Rewires

Portsmouth Electricians 4U carry out rewires to properties in and around Portsmouth. This involves replacing old deteriorated, fire damaged equipment not meeting current regulations; e.g consumer unit, cables and fittings.

A standard rewire in a 3 bed house will take between a week or two depending on your electrical needs. If you are occupying the property, we take the utmost of care, using dust sheets, carpet protectors, overshoes and ensure a good vacuum at the end of each day. We will endeavour to maintain essential circuits to minimise disruption.

A typical rewire includes the installation of a new RCBO consumer unit, upgrading bonding conductors and meter tails, as well as the following circuits:

Consumer Units/Fuseboards

Consumer unit upgrades in Portsmouth

Since January 2019, the 18th Edition of the wiring regulations came into force that requires the majority of all circuits connected in the consumer unit to be RCD protected and installed in a way to avoid unnecessary tripping. It is for this reason that we now only install RCBO consumer units.

Replacing a board with RCD protection is highly recommended to make the property a safer place and provide protection against appliances if a fault was to occur. Other upgrades can be carried out at the same time to comply with current regulations, e.g. your main earth bonding for your gas and water supply and unearthed lighting circuits.
