When Did Your Home Last Have Its Wiring Updated?
Many Hunts Cross properties were built in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. The electrical installations in these homes were designed for a world without EV chargers, gaming setups, home offices, smart appliances and multiple large screen TVs. If your wiring has not been updated in 25 years or more, it may not be safe or capable of meeting today's demands.
If your fuse board trips frequently it is a clear sign that your electrical installation cannot cope with the demand being placed on it. This is a safety issue and needs investigating by a qualified electrician.
If your consumer unit still has old-style rewirable fuses rather than modern circuit breakers and RCDs you are without the protection that current electrical safety standards require. A fuseboard upgrade is essential.
Wiring from the 1960s and 70s is often insulated with rubber or fabric which deteriorates with age and becomes brittle. This type of wiring presents a serious fire risk and indicates the property is overdue a full rewire.
Warm sockets or switches are a warning sign of overloaded circuits or loose connections. These should never be ignored. A qualified electrician should inspect the installation immediately.
Modern households need significantly more power points than homes built 40 or 50 years ago. If you are relying on extension leads and adapters throughout your home your electrical installation is not fit for purpose.
If you cannot recall when your electrical installation was last inspected it is almost certainly overdue. An EICR from £99 will give you a clear picture of the condition of your wiring and what, if anything, needs doing.

Why Hunts Cross homeowners trust us to upgrade their electrical installations.
Hunts Cross is a south Liverpool suburb covering the L25 postcode, sitting between Garston, Halewood and Speke. The area developed primarily through the 1960s and 1970s with a mix of semi-detached and detached family homes, many of which are still occupied by long-established owner-occupiers or have passed to new families through sale.
As your trusted electrician serving south Liverpool, we see more enquiries from Hunts Cross than almost any other area for rewiring and fuseboard upgrades. The reason is straightforward. Homes built 40 to 50 years ago were wired for a completely different lifestyle. There were no EV chargers, no home offices drawing sustained power, no gaming computers, no smart home systems and far fewer large appliances. The electrical installations in many Hunts Cross properties are simply not designed for what modern families ask of them.
A rewire or fuseboard upgrade is not just about safety. It is also about giving your home the electrical capacity it needs to function properly today and into the future. We carry out free site surveys across Hunts Cross and provide fixed written quotes before any work begins. All rewires come with a 10 year workmanship guarantee and a full NICEIC certificate on completion.
We rewire more Hunts Cross homes than any other service. Bringing 1960s and 70s installations up to modern standards safely and with minimal disruption.
For home buyers, sellers and landlords across L25. Same-day inspections, certificate emailed within 24 hours and a full written report included.
Modern 18th Edition consumer units with individual RCBO protection fitted in one day. Certificate issued on completion. Same-day appointments available.

What Hunts Cross Customers Say
Real reviews from Hunts Cross homeowners
I highly recommend Michael, we had an emergency late at night as our electricity had gone off and he responded straight away to my message and was out to me within 20minutes. He found the issue and resolved it quickly and to a high standard. Michael is really professional and informative. Honestly so grateful to him. Thanks so much!!
Really nice lad came and fitted the EV charger with no fuss. Would recommend
We had ideal come to our house to do a full rewire in April. They explained the work, quoted for all the jobs we wanted doing and explained the timeline and how the work would be carried out. We were able to arrange for the rewire to be carried out while we were away on holiday to minimise the disruption. Following the rewire we received our installation certificate and excellent aftercare. Thanks lads!
