Maybe you've had an electrical inspection and been told the installation is no longer suitable for continued use. Maybe you've just bought a really old house, or you're planning a full renovation. Either way, you're probably thinking: “Do I need a rewire?” and more importantly, “Who do I trust to do it?”
You're not alone. Most homeowners don’t know where to turn when it comes to something as important (and disruptive) as a full house rewire. It’s tempting to ask a builder mate for advice or consider a relative who once did an electrician’s course years ago. But when it comes to your home's safety and staying compliant with current regulations, that’s not the way to go.
Why It’s So Important to Get the Right Help
Rewiring a house isn’t just about pulling out old cables and sticking in new ones. It’s a big job that needs experience, planning, and the right qualifications. You need a local electrician who’s trusted, properly registered, and who understands how to manage the job from start to finish with as little stress to you as possible.
At Precision Electrical Services, we specialise in domestic electrical rewires, both full and partial. We have built a solid reputation across Walton-on-Thames, Weybridge, Esher, Hersham, and the surrounding areas as a reliable electrician that homeowners can count on. Whether it’s a kitchen rewire, adding extra sockets, or upgrading to LED lighting, we’ve got systems and team in place to make sure everything runs smoothly and safely.
Signs You Might Need a Rewire
We’ve even created a free Ebook that you can download on our website to help you identify the early warning signs that your property might need rewiring. It covers things like:
- Fuses tripping regularly
- Old-style fuse boards
- Black rubber or fabric wiring
- Limited socket outlets
These issues are more than just annoying, they could point to unsafe electrics that no longer meet current standards.
What Happens During a Rewire?
Our Ebook also walks you through what to expect during a rewire, including:
- How we protect your home with dust sheets, floor protection, and careful planning
- The stages of work — from first fix to final testing
- Timescales and how we minimise disruption
- What paperwork you should receive at the end
You’ll also get an idea of the benefits: safer electrics, better layout and function, more sockets, and often better energy efficiency with modern LED lighting options.
Why Certification Matters
After every rewire, we issue full certification, ensuring the work complies with BS 7671 Wiring Regulations and Part P of the Building Regs. Without this, you could struggle to sell your house later on or have issues with insurance.
Your builder mate or cousin might mean well, but unless they’re a registered electrician with a Competent Persons Scheme (like the NIC EIC), they simply can’t provide the legal paperwork you need.
