2) House rewiring in Ikeston

Even the thought of rewiring your property can send some homeowners in a tailspin. With Definitive Electrical Solutions by your side, rewiring your property can be simple and stress free.

Rewiring a property involves inspecting the current wiring for faults and efficiency and often replacing it with modern wiring. Alongside wiring, often fixtures such as switches, sockets and lighting are replaced too.

Although rewiring your home can create a bit of mess and disorder, some homeowners opt for a partial repair of a smaller area of the property or certain rooms such as the kitchen or bathroom.

Partial rewires are favoured as they are easier to manage in terms of budget and structural work. Whilst electrical cables are concealed in walls, underflooring and in ceiling spaces, these particular spaces will need to be opened to expose the existing wiring but to then lay the modern cabling. Unfortunately this does cause a bit of disruption to your home so to manage this better, a partial rewire could be the better choice.

Definitive Electrical Solutions prefer to be a part of your rewire project from start to finish. If you are thinking of home extensions or complete refurbishment of your property, it’s a good idea to plan and factor in rewiring before you lay any new flooring and have the walls plastered over. As well as the actual cabling, we also install accompanying fixtures such as the switches and plug sockets. We encourage clients to consider the number of plug sockets per room as well as their location and even location of light switches as all fixtures will need to be wired to corresponding circuits.

If rewiring is a new topic for you and you’re not sure if the wiring at your property needs an upgrade, we do suggest that if a property has not been rewired in the past 20 years, rewiring needs to be a serious consideration.

Older wiring can be extremely hazardous and pose high risks such as electrical fires or electrocution. Older wiring may look intact but actually the internal metal wiring may be degraded and simply will not meet modern safety standards.

Due to general wear and tear and degradation over time, electrical connections can also become loose and compromised due to water damage. Older wiring cannot cope with the demands of the electrical appliances typically used in homes, increasing the risk of fires through overheating.

As NICEIC approved electricians, we are kept up to date with changes to building regulations and safety standards. Our team of electricians also have their work assessed by building authorities, so you can rest assured that all your rewiring needs are safe and by the book.

Our existing clients are thrilled with our skill, craftsmanship and communication. A great deal of our projects are a result of word of mouth recommendations to friends, family and acquaintances across Nottinghamshire.

If you’re considering rewiring or even a partial rewire of your property, Definitive Electrical Solutions are the rewire specialist you’ve been looking for!
