House rewiring
in Kew East.

Houses built in the years after the war were wired with the materials of the day, and some still have that original cable. It may have outlived its sensible life, with insulation that has hardened or cracked. Owners usually discover this when a builder opens up a wall or ceiling for an extension. Rather than splice new circuits onto tired cable, a rewire replaces the lot with modern cabling and a new board. In brick homes with accessible roof spaces, the work is less disruptive than in older period houses. We plan outlet positions and lighting circuits for how you live now, with enough capacity for a new kitchen and open living space. Where an owner is demolishing and rebuilding, no rewire is needed, and we simply wire the new house from scratch.

What the job involves, warning signs and what's included are on our main house rewires page. For everything else we do locally, see electrician Kew East.
