Why might I need a house rewire electrician?

If you’ve noticed signs such as lights flickering, tripping circuit breakers or a burning smell, this too can indicate damage to electrical wiring.

A house rewire, specifics to consider
Before any house rewire projects in Reading, we discuss key details with the client during planning stages. We make sure customers have thought about specifics such as where you want any outlets installed and whether you require additional sockets. A house rewire often gets customers thinking about additional upgrades they might want to carry out at the same time, changes such as lighting upgrades from traditional bulbs to spotlights.
We like to be completely transparent with our clients so we do mention that a house rewire can get a tad dusty. We do use dust sheets whilst working on rewire projects but to protect your household items and furniture we would find it incredibly helpful if large bulky items were moved or cleared away. This gives out electricians more space to move around freely and use electrical equipment.
What should I expect during a house rewire?
Once the mains power is switched off, a rewire is generally split into two stages.
During the first stage, we remove outdated wiring by chasing walls, flooring and ceiling spaces. Modern wiring is laid and back boxes for fixtures such as plug sockets and switches are installed. The consumer unit can be installed (if you’re upgrading this too).
During the second stage, all lighting fixtures, sockets and switches are connected to the new wiring.
No rewire project would be complete without a series of tests to ensure the installation is safe, functioning and without faults.
