Electrician in Nottingham and Derby.
A rewire is essential to keep your Nottingham home safe and working efficiently.
Definitive Electrical Solutions are NICEIC approved contractors and domestic installers covering areas of Nottingham & Derby offering full and partial domestic rewires.
Homes older than 25 years are more than likely to need a rewire if the original wiring hasn’t been replaced. Another sign you may need a rewire is an old style fuse-box. Older properties are more at risk of electrical fires and power surges due to poor and deteriorated wiring. Electric shocks are also more common. Investing in a rewire for your Nottingham home will mean a safer and more efficient environment for you and your family.
If you’re constantly battling flickering lights or tripping electrics this could mean a rewire is much needed. We will always carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) before planning a rewire. EICR’s allow your electrician to fully understand the age and condition of the electrical system, wiring and any faults that may need fixing. After the inspection we will create a detailed rewire plan and go through this with you. We will discuss whether it will be a lived in or an empty rewire, the time frame and of course the costs involved.
Renovating?
If you are planning renovations, in particular an extension, a rewire will most likely be advised. The added pressure of more sockets and switches can be dangerous on an already poor electrical system. Rewiring during a renovation is also more efficient. You may decide to have the most disruptive jobs carried out while you stay with family or friends to limit any interference to your day-to-day life.
If the option of staying with friends or family isn’t on the cards, not to worry. Our electricians will do everything they can to make the process as stress free and efficient as possible. We will always communicate what will be carried out each day so you can plan ahead.
Additional sockets & switches
Older homes often don’t have enough sockets to power all our devices that modern day technology has gifted us. A rewire can solve this. One major benefit aside from your Nottingham home becoming safer is we can add extra sockets and switches where you most need them.
Working from home?
Post pandemic, many of us are still working from home regularly. Wanting to convert a room in your home to an office? Or add a garden office if inside space is limited? A rewire is probably a good idea. Garden offices are becoming increasingly popular and to ensure they remain safe and efficient it's best a rewire is carried out to ensure your fuse-box can cope with the added additional pressure.
The rewire process…
So, you’re probably wondering what is actually involved in a rewire. A full rewire is normally conducted in two phases. A preparation phase and then where we install sockets, switches and upgrade all existing systems and wiring. This is also when we would upgrade your old style fuse-box to the modern version, a consumer unit. A rewire will last anywhere from 2-10 days. This will depend on the size of the property and whether it’s lived in or empty.
