Why Corfe Mullen homes need rewiring
Corfe Mullen is one of the biggest villages in Dorset, and most of it was built in one burst. The estates off Wareham Road and Higher Blandford Road went up through the 1960s, 70s and 80s, on top of the older 1930s ribbon housing and the village's old heart around East End.
That matters for wiring. A whole generation of Corfe Mullen homes is now 50 to 60 years old - and a house that has never been rewired since it was built is running on wiring designed for a kettle, a telly and one socket per room.
If you are not sure whether you need anything done, we will do a free survey and a quick on-the-spot check. If the wiring is fine, we will tell you.
The 1960s and 70s estate problem
Homes from Corfe Mullen's big building years share a set of quirks we see again and again:
- No earth on the lighting circuit - standard before 1966, so metal light fittings and switches are a real risk
- A small rewireable fuse board with no RCD protection and no room for new circuits
- First-generation PVC cable - it lasts, but the circuits behind it were sized for 1960s life, not today's kitchens
- Patchwork wiring - fifty years of extensions, porches and garage conversions, each wired by a different hand to a different standard
None of these mean your home is about to fail. They mean it deserves a proper look. An EICR safety report tells you exactly where it stands, in writing, before you spend a penny on a rewire.
Signs your home needs a rewire
A few tells that the wiring in a Corfe Mullen home is past its best:
- An old fuse box with rewireable fuses or no test buttons (no RCD protection)
- Two-pin sockets, or metal light switches with no earth - both date the installation badly
- An extension or conversion on its own mystery wiring that nobody has paperwork for
- Breakers that keep tripping, or sockets and lights that are dead or flickering
- Too few sockets, so extension leads are doing the work
- Warm plugs, scorch marks or a buzzing sound - stop and call an electrician
Do you have to move out?
For a full rewire, yes - we rewire empty properties only. Floorboards come up, walls get chased and the power goes off, so an empty house is faster, cleaner and cheaper than working around you. It is ideal for a house you have just bought, a renovation or extension, or a probate or rental property between tenants.
For smaller jobs you stay put. A new consumer unit, an EICR, an EV charger or a few extra sockets are all done around you, on a day that suits. If the wiring is sound and only the fusebox is dated, you may not need a full rewire at all - just a consumer unit upgrade.

My house was built in the 1960s or 70s - does it need a rewire?
Not automatically - but if it has never been rewired since it was built, the wiring is now 50 to 60 years old and almost certainly due. An EICR safety report tells you for sure, in writing, before you spend anything on a rewire.
Do you do small jobs, or only full rewires?
Both. As well as full rewires we do consumer unit upgrades, EICR safety reports, EV chargers, extra sockets and lights, and fault-finding. Smaller jobs can be done while you live in the home.
Do I have to move out?
Only for a full rewire, which we do on empty properties. Smaller jobs like an EICR, a fusebox swap or an EV charger are done while you live in the home.
Are you qualified, and is there a guarantee?
Yes. We are Part P registered, and every rewire comes with a 10-year workmanship guarantee in writing.
