Partial House Rewiring In Steyning

Partial rewiring focuses on updating specific parts of your electrical system rather than the entire property. This is a common choice for Steyning homeowners who are renovating a single room or adding an extension. We replace old or degraded cables and components in those specific areas, making sure they integrate safely with the rest of your home. It is a cost-effective way to improve safety and performance without the major disruption of a full-house rewire.

The kitchen is the most power-hungry room in any modern home. If you are installing a new kitchen in Steyning, the existing wiring might not be up to the task of powering induction hobs, integrated ovens, and multiple small appliances at once. A kitchen rewire involves installing dedicated circuits and updated socket outlets that can handle these loads. We also make sure all work follows current building regulations, particularly regarding the proximity of water sources to electrical points.

When we carry out circuit upgrades, we always start by looking at your consumer unit (the fuse board). For the new wiring to be safe and compliant with BS 7671 standards, your board needs modern RCD or RCBO protection. If you have an older board with rewireable fuses, we will likely need to discuss a consumer unit integration or upgrade. This makes sure that if a fault occurs on the new circuit, the power cuts instantly to prevent any risk of fire or electric shock.

Steyning is home to many period properties with traditional lath-and-plaster ceilings and historic timber joists. When installing extension wiring, we take great care to route cables neatly and protect the character of your home. We use non-invasive methods where possible and make sure all new domestic electrics are properly earthed. This is particularly important in rural areas where earthing arrangements can be more complex than in newer town builds.

Yes, as long as the work we perform is fully tested and certified. Any new circuits or significant changes we make must meet the latest 18th Edition wiring regulations. While we are only working on a portion of the house, we still verify that the earthing and bonding for the whole property are adequate. Once finished, we provide the necessary Part P notification and certification, which you will need if you ever decide to sell your Steyning property.
