BS Electrician (UK) Limited provides full and partial rewiring services across South East London for houses, flats and small commercial properties. As a NICEIC Approved Contractor, all rewiring work is completed in accordance with BS 7671 IET Wiring Regulations and current UK Building Regulations.
Rewiring improves electrical safety, increases capacity for modern appliances and ensures compliance with current standards.
What Is Rewiring?
Rewiring involves replacing old or unsafe electrical cables, updating circuits and installing a modern consumer unit where required. Older properties may still contain outdated wiring systems that do not meet current safety requirements.
A rewire typically includes:
- New twin and earth cabling
- Replacement sockets and switches
- Updated lighting circuits
- Modern consumer unit installation
- RCD or RCBO protection
- Testing and certification on completion
When Does a Property Need Rewiring?
You may require a rewire if:
- The wiring is over 25–30 years old
- There is no RCD protection
- Cables show signs of wear or overheating
- Circuits trip frequently
- You are renovating or extending the property
- An EICR report identifies significant defects
Older rubber or fabric-insulated cables are no longer considered safe.
Full Rewire vs Partial Rewire
Full Rewire
Complete replacement of all wiring within the property. Recommended for older homes where the installation no longer meets safety standards.
Partial Rewire
Replacement of selected circuits or areas, often during renovations or extensions. Suitable where part of the installation remains compliant.
We assess the condition of the existing system before recommending the appropriate solution.
