Rewire

If your electrical system has any of the following features, your home no longer complies with current wiring regulations and is potentially putting you at risk from electric shock or fire. You may need a rewire.

• Fuseboxes - with wooden backs, cast iron switches or a haphazard mixture of circuit boxes
• Damaged - Cables, Switches, Sockets and other Accessories
• Cables coated in black rubber (TRS) installed 1945 - 1966
• Lead or fabric sheathed cables installed pre 1948
• Older round-pin sockets
• Braded Flexes - from ceiling roses to light fittings
• Black Round Bakerlite Switches
• Sockets mounted on skirting boards
• PVC lighting cables installed before 1966
• Double pole fusing - pre 1950's circuits had a fuse in both the live and neutral.
• Mains water pipe being used as an earthing conductor
• Rewirable Fuses - Modern installations have mini circuit breakers

Orme Electrical will advise whether you require just a few minor alterations or a complete rewire to meet current saftey regulations
