Domestic Electrical Work for Older Properties

Wallasey and Wirral have many older properties, and electrical installations can vary considerably depending on their age, previous alterations and maintenance history.

Older installations may have:

• Outdated consumer units
• Older wiring systems
• Limited electrical circuits
• Insufficient socket provision
• Older lighting arrangements
• Previous DIY electrical alterations
• Earthing or bonding issues
• Deteriorated accessories or equipment

An older electrical installation does not automatically need a complete rewire.

The appropriate approach should be based on the condition of the installation and the work actually required.

Where necessary, we can carry out inspection and testing to identify issues and explain the available options.

Electrical Fault Finding & Repairs

Electrical faults can range from a single faulty accessory to problems affecting an entire circuit.

If you’re experiencing:

• Sockets or lights that aren’t working
• Repeated circuit tripping
• Flickering lights
• Burning smells
• Damaged switches or sockets
• Loss of power to part of the property
• Electrical equipment causing a circuit to trip

the installation should be assessed by a competent electrician.

Fox Electrical Services can investigate electrical faults, identify the cause where possible and explain any remedial work required.

If there is a burning smell, smoke, visible damage or another immediate electrical safety concern, switch off the affected circuit if it is safe to do so and seek professional assistance.

Consumer Unit Upgrades

The consumer unit is an important part of your home’s electrical installation.

If your existing fuse board is old, damaged, lacks suitable modern protection or has been identified as requiring attention during an inspection, a replacement or upgrade may be appropriate.

Fox Electrical Services can assess your existing installation and discuss suitable options, including consumer units incorporating RCD or RCBO protection and surge protection where appropriate.

See our dedicated Consumer Unit Upgrades Wallasey & Wirral page for more information.

EICR Testing for Homes and Landlords

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) provides an assessment of the condition of an electrical installation at the time of inspection.

Fox Electrical Services carries out EICR testing for:

• Homeowners
• Landlords
• Rental properties
• Property managers
• Residential properties

An EICR can identify electrical defects, deterioration and areas requiring further investigation or remedial work.

If you’re buying, selling, letting or concerned about the condition of an electrical installation, an inspection can provide useful information about its condition.

See our EICR Testing Wallasey & Wirral page for further information.

Rewiring & Partial Rewiring

A complete rewire isn’t automatically required simply because a property is older.

The condition of the wiring, previous alterations, existing electrical system and the requirements of the property should all be considered.

Where appropriate, Fox Electrical Services can discuss:

• Full rewiring
• Partial rewiring
• New circuits
• Replacement accessories
• Electrical alterations
• Upgrades during renovation work

We’ll explain what is required rather than recommending unnecessary work.

Sockets, Switches & Lighting

This can include:

• Additional sockets
• Replacement sockets
• USB charging sockets
• Light switches
• Ceiling lights
• Wall lights
• Outdoor lighting
• Security lighting
• Replacement light fittings
• Electrical points for appliances

Whether you’re improving an existing room or carrying out a larger renovation, we can discuss the electrical requirements before work begins.

Electrical Work for Renovations & Extensions

Building work often creates additional electrical requirements.

Fox Electrical Services can help with electrical alterations associated with:

• Kitchen renovations
• Bathroom alterations
• Extensions
• Loft conversions
• Garage conversions
• Home offices
• New lighting layouts
• Additional sockets and circuits
• New appliances

Electrical work should be planned alongside other building work wherever possible to help avoid unnecessary disruption.

EV Charger Installation

If you own an electric vehicle, we can also assess your property for a suitable home EV charger installation.

We’ll consider the existing electrical installation, consumer unit, available supply, charger location and cable route before recommending an installation approach.

See our dedicated EV Charger Installation Wallasey & Wirral page for more information.
