House Rewires
in Woking, Reading and the Surrounding Berkshire and Surrey Areas

Electricians typically recommend full house rewires at 25- to 30-year intervals. In an era where homeowners seek to improve their properties with house extensions and loft conversions, we advise that your own home always has sufficient electrical capacity for any future expansion plans that you may have. We have a team of accredited NAPIT electricians who can assist you with either full or partial house rewiring services.

JSH Electrical Services trades out of Woking, and we rewire in the surrounding Reading, Berkshire and Surrey areas to current standards set by Part P of the UK Building Regulations, the 18th Edition of the IET Wiring Regulations and BS 7671.


Prior to full or partial house rewires, we check for:

  • Instances of socket, switch and lighting fixture damage

  • Instances of overheating at socket points

  • A limited number of available sockets in each room

  • An outdated fuse box with rewireable fuses

  • Excessive use of extension leads and socket adapters

  • Power sockets and switches mounted onto skirting boards

The Current Condition of Electrical Wiring

An inspection from an electrician will indicate whether a home has recently undergone a rewire. To evaluate whether you need us for full or partial house rewires, we check for exposed wiring around your property and conduct further inspections around electricity meters and consumer boards (or older fuse boxes). Often, we will survey wiring as part of an Electrical Installation Condition Report for a homebuyer’s survey.

If a property in Woking, Reading or the surrounding areas has a fuse box with white ceramic fuses, we recommend upgrading to a new consumer unit and a complete house rewire.

Following an inspection, we can provide the customer with a full written quotation that covers labour and material costings. After arranging a start date for work, we will isolate the electrical supply, strip out the old cables, run new wiring through your property and connect to the consumer unit and the end supply. JSH Electrical Services can label, commission and certificate as part of our rewiring service.

Signs of bad electrical house rewires include:

  • Live parts showing on electrical sockets and switches

  • Cable sheaths left outside electrical wiring accessories

  • Electrical cables protruding out of plastering

  • Holes in fuse boxes, consumer units and accessories

  • Unlabelled fuse boxes and spotlights with no fire rating

  • Wiring accessories and external lights unfit for purpose
