Electrical Installation for Durham's Older and Period Properties
Durham’s housing includes a lot of stone-built terraces, former colliery houses in the villages surrounding the city, and older properties in and around the centre — many with wiring that’s never been formally documented or upgraded. That matters when it comes to electrical safety: round-pin sockets, an old fuse box rather than a modern consumer unit, or signs like flickering lights and fuses tripping regularly are all indicators that a property’s electrics need attention.
We carry out full and partial rewires, consumer unit upgrades, and general electrical work across Durham city and the surrounding villages. As NAPIT-approved electricians, every job is tested and certified on completion — for many older Durham properties that have changed hands multiple times with no electrical paperwork, this is often the first proper certification the installation has ever had.
What a Rewire Involves in an Older Durham Property
Properties with solid stone walls and original timber floors, common across Durham’s older streets and village housing, tend to need a more careful approach to rewiring than a modern estate house — cable runs aren’t always straightforward, and we plan around the building’s construction rather than forcing a standard approach. A full rewire covers new cabling throughout, every socket, switch and lighting point, and a new consumer unit with modern RCD/RCBO protection.
Our Electrical Installation service includes:
-
Full electrical assessment and EICR where needed
-
Full and partial rewires
-
Consumer unit upgrades
-
Socket, lighting and circuit installation
-
24/7 emergency call-outs

Testing and certification on every job

Great communication and quality work - I'll definitely contact Lee for any electrical works I need in the future.Posted on Google Karen McCarronTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lee was recommended to me when I had problems with kitchen sockets and lights. He managed to fit me in the next morning which I really appreciated. He was very thorough, testing all sockets and thankfully found the problem. He informed me of everything he was doing and before long everything was working again. I will definitely be getting him back to do more work for me. I would highly recommend him.Posted on Google Roger StaplesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Would recommend 100%Posted on Google Erika GrantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lee relocated our distribution board in preparation for our kitchen remodel. It turned out the original jobs hadn't been done particularly well. Not only was Lee able to relocate everything, the setup is now much tidier. We are really pleased with the job done; Lee will hopefully be returning to help in our kitchen remodel. Thanks Lee! 😁👍🏻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Posted on Google Jamie WoodendTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions from our customers about electrical installation and repairs.
My property in Durham is an older terrace — how do I know if it needs rewiring?
Signs include flickering lights, fuses tripping often, round-pin sockets, or a fuse box rather than a modern consumer unit. If your property hasn’t been rewired in 25+ years, it’s worth having assessed.
Do you work on former colliery houses and older village properties around Durham?
Yes — we’re experienced with the stone-built terraces and older housing common throughout Durham’s villages, where cable runs and construction can differ from modern builds.
How long does a rewire typically take in Durham?
A standard rewire usually takes between five and ten working days, depending on the property’s size and construction. We’ll confirm a timeline as part of your quote.
Do you offer emergency electrical call-outs in Durham?
Yes — we provide 24/7 emergency call-outs for electrical faults across our coverage area.
