If your house is over 30 years old and still has its original wiring, it is likely to require rewiring to meet the modern standards. Wiring can become deteriorated or even damaged over time. Newer house may also need rewiring, this is the reason why we recommend a wiring inspection every ten years. The electrical inspection must be conducted by a registered electrician to ensure safety.
There may be a date listed on the original consumer unit. If not then it’s impossible to tell an exact date but we can usually give a good indication of which decade it was rewired by looking at the installation.
Yes, damaged or deteriorated wiring can be very dangerous. It can cause power cuts and fuses to trip. Poor wiring can also lead to electric shocks and house fires if not dealt with on time.
The typical signs you care look for when you think your house needs rewiring are the following: there are signs of burning, such as discoloration around plugs and sockets or a burning smell; the consumer unit trips out regularly, and fuses or bulbs blow; the consumer unit trips out regularly; and fuses or bulbs blow, there is a crackling or buzzing noise from electrical sockets, the electrical wiring is covered in black rubber, fabric or lead; the lights are constantly flickering, and bulbs need to be changed very often; sockets are broken or cracked, sockets have rounded plug entries instead of 3-pin entries; there are less than two plug sockets in each room, plugs get very hot.
Yes, a rewire does involve a lot of disruption, therefore a plasterer will be required.
Rewiring a house normally involves removing the old wiring and installing the new electrical wiring and all related components as follows:
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a report that is written following an inspection of the electrics within a property.
The UK’s current wiring regulations (18th edition) are the national standard for all domestic electrical wiring work. They set the rules for the installation of fixed cabling within a property to ensure safety. The regulations state the work has to be compliant with the Approved Document Part P of the Building Regulations.

You are able to legally rewire your home should you desire; however, we would recommend you to use a qualified electrician to avoid injury and ensure the work is completed to the current safety standards.
Yes, it is likely that a 30-year-old house will need rewiring to bring it up to current UK safety standards.
You can expect the installation in a typical 3-bedroom home to take around five to seven full days of work and extra time for replastering and redecorating after the wiring is completed. It also requires more time if you wish to install extra sockets, lights etc.
It is recommended for a house to be rewired every 25-30 years to bring it up to date with current building regulations.
The best time to complete a full house rewire is during renovations. This is due to the extensive works needed during rewiring.

There may be a date listed on the original consumer unit. If not then its impossible to tell an exact date but we can usually give a good indication of which decade it was rewired by looking at the installation.

No. There is no legal requirement to replace your electrics, however it is in the interests of safety the wiring is replaced.
You can absolutely carry out a rewire in a house one room at a time. However, the implications in terms of additional time, disruption, and expense could mean that getting the whole house done in one go is the better option.
You can partially rewire a house but it can be quite difficult. It is not always clear where cables run and how they are connected to the other circuits.
It’s worthwhile letting your neighbors know you are getting rewired, it can be fairly nosey work.
Some homes have a shared supply, It is pretty common and you do not share the actual electrical usage as this is metered individually in each home.
If really well maintained they can be safe but our experience shows that there is old wiring that just disintegrates, and also has had many poor alterations over the years. Old wiring can be very dangerous.
Yes. Any qualified electrician should have the knowledge to rewire a house.
As a landlord your property must pass a satisfactory condition report to allow you to rent it out. A house will not pass an EICR unless the wiring is up to date.
It is a legal requirement to have a valid landlord electrical safety certificate in place for each rental property you own.
The purpose of a report is to determine whether the installation is safe to continue using. An electrician will check the wiring, the fuse board, earth bonding and all the other parts that you cannot see.
You do not need to do an electrical check, but buyers often get one done before moving in.
Unfortunately, this is not an easy job to do.
Normally sockets are installed on a ring circuit on 32amp breaker, which means that the ring can withstand around 7200 watts.
Below you can see the main cost factors:
Yes. Despite being smaller, the rewiring of an apartment can sometimes be a little more complex than the rewiring of a house, due to issues that can be related to access to ceilings and floors.
Each property is different and some may not require the electricians to make as much mess, but the majority of electrical rewires require the walls to be cut, chased and chiseled. This can result in a lot of dust, mess and re-plastering works.
Stratford’s rapid transformation—from Victorian terraces near Maryland Station to high-rise flats in East Village—masks widespread electrical hazards. House rewiring in Stratford is critical to address:
Fire risks from deteriorating rubber or fabric-insulated wiring in pre-1960s homes near Stratford High Street, often hidden behind modern plasterboard.
Overloaded circuits in multi-generational households (common in Forest Gate) juggling air conditioning units, induction hobs, and home offices.
Act immediately if:
Your fuse box uses rewireable fuses (common in pre-1980s builds near Stratford International).
You’re converting lofts or extending kitchens in period homes near Stratford Marsh.
You experience flickering lights, buzzing sockets, or outlets that feel warm to the touch.
Costs of house rewiring in Stratford reflects its mix of heritage and modernity. Below is an expanded breakdown:
Compact Properties
2-Bed Flats (e.g., East Village or Stratford City): £3,800–£6,800 Scope: Full circuit upgrades, USB-C outlets in living areas, and smoke alarm installations compliant with Newham Council’s fire safety regulations. Hidden Costs: Asbestos checks in pre-1990 blocks (£400–£1,200) or communal area access fees in high-rises.
Mid-Sized Homes
3-Bed Victorian Terraces (e.g., Forest Gate or Maryland): £4,500–£6,700 Scope: House Rewiring in Stratford without damaging original features (e.g., cornices, ceiling roses), installing outdoor circuits for garden offices, and surge protection for home tech. Case Example: A 1930s semi near West Ham Park required scaffold access to rewire loft conversions, adding £2,300 to labour costs.
Large/Heritage Properties
4-Bed Detached Homes (e.g., Stratford Marshes or conservation zones): £5,300–£8,400+ Scope: Heritage-compliant rewiring using silicone-coated cables, three-phase power for annexes, or smart home integration. Key Challenges: Listed homes near Abbey Mills Pumping Station require non-invasive methods, extending timelines by 10–15 days.
Additional Cost Drivers:
Flood Risk Mitigation: Homes near the River Lea may need moisture-resistant cabling (+£1,500–£3,000).
Council Approvals: Conservation area permits add £500–£1,500 to project costs.
Future-Proofing: Pre-installing conduits for EV chargers (+£900–£2,200) or solar-ready systems (+£1,800–£3,500).
Stratford’s electrical challenges demand professionals who:
