If you are doing renovations or any home improvements (kitchen or loft extensions, etc.) your electrical system may need to be partially re-wired to accommodate the changes. Also if your electrical equipment is over 40 years old it may need rewiring completely.
Signs that can help you tell the age of equipment in the electrical installation in your home include the following:
- Fixed cables coated in black rubber (which stopped being used in the 1960s).
- Fixed cables coated in lead or fabric (used before the 1960s).
- A fuse box with a wooden back, cast iron switches, or a mixture of fuse boxes (used before the 1960s).
- Older round pin sockets, braided flex hanging from ceiling roses, brown (or black) switches, or sockets mounted in or on skirting boards (used before the 1960s).
In the event you do need a full or partial re-wire then please call NJC Electrical Services to schedule a NO OBLIGATION free site visit to discuss your needs in greater detail.
We will happy to give you a quotation once we’ve seen exactly what your individual needs are.
