Your home’s electrical wiring is hidden behind walls and under floors, easy to forget until problems arise. But outdated wiring doesn’t just cause inconvenience—it poses genuine safety risks. Faulty electrics cause thousands of house fires each year, and old wiring without modern protection puts your family at risk of electric shock.
Southend-on-Sea has a diverse mix of properties spanning over a century of construction. Victorian and Edwardian terraces across Westcliff and Leigh-on-Sea, 1930s semis throughout Thorpe Bay and Eastwood, post-war housing in Shoeburyness and Southchurch, and modern apartments along the seafront. Many older properties retain original or outdated wiring that no longer meets safety standards.
We complete full and partial house rewires across Southend, replacing old cables, installing modern consumer units with RCD protection, and bringing your entire electrical system up to current 18th Edition standards. Our NICEIC registered electricians handle every aspect of your rewire, from initial survey through to testing and certification.
A rewire is a significant project, but one that protects your home for decades. Contact us for a free electrical survey and honest assessment of your property’s rewiring needs.
Protect your Southend home with a complete electrical rewire. A full rewire replaces all wiring throughout your property—cables, sockets, switches, light fittings, and the consumer unit—bringing everything up to current 18th Edition standards. We work methodically room by room, minimising disruption while ensuring your entire electrical system is safe, compliant, and capable of meeting modern demands. Older properties across Westcliff, Leigh-on-Sea, and the town centre often retain original wiring with fabric-covered cables, outdated fuse boxes, and circuits without proper earthing. A full rewire addresses all these issues comprehensively, providing safe, reliable electrics backed by full NICEIC certification and peace of mind for years to come.
Sometimes a full rewire isn’t necessary. If your Southend property has had some electrical updating but retains older circuits in certain areas, a partial rewire addresses problem zones without replacing everything. Common scenarios include rewiring upstairs while leaving a recently updated ground floor, replacing dangerous circuits in an older kitchen or bathroom, or upgrading wiring in a specific extension or addition. Our electricians assess your existing installation, test each circuit thoroughly, and recommend exactly what needs replacing. Properties across Thorpe Bay, Eastwood, and Shoeburyness often benefit from this targeted approach—solving safety issues cost-effectively while preserving compliant existing work.
Planning a renovation in Southend? It’s the perfect time to rewire. With walls open and floors lifted, running new cables becomes significantly easier and less disruptive than working in a finished property. Whether you’re renovating a Victorian terrace in Westcliff, updating a 1930s semi in Chalkwell, or modernising a property in Leigh-on-Sea, we coordinate electrical work with your renovation schedule seamlessly. New circuits for kitchen appliances, bathroom zones, home offices, and modern lighting can all be incorporated without additional disruption. Rewiring during renovation saves money, minimises mess, and ensures your updated home has electrics to match its refreshed appearance.
Older properties require specialist understanding. Victorian and Edwardian homes across Southend present unique challenges—lath and plaster walls, timber floors with limited access, and original features worth preserving. We rewire period properties sensitively, routing cables to minimise visible damage and making good carefully afterward. Older wiring often includes hazardous materials like rubber and fabric insulation that deteriorates over time, creating fire risks. Lead-sheathed cables, outdated earthing arrangements, and radial circuits without modern protection all need addressing. The characterful properties across Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff, and the conservation areas around the seafront require particular care. We work sympathetically while ensuring electrical safety meets modern standards.
Rewiring your home is one of the most significant electrical projects you’ll undertake—choosing the right electrician matters. We bring years of experience to every rewire, combining technical expertise with the care and attention your property deserves. From Victorian terraces requiring sensitive work around period features to modern homes needing efficient upgrades, we adapt our approach to suit each property.
We’re NICEIC registered, meaning our work meets the highest industry standards and all notifiable work is certified and reported to building control automatically. You receive full documentation including an Electrical Installation Certificate that protects your investment and provides essential records for insurance and property sales.
We understand rewiring disrupts daily life, so we work cleanly and efficiently, room by room, keeping mess to a minimum and restoring order as we progress. We protect furniture and flooring, clean up daily, and treat your home with respect throughout the project.

Outdated wiring can pose serious safety risks, particularly in older properties. Our home rewiring services in Southend cover both full and partial rewires, upgrading ageing electrics to modern, compliant systems. Whether you’re renovating, extending or experiencing electrical issues, rewiring ensures your home’s electrics are safe, reliable and capable of handling today’s electrical demands. All work is carefully planned to minimise disruption and fully tested on completion.
A modern consumer unit is essential for protecting your home from electrical faults, electric shock and fire risks. We provide professional consumer unit upgrades in Southend-on-Sea, replacing outdated fuse boards with modern RCD or RCBO-protected units that meet current safety standards. Upgrading your fuse board improves fault detection, reduces nuisance tripping and ensures your electrical system is suitable for modern living, renovations and future upgrades such as EV chargers.
Know the true condition of your electrical installation with a professional Electrical Installation Condition Report. We complete EICR testing for Southend homeowners, landlords, and property buyers, identifying defects and potential hazards before they cause problems. Essential for rental properties requiring five-yearly certification and legal compliance. Valuable for understanding whether your home’s electrical system can support EV charging without upgrades. We inspect thoroughly, test comprehensively, and provide clear reports with honest recommendations.
