Rewiring your home

Rewiring your home can seem daunting for customers, but Datel are highly experienced and complete many each year. They will cause minimal disruption and damage to decoration, and will ensure your home is electronically safe.

There are several signs to look out for that indicate the age of your electrical system and whethermyour property needs rewiring:

Cables coated in black rubber. Black rubber was phased out
in the 1960's, with cables coated in lead or fabric being even
older. Modern cables use PVC insulation.

A fusebox with a wooden back, cast iron switches, a
haphazard mixture of circuit boxes.

Older round pin sockets and round light switches, braided flex
hanging from ceiling roses to light fittings, black switches,
sockets mounted in skirting boards.

Wall mounted light switches in bathrooms

If any of these features are present in your house, your wiring system is probably several decades old. Safety in your home is vital and we strongly recommend that houses are inspected every ten years.
