If your electrical installation is found to be unsatisfactory and at the end of its life, I will charge a flat £64 for my time and testing and advise that the property requires a full rewire. In this case, I cannot continue with a fuse box upgrade, as it would not make the installation safe. Common reasons for recommending a rewire include:

  • No earth on lighting circuits (common in pre-1970s homes).
  • Wiring at the end of its lifespan.
  • Lead or rubber insulated cables.
  • Signs of deterioration, such as green goo.
