    Domestic House Rewiring in Bray, North Wicklow & South Dublin

    Our flagship service — safe, modern rewires for homes across Bray, Wicklow and South Dublin.

    Domestic House Rewiring in Bray, North Wicklow & South Dublin

    Domestic house rewiring is the heart of what we do at Matthew Brown Electrical. If your home's wiring is over 30 years old, it is more prone to faults, less efficient and often unable to meet the demands of a modern household. We carry out complete, partial and upgrade rewires across Bray, North Wicklow and South Dublin — bringing your home up to current Safe Electric standards with minimal disruption.

    Signs your home may need a rewire

    Your wiring is over 30 years old
    Fuses trip frequently or blow for no obvious reason
    Lights flicker or dim when appliances switch on
    Old rubber-insulated or PVC cables are visible
    Sockets, switches or the fuse board show scorch marks or a burning smell
    You rely on adaptors and trailing leads because there aren't enough sockets

    What's included

    Full and partial house rewires
    Upgrade of ageing or unsafe wiring
    New socket, switch and lighting points
    Safe Electric certification on completion
    Tidy, respectful work in occupied homes

    Full and partial house rewires

    A full rewire replaces all the accessible cables, sockets, switches and accessories in your home and brings the installation fully up to current standards. A partial rewire targets specific circuits or rooms — for example, where an extension has been added or a kitchen refurbished — and integrates the new work with your existing installation. We'll advise honestly on which option suits your home after a proper inspection.

    Our assessment process

    Every rewire starts with an on-site assessment. We inspect your existing wiring, fuse board and accessories, identify any immediate safety concerns, and talk through how you use your home. From there we provide a clear, written quote so you know exactly what's involved and what it will cost before any work begins.

    Rewiring during renovations and extensions

    If you're renovating or extending, it's often the most cost-effective time to rewire. Walls and floors are already open, making it easier to run new cables cleanly and to plan socket and lighting positions around your new layout. We coordinate with your builder so the electrical work fits the build programme rather than being worked around after the fact.

    Keeping disruption to a minimum

    Rewiring is intrusive by nature, but we plan it carefully. We work room by room, keep dust and mess contained, and protect floors and furnishings where we can. Where possible we keep power available to the parts of the house you're still using, and we agree a realistic timescale up front so you can plan around the work.

    Certification and compliance

    On completion we issue the appropriate Safe Electric certification for the work carried out. This documents that your installation meets current standards and gives you a record for insurance and resale purposes. All new work is tested before it's handed over.
