Rubber and cloth wiring does not last forever
Many local homes built before the 1960s still have rubber- or cloth-insulated cable. Over decades, that insulation can become brittle and expose the copper inside.
Flickering lights, warm switch plates, a burning smell, or dead power points can all warrant a closer look. Age alone is not the test. For home rewiring, we check the condition circuit by circuit before recommending the work.
Rewire an older home without damaging its character
Federation and interwar homes often have plaster, cornices, and ceiling roses worth keeping. Where possible, we run new cables through the roof space and under the floor, keeping wall chasing to a minimum.
What You’ll Get From a Full Rewire
- Stop worrying about what’s hidden inside your walls.
- Make room for air conditioning, induction, or an EV charger.
- Put power points where you actually need them.
- Receive a Certificate of Compliance for insurers and future buyers.
- New circuits include safety switch protection.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a 1970s house need rewiring?
No, not automatically. Most 1970s homes have PVC cable that may still be sound. Older pre-1960s homes with rubber or cloth wiring are a greater concern. We inspect the wiring and report what we find
Full or partial rewire?
It depends. A partial rewire can make sense when only part of the house has older cable. If outdated wiring runs throughout the property, a full rewire is often more practical than completing the work in stages.
Do I need a new switchboard as well?
Often, yes. Older ceramic-fuse boards may not provide the safety switch protection needed for new circuits.
How long does a house rewire take?
It depends on the size and access. The condition of the existing wiring, layout, and how easily electricians can access the walls and roof space can all affect the duration.
