Why Rewiring Is Essential
Old Properties Risk Factors:
- Rubber or fabric cable insulation (degraded after 50+ years)
- Lack of earth continuity (electrical shock risk)
- No RCD protection (earth fault hazard)
- Insufficient circuits for modern appliances
- Overloaded circuits causing repeated tripping
When Rewiring Becomes Necessary:
- Property over 30 years with original wiring
- Planning major renovation or extension
- Adding significant electrical load (kitchen, bathroom, etc.)
- Evidence of problems (flickering lights, burning smells, tripping breakers)
- Buying or selling property with outdated wiring
- Rental property requiring certification
