Full & Partial Rewires in Glasgow: What Homeowners Need to Know
If you’re living in Glasgow and considering electrical upgrades, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is whether your property needs a full or partial rewire. Whether you’re renovating a traditional tenement or upgrading a newer home, understanding the rewiring process can save you time, money, and stress.
What Is Electrical Rewiring?
Electrical rewiring involves replacing outdated or unsafe wiring, switches, sockets, and the consumer unit (fuse board) to bring your home up to modern safety standards. In Glasgow, many older homes, especially those built before the 2000s are overdue for rewiring.
