Professional Full and Partial Rewiring Services in Cheltenham 🛠️
Rewiring is one of the most significant electrical investments a homeowner or business can make. If your property is **over 30 years old**, or you are experiencing persistent electrical faults, an electrical upgrade is essential for safety, insurance, and compliance. D.R.W. Electrical Services are your certified specialists for full and partial rewiring services in Cheltenham and the surrounding areas.
We ensure your property’s electrical system is fully compliant with the latest **18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671)**, installing durable, modern wiring that is designed to handle contemporary power demands safely and efficiently.
---When is Rewiring Necessary?
Outdated or damaged wiring poses a serious fire risk and can lead to dangerous electric shocks. We recommend a full or partial rewire if your property displays any of the following common warning signs:
| Sign of Outdated Wiring | Risk or Implication | D.R.W. Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Old Fuse Box / Consumer Unit | Lacks modern safety features like RCDs (Residual Current Devices). | Upgrade to a modern, fully compliant consumer unit. |
| Flickering Lights or Tripping Breakers | Indicates circuit overload, loose wiring, or insufficient cable capacity. | Full circuit replacement with correctly rated cabling. |
| Black or Scorched Outlets | Immediate fire risk caused by overheating and electrical arcing. | Replacement of affected wiring, sockets, and thorough inspection. |
| Rubber or Fabric-Insulated Cables | Insulation degrades over time, exposing conductors. Common in pre-1970s properties. | Complete replacement with modern **PVC-insulated cables**. |
