Electrical Rewiring FAQs – South London

Q1: How do I know if my home needs a full rewire?
A full rewire may be necessary if your property has old or damaged wiring, frequent blown fuses, outdated fuse boards, or insufficient sockets for modern electrical demands. NOD Electrical Services offers a thorough inspection and assessment to determine the safest and most cost-effective solution.

Q2: What is partial rewiring and when is it needed?
Partial rewiring involves upgrading only certain circuits or areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or high-load circuits, rather than replacing all wiring. This is ideal for homes with mostly safe existing wiring but where specific areas need modernisation or safety improvements.

Q3: Can rewiring be done in stages if I have a limited budget?
Yes. Staged rewiring allows essential upgrades to be completed over time, prioritising safety-critical areas first. Each stage is fully compliant with BS 7671 regulations and Part P requirements, with certification provided for every phase. This approach helps manage costs while ensuring electrical safety.

Q4: How long does a full house rewire take?
The duration depends on the property size, layout, and access. Typical full rewires for average South London homes take several days to a couple of weeks. NOD Electrical Services plans projects to minimise disruption and can provide clear timelines before work begins.

Q5: Will my home be safe during a rewiring project?
Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. We isolate circuits as needed, use protective measures, and follow all current BS 7671 wiring regulations. For staged or partial rewires, work is carefully phased to ensure your home remains electrically safe throughout the project.

Q6: Do you provide certification after rewiring?
Yes. All rewiring work, whether full, partial, or staged, comes with full testing, documentation, and certification, giving you peace of mind that your electrical system is compliant and safe.
