Do I Need A Full Or Partial Rewire?

Not every property requires a complete rewire. Following an inspection, we can advise whether a full or partial rewire is the most suitable option.

An electricity meter and fuse box are mounted on a wall inside a small cupboard. Warning and caution labels are visible, along with a handwritten sticky note on the fuse box. Various cables and pipes are connected.
