Rewiring in Weston-super-Mare for Homes and Businesses

AK Electrical carries out full and part rewiring in Weston-super-Mare for homes and businesses. Rewiring replaces old, damaged or unsafe cables, so your electrics are safe, reliable and ready for modern living.

Many homes in Weston-super-Mare were built in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, and plenty of homes from the 1950s to the 1970s still have their original wiring. Cables and fittings from those years were not designed for today’s electrical demands.

Signs Your Property Needs Rewiring

• Wiring that is more than 25–30 years old
• Old rubber, fabric or lead-sheathed cables
• A fuse box with rewireable fuses
• No RCD protection
• Scorch marks, warm sockets or burning smells
• Lights that flicker or dim
• Circuits that trip often
• Too few sockets and extension leads everywhere

If you are not sure, an electrical test (EICR) will show the condition of your wiring. We will tell you honestly whether you need a full rewire, a part rewire or just some repairs.

Full Rewires

A full rewire replaces all the wiring in a property, along with sockets, switches, light fittings and usually the consumer unit. It is the best option when wiring is old throughout or when you are renovating.

A typical full rewire has three stages:

1. First fix. We lift floorboards where needed, chase walls and run new cables and back boxes.
2. Second fix. After any plastering, we fit sockets, switches, lights and the consumer unit.
3. Testing and certification. We test every circuit and issue an Electrical Installation Certificate.

Rewiring is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations, so it is registered with building control and you get the paperwork you need when you sell.

Part Rewires

A part rewire replaces wiring in selected rooms or circuits. It suits properties where most of the installation is sound but one area has problems, such as an old kitchen circuit, a damaged lighting circuit or an extension wired by a previous owner. A part rewire costs less and causes less disruption than a full rewire.
