Lewisham’s diverse landscape—Victorian terraces in Brockley, post-war semis in Catford, and new-build flats in Deptford—often conceals outdated electrical systems. Lewisham house rewiring is critical to address risks like:
Fire hazards from deteriorating rubber wiring in pre-1970s homes near Ladywell Fields. Example: A 1960s semi on Brockley Road narrowly avoided a fire after rewiring uncovered cracked insulation on original cables.
Insufficient earthing in converted lofts near Lewisham Station, posing shock risks. Local Insight: Many loft conversions in Hither Green lack proper earth bonding due to DIY electrical work, violating Part P regulations.
Overloaded circuits in modern kitchens with high-demand appliances like induction hobs, wine coolers, or air fryers.
Hidden aluminium wiring in 1960s–1980s builds near Deptford Creek, prone to overheating and loose connections.
Act now if:
Your fuse box lacks RCD protection (common in pre-1990s builds near Lewisham Shopping Centre).
You’re renovating period properties in conservation areas like Blackheath or Telegraph Hill.
You experience flickering lights, buzzing outlets, or frequent blown fuses.
Your EICR certificate highlights “C2” or “C1” hazards (e.g., outdated consumer units in New Cross flats).
