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[ OVERVIEW ]If your property’s electrics are outdated, repeatedly tripping, or not suited to modern demand, a rewire or consumer unit upgrade can make a huge difference to safety, reliability and performance.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
