When You Need a Partial Rewire

Upgrading specific rooms or extensions

Many Swindon properties have had kitchen or bathroom extensions added over the years, often with basic electrical work. If you're renovating or need modern socket provision, a partial rewire brings just these areas up to current 18th Edition standards without touching the rest of the house.

Old rubber or fabric cable found

Properties in Old Town and Railway Village often still have sections of 1950s rubber cable or even older fabric-insulated wiring. When found during other work, these circuits need immediate replacement as the insulation deteriorates and becomes dangerous.

Fuse box upgrade with selective rewiring

If your consumer unit needs updating to modern RCD protection, we often find some circuits can stay but others need rewiring. Lighting circuits in pre-1960s terraces around Gorse Hill frequently lack earth conductors and need replacement cable.

New electric heating or shower circuits

Adding electric underfloor heating or upgrading to a higher-powered shower requires dedicated high-capacity circuits. The existing wiring in most Swindon homes isn't rated for these loads and needs upgrading from the consumer unit.

What We Check Before Starting

Testing existing circuits staying in use

We'll test all circuits that aren't being rewired to ensure they're safe to connect to the new consumer unit. Older wiring often shows up issues with insulation resistance that need addressing even if the circuit itself isn't being replaced.

Planning cable routes and access

Partial rewires need careful planning to connect new circuits back to the consumer unit. We'll check loft access, identify which floorboards need lifting, and work out the least disruptive route through your property.

Confirming earthing arrangements

Many older Swindon properties have TT earthing systems with earth rods rather than connection to the supply cable. We need to verify your earthing type before connecting new circuits to ensure proper protection coordination.

Identifying asbestos risks in older properties

Properties built before 1980 around Swindon may have asbestos in ceiling tiles, textured coatings, or pipe lagging. We'll identify any areas where special precautions are needed before drilling or cutting access routes.

How Partial Rewiring Works

1

Isolating circuits being replaced

We start by safely isolating the old circuits at the consumer unit while keeping the rest of your electrical supply live. This means most of your house stays powered while we work on the specific areas being rewired.

2

Running new cable routes

New cables are installed following current BS 7671 wiring regulations, with proper mechanical protection through walls and safe zones. We use twin and earth cable in appropriate sizes, typically 2.5mm² for sockets and 1.5mm² for lighting circuits.

3

Installing new consumer unit protection

Each new circuit gets proper RCD protection and correctly rated MCBs in the upgraded consumer unit. We ensure proper discrimination so that a fault on one circuit doesn't trip protection for unaffected areas.

4

Testing and certification

All new work gets full electrical installation certificate to BS 7671 standards. We test insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance, and RCD operation to prove the installation is safe and compliant.
