Older wiring does not automatically mean a property needs a complete rewire.

However, signs that an installation may require further investigation include:

  • Very old wiring
  • Lack of modern circuit protection
  • Damaged accessories
  • Frequent electrical faults
  • Poor previous alterations
  • No earth conductor to certain circuits
  • An unsatisfactory EICR

An inspection or EICR is normally the best way to establish the condition of the installation.
