Specialising in rewiring bungalows, we are here to help answer all your questions about rewiring your home.
When do I need to rewire my bungalow?
For most homeowners it is the age and condition of their existing wiring that leads them to rewire their property. Electrical wiring, like any other part of your Bromsgrove bungalow, is subject to wear and tear. Wiring generally has a life span of around 25 years. After this time, it will begin to degrade and will not be as reliable nor as safe to use. Signs that your wiring is beginning to deteriorate include flickering lights, unreliable power to sockets and unexplained tripping on your fuse board. In more serious cases, you may also notice a burning or fishy smell. If you are experiencing any of these issues, call your local, qualified electrician to come and assess the situation. They will perform an electrical inspection and will advise you of the condition of your wiring. Your electrician will let you know if rewiring your bungalow is necessary or if smaller works are required.
Rewiring during renovations
For some Bromsgrove homeowners a rewire will be undertaken as part of a larger renovation project at their bungalow. If you are either extending your home or installing a new kitchen it is advisable to seek the opinion of your local electrician before work begins. If rewiring would be needed in the next five years, or if your existing electrics do not meet safety standards, then rewiring as part of the project would be advised. This will keep the associated disruption to a minimum and will ensure you do not end up having to repair newly decorated walls!
Who can rewire my home?
Rewiring is a difficult and dangerous task. As such, it should only be performed by a qualified and registered electrician. The wiring in your Bromsgrove home is concealed within walls and under floorboards and it is difficult to see if something is wrong. For your safety, it is important that it is installed by a competent, experienced electrician with a clear understanding of all relevant safety regulations. Allman Electrical are fully qualified, NAPIT registered electricians. Highly experienced in rewiring bungalows and other properties in the Bromsgrove area, you can be certain you are in safe hands.
What happens during a rewire?
Rewiring your Bromsgrove home is a large project and one that encompasses your whole property. Every room and space in your bungalow will be accessed during the rewire process and most homeowners prefer to leave the property whilst the rewire is underway. Here at Allman Electrical we are happy to work around you if you choose to remain in your home whilst we are rewiring it. It will mean the rewire will take longer to complete and there will be areas which are off limits during each day for your safety.
During the rewire, old wiring, fixtures and fittings will be removed by your electrician. Channels will be cut into the walls to allow new wiring to be installed and floorboards will be lifted. A plasterer will be needed to make good the walls after the new wiring has been installed. New sockets and switches will be installed by your electrician exactly where you would like them. Your old fuse board will also be removed and a modern, easy to use consumer unit will be installed by your electrician. After all this has been achieved, your electrician will tidy up and your rewire will be complete!
