There are many occasions when it may be necessary to contact an ELECTRICIAN IN WOKINGHAM and at Thames Valley Electrical we offer a one-stop shop. Carrying out a wide range of Electrical Services for our customers in Wokingham and surrounding areas.
Buying a home in Wokingham
Purchasing a new home is the single biggest investment that most people will make. Whilst a full property survey will include much useful information, generally, they do not inspect the electrical system beyond a glance at the fuse box.
That is why it is often sensible to have a full electrical check carried out by an electrician. Electrical systems are rarely inspected or correctly maintained and once installed, are generally left alone until an electrical fault occurs.
Many electrical faults can be hidden and will not display any symptoms and purchasing a pre-owned home can be a risk if the property needs rewiring.
Rewires in Wokingham
Electrical wiring does not last forever and will eventually fail. When this happens, it is usually at the least convenient time, right before a holiday, family gathering or on a Sunday afternoon when the chances of getting an emergency electrician out are slim.
There are some signs that your home may need rewiring such as:
• Old looking fuse box
• Flickering Lights
• Intermittent power cuts
• Burning Smells
• Crackling Plug Sockets
• Black Rubber Cables
At Thames Valley Electrical, we specialise in rewires and are seen as the ‘go to’ experts in the area for this particular service.
When it comes to rewiring it is best to plan in advance when the work will take place. Preventative measure like these are much better than emergency last minute rewires which may result in chaos.
If you are unsure of the need for a home rewire then please contact us and we will give you honest, impartial advice on whether this may be necessary in your case.

An older style fuse box will not offer anywhere near the safety features or protection of a new modern consumer unit.
The new consumer unit offers such things as:
• Overload protection
• Short Circuit protection
• Earth Fault detection
• Surge protection
• Arc Fault detection
• Electrical Shock Prevention
If your fuse box looks particularly old then get in touch with us, send us a photo, book a quote and we will offer free, no obligation advice and quotations for replacing this for you.
