be installed with a rewire, which means that the number of appliances in a household can increase, including televisions, radios and home computers.
There are several warning signs if you are unsure whether of not your property needs rewiring- circuit breakers that trip regularly are a major sign, as they can lead to an overload in current, which means that appliances will receive too much energy from the plug. In addition, flickering or dimming lights indicate a fault in the wiring including damaged or exposed wires.
If you spot any of these warning signs, call Adrians Electrical to get the best experience when rewiring your property.
One of the most frequent questions asked by clients is "How much does it cost to rewire a property?"
The cost is dependent on a number of factors that you will have to consider.
Costs and times are estimates based on previous projects completion and may vary depending on the complexity of the work required and the age of the property, please contact Adrians Electrical for a free detailed quotation for your property.
As a client, one of the most significant things to understand about rewiring is what is included in a full house rewire, as there will be changes in sockets and cables positions to comply with part M of the building regulation.
A full house rewire is made up of two processes: the first process is usually completed before walls are plastered and ideally should be done without furniture or carpets, so if you are moving into a new property, we would advise that you have the property rewired before adding furniture, to avoid any future problems.
Generally, this process is called the "First Fix"; actual wiring is installed as well as back boxes for all sockets and switches in your property.
This should only be done by a licensed electrician due to safety reasons. The second process is known as the "Second Fix" which is mainly made up of connecting the electrics by fitting the switches, sockets and lights. A consumer unit will also need to be connected, which you can find out more about on our "fuse board replacements" page. During a full house rewire, all existing wiring will need to be taken out and replaced with new wiring to ensure safety and alleviate any hazards. In addition, all sockets will be fixed, including on heat detectors, cooker points and lighting.
Although it is possible to do the job yourself, we highly recommend that you get a licensed, qualified electrician to rewire your property, as it will need to be verified under all circumstances by an electrician and building control will require notification of the rewire.
Rewiring a property is not for amateurs and can have serious consequences if not done properly, including fires and electrocution.
Not only could this put lives in danger, but insurance companies may not pay out in the event of a fire, due to the fact that the wiring was poorly and incorrectly done by an amateur.
