Proper wiring is essential for the safe and efficient operation of any electrical system. Many older properties still rely on outdated wiring that can pose a serious fire hazard. Over time, wear and tear, as well as increased demand from modern appliances, can cause electrical faults. If you experience frequent power trips, flickering lights, or outdated fuse boxes, it may be time for a full or partial rewire. At Newlec Electrical, we specialise in wiring and rewiring services for both residential and commercial properties in Southend and Essex. Our expert team carries out full assessments to determine whether your current wiring meets modern safety standards. We replace old or damaged wiring with high-quality, durable solutions that can handle today's electrical loads. Rewiring services may also be necessary during home renovations, extensions, or when upgrading to smart home technology. Commercial properties often require rewiring to support high-power equipment and ensure compliance with safety regulations. We complete each job efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption while delivering a safe and future-proof electrical system. Our work complies with all relevant electrical safety standards, providing peace of mind for homeowners and business owners alike.
Signs include frequent power cuts, flickering lights, burning smells from sockets, outdated fuse boxes, and old fabric or rubber-insulated wiring. If your property hasn’t been rewired in decades, an inspection is recommended.
A full rewire typically takes between 5 to 10 days, depending on the size of the property. Our team works efficiently to minimise disruption while ensuring everything is up to the latest safety standards.
It depends on the extent of the work. If a full rewire is required, it may be safer and more convenient to move out temporarily due to the dust, noise, and disruption involved. We will advise on the best approach based on your needs.
