7 Signs Your House Needs Rewiring

Updated 20 August 2026

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.
