Safe, Certified and Future-Ready
At Specialist Electrical Group, we provide professional, certified rewiring services for homes, businesses, landlords, and housing associations across London and the Home Counties. Whether you’re updating a single property or managing a portfolio, we’ll ensure your electrical system is brought up to modern standards with minimal disruption. A property rewire is a long-term investment in safety and compliance, and should last 20 to 40 years before the cabling begins to fail.
Does Your Property Need Rewiring?
If your home or building is over 25 years old and still has its original wiring, it may no longer meet modern safety standards, making a full or partial rewire necessary. UK regulations have evolved significantly, and older installations can pose a serious fire or shock risk.
Common signs include frequent fuse board trips, flickering lights, discoloured or scorched sockets, exposed wiring, or receiving small electric shocks from switches. Poor test results on an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) are also a strong indicator.
Even if everything appears to be working, we recommend inspections every 10 years for owner-occupied homes and every 5 years for rented or commercial properties. If you’re unsure, our qualified electricians can provide an electrical installation condition report (EICR) and advise on the best course of action.
