Many older homes across Dublin have electrical installations that may no longer meet modern demands. Some common warning signs can indicate that your wiring or fuse board should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
Outdated Cabling & Cast Iron Boards
Flickering Lights & Tripping Breakers
Socket Shortages & Extension Leads
Older cabling, outdated fuse boards or installations without modern RCD protection can indicate that an electrical system needs upgrading. We can inspect the installation and advise on any recommended improvements.
Frequently tripping circuits, flickering lights, buzzing switches or discoloured sockets can indicate an electrical fault or deteriorating wiring. These issues should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
Heavy reliance on extension leads and multi-plug adapters can indicate that a home does not have enough socket outlets for modern needs. We can assess the installation and recommend safe, practical upgrades.
What Is Involved in a House Rewire
Initial Survey & Circuit Design
First Fix Cabling & Chasing
Second Fix, Sockets & Fuse Board
Testing & Safe Electric Certification
We assess the existing electrical installation and discuss your requirements, including socket, lighting and switch positions, before planning the new circuits.
Where required, we lift floorboards and chase walls to install new cabling for lighting, sockets and dedicated circuits. All cable routes are planned carefully to suit the property.
Once the first-fix work is complete, we install the sockets, switches, light fittings and consumer unit, completing the electrical installation throughout the property.
On completion, the new electrical installation is fully tested and verified. As a Safe Electric registered contractor, Urban Electrical provides the appropriate certification for the completed electrical work.

Do I receive a Safe Electric completion certificate?
How long does a house rewire take in Dublin?
Yes. Upon completing and testing your rewire, Urban Electrical issues an official Safe Electric Completion Certificate. This document is essential for home insurance, building compliance, and property transactions.
The time required for a house rewire depends on the size and condition of the property, whether it is occupied, and the extent of the electrical work required. After assessing the property, Urban Electrical can provide a clearer expected timeframe for the project.
What is the difference between a full and partial rewire?
Can I stay in the house during rewiring?
In some cases you may be able to remain in the property during a rewire, but this depends on the extent of the work and the condition of the existing installation. We can discuss access, power interruptions and the best arrangements before work begins.
A full rewire involves replacing the electrical wiring and circuits throughout the property as required, along with associated sockets, switches and the consumer unit where necessary. A partial rewire upgrades specific circuits or areas of the property while suitable existing wiring remains in service. We can assess the installation and advise which option is appropriate.
