A house rewire involves replacing the electrical wiring and components in the entire property to ensure safety and compliance with current regulations.

Our qualified electricians work efficiently and with minimal disturbance to your daily routine. We prioritize the safety and satisfaction of our customers, and our experienced team ensures that the rewiring process is carried out to the highest standard.

We would strongly recommend against it for several reasons. Firstly, having construction work being carried out while you are still living in the house can pose safety risks for you and our workers. Additionally, the noise and disruption can make it difficult for you to go about your daily routine. In some cases, living on-site during the project may also add on extra costs due to logistical challenges. Our priority is to ensure the safety and smooth progress of the project, so we recommend finding alternative accommodations during the duration of the work.

When hiring Gorman Electrical Services for electrical renovations in an older home, you can expect a range of changes tailored to modern safety and functionality standards. Depending on the current age of your house, our team will typically move all the sockets up to a new height of 450mm to ensure ease of access and compliance with current regulations. Additionally, light switches will be dropped down to a height of 1200mm, ensuring convenience and accessibility for all household members. Our team will also address any fixed appliances, ensuring they are installed and wired according to the latest safety standards. At Gorman Electrical Services, we prioritize not only the functionality of your electrical systems but also the safety and convenience for your home and family.

While in older houses smoke alarms may not be required under electrical regulations, in the case of new builds they are necessary under building regulations. However, at Gorman Electrical Services, we strongly recommend installing smoke alarms in every room for safety. Additionally, we recommend installing CO2 detectors next to gas or open fire for added safety measures. Our priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of our clients, which is why we advocate for thorough protection against potential hazards.

At Gorman Electrical Service, we understand that electrical work may sometimes require additional tradespeople such as painters or plasterers to complete a project. We offer the convenience of providing our own painter and plasterer as an option for our clients. Our team of skilled professionals can seamlessly coordinate with our electrical work to ensure a smooth and efficient process for our clients. However, if you have your own preferred painter or plasterer, you are more than welcome to use their services instead. We are committed to accommodating the preferences and needs of our clients, ensuring that the end result is a fully completed and satisfactory project.

A: It is important to consider a rewire if your property is over 25 years old, has faulty wiring, frequently blown fuses, circuit breakers that frequently trip, or outlets and switches that are discolored, warm to the touch, or emit a burning smell. Additionally, if you are experiencing frequent electrical surges or flickering lights, it may be a sign that your electrical system needs to be rewired.
