About the Business

Many Winchester homes have original wiring going back many years. Electric demands and wiring standards have changed drastically over the years, and many existing homes have wiring which would be considered unsafe, and in some cases clearly dangerous by today’s standards.

Main fuse boxes (now called consumer units) in particular have been upgraded to use fast-acting circuit breakers instead of fuse wire. Insulation on wires tends to age and may perish over time, leaving exposed live wires in places, and sockets and switches can also be unsafe.

Electrical rewiring involves the replacement of old and unsafe electrical equipment such as cabling, light fittings, sockets and fuse boxes. Today’s electrical demand is very different from 20 years ago, and there are usually many more outlets in each room. A complete rewire is a large task but it is always important to make sure that your home electrics are safe and meets current standards. A partial rewire is also an option, to minimize disruption.
