Rewires Electrician

If you’re acquiring a new house, or you’re looking to make use of an outbuilding, loft space, or similar, it’s a fantastic idea to ask “do I need my property rewired?” before any other planning is undertaken. As technology advances, it brings forth the need to power new appliances, and as older wiring ages, it creates its own set of hazards. So confirming whether you need new wiring or not before any decorative work begins will save you considerable time, stress, and money!

Our electricians at Definitive Electrical have been hard at work over winter on a number of house rewire projects in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, both partial rewires and full rewires. Full home rewires remain a popular customer request so we thought it was a good time to answer some of the questions you might have if you were thinking about getting your property rewired.

With any building over 25 years of age, it’s highly recommended to ensure that your wiring is safe, functional and efficient.  That’s because, over time, wiring can erode, become compromised by moisture and pose risks to those who use your property. So it’s a great idea to have your wiring periodically checked over by a qualified electrician.

Some 43 per cent of UK homes have suffered a water leak. As well as wasting precious water, unaddressed water leaks could well be the reason behind your electricity tripping.  If you experience your electrics, or one circuit switch constantly tripping, seemingly for no reason, then read on.

If you’ve just bought a new home, or have lived in your existing property for some time, it’s worth giving thought to your wiring.  Namely, how old is it and is it safe?  Did you know that if your property is more than 25 years old, it’s time to check whether the wiring is safe or even legal?

Definitive Electrical is committed to providing the highest standards of electrical services throughout the Derby, Nottingham, Chesterfield and wider East Midlands area.  Because quality and safety are paramount throughout every aspect of every job we deliver, we’re committed to ensuring that our pricing reflects this, and is fair, transparent and competitive.

According to the oxford dictionary the definition of an electrician is “a person whose job is to connect, repair, etc. electrical equipment”

Sounds pretty straightforward right?

Some would be fooled into thinking that it's an easy job, and that anybody can turn their hand to some electrical maintenance and whilst some minor electrical repairs are not illegal, they are not recommended either.  

Whether you’re a homeowner or tenant, it’s highly likely that you’ve recently considered enhancing your home in one way or another. The past year has motivated us to tackle some of those outstanding, and in some cases, trifling home improvement jobs.  From decorating, to improving audio-visual features, to home improvements spanning bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens.

About that outbuilding you’ve thought about renovating, or that cabin kit you’ve had your eye on - Homeworking is here to stay, it seems.  The recent lockdowns we’ve had to adapt to have not been in vain though: They’ve taught us to reevaluate our processes; to appreciate our time more; and that we don’t need to clock into a distant building every single day of the week.

When searching for a qualified and registered electrician to complete either a project, maintenance or maybe even in an emergency where do you begin?

Now, more than ever we understand the need to support our local businesses and build lasting connections with people that we know that we can trust.

Using a local electrician has a number of benefits to customers.
