Wiring Upgrade

A targeted wiring upgrade for homes across Brighton, Hove and the wider Sussex area — bringing specific circuits, earthing or your consumer unit up to modern standards, without the scope or cost of a complete rewire.

Is It Right For You?

Is a Wiring Upgrade Right for You?

A full rewire isn't always necessary. These are the situations where a wiring upgrade or partial rewire is usually enough for Brighton & Hove homes:

  • Your circuits are basically soundNo faults or damaged cable, just parts of the system that have fallen behind current regulations.
  • You need better earthing or bondingCommon in older properties where the earthing was never brought up to modern standards.
  • Your consumer unit is due for replacementAn old fuse board can be swapped for a modern unit with RCBO protection without touching the rest of the circuits.
  • You're adding load to the systemNew appliances, an EV charger or an extension can mean the supply needs reinforcing in places.
  • A recent inspection flagged specific issuesAn EICR report naming particular circuits or connections, rather than the installation as a whole.
