Electrical Rewiring in Cheltenham
We offer complete and cost effective electrical rewiring of your property, whether domestic or commercial.
Our experienced team of qualified electricians in Cheltenham can carry out this electrical rewiring so that your home or business meets today's regulations and safety standards, ensuring a modern and lasting wiring system whilst minimising disruption at your home or workplace.
Safe & Qualified Electricians
At MJL Electrical our team of highly trained Gloucestershire electricians can carry out an electrical rewire to the highest of standards in safety and quality. We are part P, 17th Edition approved electricians, this means we have went through a rigorous assessment process in order to prove we have the necessary work standards, premises, documentation, equipment and supervisory staff to deliver a service that is both safe and of the highest quality.
All of our electricians strictly adhere to the latest 17th Edition wiring regulations in order to ensure your complete safety. We place the highest importance upon your safety once the job is completed as well our own while carrying out the work.
Minimising Mess & Disruption
We can carry out all rewiring in sections where possible so as to minimise overall disruption to your home or business. During the traditionally messier parts of the process we now use modern tools that can be attached to our vacuums to deal with the dust as it is being created, making for a cleaner job.
Do I need to have my house rewired?
Without a thorough professional electrical inspection there is no definitive answer to this question, here at MJL Electrical our approved electricians offer a free electrical inspection.
However, we do have a few things for you to consider if you are trying to work out whether you should have your property rewired;
-
Have your lights stopped working properly or stopped working altogether?
-
Do you constantly have to change fuses?
-
Has your home ever been flooded?
-
Has the rubber encasing your electrical wires deteriorated since it was installed?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then we recommend you get in touch with us to arrange your free electrical inspection.
How old is the existing wiring in my house?
It is difficult to assess the condition of your electrical wiring as it is hidden within your walls, however, there are a few ways you can work out the age of your existing wiring;
-
Cables in black rubber were phased during the 1960s.
-
Cables in lead or fabric were installed before the 1960s.
-
Any fusebox with a wooden backing, iron switches, or a mixture of fuse boxes was installed before the 1960s.
-
Round pin electrical sockets, round light switches, braided flex hanging down from a ceiling rose, brown or black switches and sockets on skirting boards all date back to before the 1960s.
-
Wall-mounted light switches inside bathrooms are from before the 1960s.
-
Aluminium wire was used rather than copper, which is likely to catch fire more easily
-
There was no earth cable in houses before the early 80s and this means you’re more likely to have electrical shocks. The whole point of an earth wire is to get rid of access to electricity so you can avoid getting electrocuted - without this your house is an accident waiting to happen.
If you believe your property has not been rewired for 25 years or more then we stronly recommend you have a rewiring carried out. You can arrange a free electrical inspection from MJL Electrical to have your property assessed.
What do I need to do before the rewiring process gets underway?
Before the rewiring process can get underway there is some preparation has to be undertaken by you before our team can get started.
First of all you will need to decide what fixtures you would like to be moved, changed or removed. Coming to a concrete decision on this is important as changing your mind once the process is underway can lead to additional costs. Take the time to sit down, consider your requirements and the options available to you before reaching a conclusion, we're happy to talk this through with you.
Packing up your belongings to keep them safe during the rewiring process is also important. Whilst we do work hard to minimise dust and mess and clean up after ourselves, there will be a significant amount of dust created during the rewiring process.
