House & Property Rewiring in Exeter & Across Devon

How can you tell if your home electrics need a rewire

At Roberts & Co Electrical Ltd, we specialise in providing safe, reliable, and professional rewiring services for homes and businesses across Exeter, Exmouth, Sidmouth, Honiton, and throughout Devon. Whether you need a full property rewire or partial rewiring, our NICEIC Approved and ECA registered electricians have the expertise to carry out the work to the highest standards.

Why Rewiring is Important

Over time, electrical wiring naturally degrades and may no longer meet current safety regulations. Old or faulty wiring can pose serious risks, including electrical fires and power failures. Signs you may need a rewire include:

  • Frequent tripping of circuits or blown fuses
  • Outdated fuse box or lack of modern consumer unit
  • Scorch marks around sockets or switches
  • Lack of sufficient sockets or safe power outlets
  • Wiring that is more than 25 years old

If any of these sound familiar, it may be time to contact our team for a professional assessment.

Things to look out for

  • Obvious signs of damage to socket-outlets, switches, and lights.
  • Signs of overheating at socket-outlets.
  • How many socket-outlets are there in each room? If there are only one or two, or they are single sockets. It could be an indication that the installation may be quite old.
  • The use of extension leads and socket outlet adaptors.
  • Are the socket-outlets of the round pin type? If so, the installation is very old.
  • Round light switches and braided flex hanging from ceiling roses to light fittings, black switches and sockets mounted in skirting boards
  • Check the fuse box – just because it looks new doesn’t mean it is – it may have had just a fuse box change, so check the rest of the installation as well.
  • Has it got rewirable fuses? These have not been installed in new installations for many years.
  • If the fuse box has a wooden back, cast iron switches, or a haphazard mixture of fuses it is likely that it dates back to before the 1960s and will need to be replaced.
