In our experience, it is usually older properties which may require an electrical rewire, so you may want to consider this if you are purchasing an older property – particularly one that is more than 25 years old. We also recommend an inspection of your electrics if you aren’t sure when a rewire was last carried out. Good general guidance is to check-out your electrics every 10 years if you are a homeowner, and rented properties should be inspected every 5 years. An expert and qualified electrician like WS Electrical will be able to review your electrics and provide an honest appraisal of whether a rewire is required and identify any other remedial work that may be required. We have carried out many house rewires for both domestic and commercial customers in the York area, so you can rely on our experience and expertise.
