Reasons to Rewire Your Home?
Over time, electrical systems can become outdated and potentially dangerous. Old wiring may not meet modern safety standards and could increase the risk of electrical fires. A full or partial rewire will:
Ensure your property complies with the latest BS 7671 regulations
Enhance safety and reduces fire risk
Add value to your home
Allows you to reposition sockets, switches, and lighting to suit modern living
Add smart technology within your home including hardwired Data solutions to ensure a stable internet connection throughout
Helps landlords meet EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) requirements - legally required every 5 years
Rewiring should ideally be done during the early stages of a renovation, usually alongside any plumbing work. It requires access beneath floors and within walls, so doing it early minimises disruption and avoids the need to undo completed work.
At Selkent Electrical, all rewiring work is carried out by fully qualified, NICIEC Approved electricians. We only install high-quality cables, fixtures & fittings to ensure a safe, reliable installation tailored to your home’s needs that will stand the test of time.
We’ll work with you to plan the layout of your new installation including sockets, switches, lighting & any other requirements you may have such as EV Chargers, electrical appliances, wired data requirements etc.
Whether you need more socket outlets, to reposition switches or discreet wiring solutions, we help bring your ideal room setup to life - without any unsightly wires on show.
We are proud to offer a prompt, responsive, and professional service which is trusted by Local homeowners and landlords across South East London & Kent.
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Common signs include flickering lights, outdated fuse boxes, frequent tripped circuits, or visible wear on sockets and switches. If your property hasn’t been rewired in the last 25–30 years, it’s worth having it inspected by a qualified electrician.
How long does a full house rewire take?
It typically takes between 5–10 days, depending on the size and condition of your home. We’ll give you a clear time estimate during the quote process.
Can I live in my home during the rewire?
It’s possible but not always ideal. Rewiring is disruptive and involves lifting floorboards, removing plaster, and turning off the power for extended periods. Many clients choose to stay elsewhere temporarily.
Is rewiring covered by building regulations?
Yes. All electrical work must comply with Part P of the Building Regulations. Selkent Electrical are NICIEC Approved Electricians, meaning we can self-certify our work and provide all required documentation.
