Old fuse box
Rewireable fuses, old push-button breakers or no RCD protection can indicate an older installation.
Garforth Electrical Ltd provide full and part house rewires in Garforth for older homes, renovation projects, unsafe wiring, outdated fuse boxes and properties flagged during an electrical inspection. If you are buying, selling or upgrading a property, we can inspect the existing installation and advise whether a full rewire, part rewire or remedial repair is the safest option.
The only way to be sure is to have the installation inspected by an approved electrician. Some parts of the property may be satisfactory, while other areas may need upgrading, especially in older homes or properties that have had years of alterations.
Rewireable fuses, old push-button breakers or no RCD protection can indicate an older installation.
Older non-PVC cabling, rubber sheath cabling or cabling with no earth can require further investigation.
Old sockets, switches, damaged accessories or limited socket points may show the system needs modernising.
A home buyer electrical survey can help reveal issues before completion and support negotiation if remedial work is needed.
If you are buying a property in Garforth, an electrical survey is money well spent. It can show whether the property needs rewiring, whether the fuse box is outdated, whether circuits need RCD protection, and whether remedial repairs should be allowed for before you move in.
Garforth Electrical Ltd offer home buyer and home seller electrical surveys with clear findings, photographs and written estimates for remedial repairs where required.
A proper rewire is about more than just getting cables from A to B. It should be planned, protected, tested and finished neatly with safe circuit design and suitable equipment.
Rewires can be disruptive, especially when you live in the property. Garforth Electrical Ltd plan the work properly, protect your home where possible and keep the process as organised as possible.
Existing wiring, fuse box, sockets, switches and circuit condition are checked.
Socket positions, lighting, smoke detectors, appliances and future use are agreed.
Furniture, flooring and occupied areas are considered before disruptive work begins.
New wiring, accessories, circuits and consumer unit are installed neatly and safely.
The finished installation is tested and explained clearly once complete.
Garforth Electrical Ltd recommend RCBO fuse boxes where suitable. Unlike some dual RCD boards, an RCBO board gives individual protection to each circuit. If a fault develops, it can be easier to identify the affected circuit instead of losing a whole bank of circuits at once.
This can be especially useful after a full house rewire, because the new installation is cleaner, clearer and easier to maintain.
