Why wiring wears out
Cable insulation degrades over time, and older installations weren't designed for the number of appliances modern households use.
The warning signs
Rubber, lead or fabric-covered cables; an old fuse box with rewireable fuses; frequently tripping circuits; warm or scorched sockets; flickering lights; a burning smell; and too few sockets leading to extension leads everywhere.
What to do next
An EICR will confirm the condition of your wiring. If a rewire is needed, you'll get a clear quote and timeline before any work starts.
