Electrical Rewiring Glasgow

What is an electrical rewire?

A complete electrical rewire is where the electrics of a property are fault tested, measured for optimum peformance and potentially rewired by a professional electrician who has experience testing and replacing an electrical wiring system on a house or building. Any Glasgow property which has an existing wiring system which has faults due to age or poor installation is a worthwhile candidate for an electrical rewire. Upon diagnoses of recurring faults after vigorous testing, the electrician hired is best to remove the existing wiring and replace it with a new one capable of meeting the demands of the household and circuit. Testing with a deduction method is a key factor to determining why faults have occured and to ensure the replacement rewire has the correct remedy to prevent the problem from returning. 

At worst, faulty electrics can be a serious fire hazard and can lead to injury or electrocution. This is why electrics were brought in to the building regulations under Part P. Existing wiring installations are not covered, but if you make significant alterations or new additions to the wiring in your home, the regulations come into force.

If you are thinking of buying a property more than 25 years old, it is important to check that the wiring is up to date before you buy. Ideally, you will get an idea of what work is required and an estimate of the likely cost so that you can take this into account when assessing the feasibility of the project and how much to offer.
