Full rewire Cottingham

Reasons why you might need a full rewire

If you’ve noticed warning signs around your property in Cottingham, you may need a full rewire. We encourage clients to reach out to Electrician Beverley if you notice any of the following:

• Electric shocks when turning appliances on.
• Sparking from outlets.
• Flickering or dimming lights.
• Damage to outlets or switches.
• Fuse box tripping.
• Electrical humming sound around your home.

In some cases, a full rewire at your Cottingham home may be essential if the wiring is outdated and deteriorated. Electrical wiring around 25-30 years will fail to meet the safety standards required in modern wiring.

Older wiring also comes with greater fire risk, overheating of circuits. Outdated insulation around cabling can also be potential fire hazards.

Benefits of a full rewire

A full rewire in Cottingham would give you the peace of mind that the electrical installations at your home are safe, reliable and modern. We ensure that all wiring work is in line with BS7671, the regulations set for all electrical installations in the UK. Not only will you be able to protect yourself against hazards such as electric shocks, you’ll be able to prevent damage to electrical appliances around your home.

Modern wiring is efficient as all elements are intact and of a better quality so you’ll be improving the energy efficiency at your home too.

A full rewire is a great way to future-proof your home, ensuring the wiring can handle the demands of high power required for systems such as smart homes and solar panels.

Should you one day put your Cottingham based property on the market, potential buyers want the confidence that electrical wiring is compliant, robust and modern so it’s worth considering a full rewire for a number of great reasons.

What happens during a full rewire?

A full rewire is carried out in two stages or two “fixes”. During the first fix we typically remove all outdated wiring and then begin chasing spaces (create a path) for new wiring to be laid. The back boxes for new outlets and switches are installed, new cabling for power and light circuits will also be installed.

The second fix is typically carried out when the walls have been re-plastered. We fix sockets and switch faces, connect appliances like cookers and heating fixtures.

Our next role is incredibly important as we conduct a series of tests to make sure all wiring is working safely. You’ll be issued with an EIC or electrical installation certificate to confirm compliance with building regulations.
