Benefits of Rewiring Your Home or Business
- Improved Safety & Fire Prevention
Old and damaged wiring increases the risk of electrical fires. A full rewire replaces hazardous wiring, ensuring your property meets modern electrical safety standards. - Increased Energy Efficiency
New wiring supports energy-efficient lighting and smart home installations, reducing electricity waste and lowering your energy bills. - Compliance with UK Regulations
All new electrical installations must comply with BS 7671 wiring regulations and Part P of the Building Regulations. Rewiring ensures your property is up to date and compliant. - Increased Property Value
If you’re planning to sell or rent out your property, having a modern electrical system makes it more attractive to buyers and tenants. - Future-Proofing for Modern Appliances
With homes using more high-powered appliances than ever, outdated wiring may struggle to handle the load. A rewire ensures your home can safely support electric vehicle chargers, solar panels, and smart home systems.
