There are no set rules or guidelines as to when a property should be rewired, and age is not always a determining factor. Several issues can affect the wear and tear of your electrics, including the materials and how your property has been used. However, if your electrics are over 20 years old or you are unsure as to when they were last upgraded, it is best to have them checked out.

FAQs
Do I need a rewire?

There are no set rules - age alone does not decide it. If your electrics are more than 20 years old, you have rewireable fuses, or circuits have become unreliable, book an inspection and we will give you an honest answer.

What is an EICR and when do I need one?
