Partial Rewire in Fenay Bridge

During the life of an electrical system, there can be many additions and changes to the wiring. This can include a new consumer unit to replace an old fuse box, the installation of additional sockets, extra or other modifications.

What this can mean is that the electrical system may have newer electrical circuits or sections of wiring and some older wiring. In these cases, it is not always necessary to replace all the electrical circuits in the property and a partial rewire may be the cheaper option.

When is a partial rewire necessary?

In a lot of cases, the need for a rewire is often highlighted by the lights in a property. Where the cabling for lights contains no earth a rewire is needed to install many new light fixtures and to comply with current safety requirements for electrical installations.

Since 1966 an earth has been required in lighting cables so any lighting wiring not containing an earth could be very old indeed.

There are other situations where a partial rewire may be necessary such as:
•    Damage to ground floor electrical wiring from flood
•    Socket cables are old but lights are newer
•    The installation of a new powerful cooker requiring a bigger supply

Its important to remember that the phrase ‘partial rewire’ can mean anything from the rewire of one circuit to the rewire of all but one circuit.
