Rewires & Consumer Unit Upgrades

[ OVERVIEW ]

If your property’s electrics are outdated, repeatedly tripping, or not suited to modern demand, a rewire or consumer unit upgrade can make a huge difference to safety, reliability and performance. Fletch Thomas Electrical provides full and partial rewires, plus consumer unit replacements, for homeowners, landlords and property renovators.

We take a structured approach, keeping work organised and disruption to a minimum wherever possible. You will get clear advice on what is required, honest pricing, and a safe, compliant installation finished neatly and tested properly.

When might you need a rewire?

Many homes were wired for a very different way of living. If you are adding new appliances, converting a loft, renovating, or simply want peace of mind, a rewire can bring everything up to current standards and give you the capacity you need.

Common signs that a rewire may be needed include:

  • Old wiring or ageing fittings

  • Frequent tripping or blown fuses

  • Scorched sockets, buzzing, or burning smells

  • Not enough sockets for modern use

  • DIY alterations or previous poor workmanship

  • An older fuse board rather than a modern consumer unit

  • You are buying an older property and want certainty

If you are unsure, we can carry out an inspection and advise on the best route forward.

Full and partial rewires

Not every property requires a full rewire. Depending on condition, access and your plans, we can recommend a full rewire or a targeted partial rewire.

We can support with:

  • Full house rewires

  • Partial rewires for specific areas such as kitchens, extensions and loft conversions

  • Adding new circuits for high-demand areas and equipment

  • Replacing damaged or non-compliant wiring and accessories

  • New socket layouts and lighting circuits to suit how you live

We will talk you through the scope clearly and plan the work in a way that fits your schedule.

A modern consumer unit provides improved protection and better control of circuits throughout your home. Upgrading your consumer unit can help reduce risk, improve reliability, and support new circuits for extensions, kitchens, EV chargers and modern appliances.

A consumer unit upgrade typically includes:

  • Safe isolation of the existing system

  • Replacement with a modern consumer unit

  • Correct circuit protection and labelling

  • Testing of the installation

  • Certification and clear documentation

If we identify faults or issues during testing, we will explain what they are and what needs to be done next.

A tidy, planned approach

Electrical work in a home can feel disruptive, especially during a rewire. We keep things organised, protect work areas, and communicate clearly so you always know what is happening and what to expect.

Our focus includes:

  • Clear planning and sensible sequencing

  • Respect for your home and clean working practices

  • Neat finishing on sockets, switches and accessories

  • Testing, certification and compliance paperwork provided
