House Rewiring in Stafford
Houses and properties usually need re-wiring approximately every 25 years to ensure they meet current safety standards and are not a fire hazard.

At LivEarth Electrical Services, our team can rewire before any plastering or decorating work is carried out.

Why Rewire?
Rewiring is one of the biggest electrical jobs that can be carried out on a home. Sometimes it may be essential if your current wiring is damaged or deteriorating. Although, it is recommended to have wiring that is over 25 years old changed, this does not mean that old wiring is necessarily dangerous. If you have your wiring inspected approximately every 10 years, you can monitor the condition of your wiring systems and stay up to date on how safe they are. If the rubber, fabric or insulated cabling is damaged or worn out, we will advise you to replace your wiring with UPVC coated wiring that is twin earthed.
Old wiring can cause the electrical systems in your house to frequently trip, fuses to blow or a lethal house fire to start. As a result, this can be very dangerous for you and your family. A new wiring system can allow you to have more switches and plugs installed, which is important as electrical powered items are becoming more popular and more frequently found throughout homes. You can use additional plugs in your home for TVs, chargers, computers and kitchen appliances.
Health and Safety
All house rewiring that our team carry out is in strict compliance with the relevant Building Regulations. We take extra care when carrying out work in wet areas where the risk of electrocution is at its highest, for example in the bathroom. No power sockets are allowed in bathrooms unless they are shaver sockets. Moreover, any light switches on the inside of the bathroom must be operated by a cord, low voltage signal cable or battery powered. We can also install electrical showers to your property safely, in a completely sealed unit to prevent the use fromr getting electrocuted.
Commercial Rewires
Rewiring a commercial property may seem daunting and a large inconvenience for your business. However, if you have dangerous electrical systems, your customers and employees could be at serious risk. We provide a process for your property that involves accessing the systems through the floorboards, coverings or skirting boards unless the property is unfinished and still needs some work. Furthermore, we fit boxes with switches and sockets in to keep the electrical systems within your premises all in one place for your convenience. During your commercial rewiring project, we can fit other components for your property including:
- Emergency Lighting
- Burglar Alarms
- Smoke Detectors
- Circuits
- Outdoor Lighting
Electrical Installations
We can carry out a range of electrical installations for your home, including a circuit alternation, replacement fuse box and a partial rewire. The two types of electrical wiring are a joint box system and a loop system, and these are 2 different methods of connecting the electrical energy from the meter board to your home appliances. The circuits within your electrical systems are wired with parallel, switch or series wiring. The installation of lighting is carried out using one of two methods. We can use the ‘conduit and trunking’ method, which involves using PVC single core insulated cables.
The other method we can use involves multicore or composite cables, and we install them using a joint box or loop in technique. Additionally, we can install emergency lighting systems for commercial properties, and the main types are emergency-escape lighting, standby lighting, escape-route lighting and open area lighting.
