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.

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.
