House Rewiring Services
When you flip a light switch, plug in your phone charger, or turn on the kettle, you probably don’t think twice about the electrical wiring hidden behind your walls. But if your London home or property was built decades ago, there’s a strong chance your electrical system is struggling to keep up with today’s modern appliances and power demands.
40 years of local experience across East, South, and North London, we see firsthand how old wiring puts properties and families at risk. Outdated or deteriorating wiring is one of the leading causes of household electrical fires and unexpected power failures—issues that often stem from systems left unchecked for years.
Complete House Rewiring & Consumer Unit Upgrades in London
A full house rewire involves replacing all electrical cabling, sockets, switches, and the central consumer unit (fuse box) across your property. Think of it as giving your home’s electrical system a complete safety reset. The process removes dangerous, old, or deteriorating wiring and installs modern, energy-efficient cabling compliant with current 18th Edition UK Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) and Part P Building Regulations.
Long-Term Safety and Modern Energy Demands
At Electrician Fix, our NICEIC-approved local electricians replace everything from the main service supply tails and consumer unit right through to every plug socket and light switch in your property. Older installationsespecially pre-1990s rubber, fabric, or lead cabling were simply never designed for modern electrical loads.
If you notice frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, discoloured power sockets, or buzzing sounds coming from your walls, these are urgent warning signs that your electrical wiring requires immediate inspection. Delaying necessary repairs or operating an outdated system not only increases energy bills but also poses serious safety and fire risks. At Electrician Fix, led by Terry George with over 40 years of industry experience , we provide reliable electrical fault finding near me, EICR testing, and full or partial house rewiring tailored to your property.
