Electrical work for refurbishments

Electrical Work for Renovations

When a space changes, so do its electrical requirements. A refurbishment is the ideal time to assess what is already in place, what can be retained and what needs to be adapted to the new layout.

Renovation isn’t just about what you can see

A new kitchen, a different layout, more power sockets or new lighting are not just aesthetic changes. They often create new requirements for the electrical installation.

That is why electrical work needs to be planned from the very start of the renovation, rather than after the finishing touches have already been completed. 

What an electrical refurbishment might involve

  1. New or modified wiring
  2. New sockets and switches
  3. New circuits for electrical appliances
  4. Changes to or upgrading of the electrical distribution board
  5. New lighting points and circuits
  6. Connections for kitchen and other equipment
  7. Relocation of existing electrical points
  8. Provisions for future requirements

When should I decide where to place sockets and switches?

Ideally, before the wallwork is completed and before the positions of the furniture and fittings are finalised.

Is it always necessary to completely replace the old wiring?

Not necessarily. This depends on the actual condition of the existing wiring and the requirements of the renovation.

Can I add new requirements that weren’t present in the old house?

This is one of the main reasons why the electrical installation is reviewed during a renovation: the new space may require different sockets, wiring and provisions.
