London's housing stock is some of the oldest in the country, and much of it is still running on wiring that's 30, 40, or even 50+ years old. Rewiring isn't just about compliance — old cabling degrades, insulation cracks, and circuits that were never designed for modern electricity use become a genuine hazard.
Signs Your Property Needs Rewiring
- Wiring is over 25–30 years old
- Frequent trips, flickering lights, or warm sockets
- Round-pin sockets, black rubber cabling, or a fusebox with no RCDs
- You're renovating and want to future-proof the electrics
- A recent EICR recommended a rewire
