Is It Time to Rewire Your London Home?

Rewiring is one of the most important upgrades you can make to a property—especially in London, where many homes still rely on outdated electrical systems. Whether you live in a Victorian terrace in Clapham or a mid-century semi in Putney, understanding when and why to rewire can save you from safety hazards, rising energy bills, and costly breakdowns.

As South West London’s trusted electrical contractor, Lumiel (formerly Tutrakan LTD) specializes in rewiring homes and installing new wiring in extensions, loft conversions, and renovations. Here's what you need to know if you’re considering rewiring your property.

⚠️ 5 Signs Your Property May Need Rewiring

If you're unsure whether your home needs rewiring, here are the most common red flags:

1. Frequent Tripped Breakers – A sign your circuits are overloaded or wiring is deteriorating.
2. Old Fuse Boxes – If your home still has a fuse box instead of a modern consumer unit, it's time for an upgrade.
3. Outdated Cable Colours – Black and red wires typically indicate pre-2004 wiring.
4. Flickering or Dimming Lights – May signal poor connections or voltage drops.
5. Burning Smells or Scorch Marks – These are urgent signs to contact a qualified electrician immediately.
