It is one of the most important parts of any electrical installation because damaged, incorrectly selected or poorly installed wiring can create electrical faults and safety hazards.
Whether you are building, renovating, adding electrical points or dealing with an older installation, the wiring must suit the electrical load, circuit protection and intended application.
We assist with applicable residential and commercial electrical wiring projects in Sandton.

House Rewiring Sandton
Older homes are often altered repeatedly over many years. New plugs, lights, geysers, kitchens, air conditioners and backup systems may all have been added at different times.
When Rewiring May Be Worth Investigating
Age alone does not automatically mean the whole property needs rewiring, but certain warning signs should be checked.
- Brittle or damaged wiring
- Repeated electrical faults
- Burning electrical smells
- Evidence of overheating
- Previous DIY alterations
- Numerous unsafe joints
- Major renovation work
- Wiring that is unsuitable for planned loads
Rewiring Can Be Planned in Stages
Depending on the property, rewiring may involve a complete installation or selected circuits and areas rather than automatically replacing everything.
- Existing wiring assessment
- Distribution board assessment
- Circuit planning
- Plug and lighting requirements
- Fixed appliance requirements
- Future electrical loads
- Backup power considerations
- Inspection and testing
Signs Electrical Wiring May Need Attention
Electrical wiring is generally hidden inside walls, ceilings and conduits, so problems often show themselves through the behaviour of the electrical installation.
Do not ignore signs of electrical overheating.
If you see smoke, active sparking, melted electrical components or exposed live wiring, keep people away from the area. Isolate the electrical supply only if it is safe to do so and contact an electrician.
New Electrical Wiring Installations
New electrical wiring should be planned around how the property will actually be used. Correct circuit planning at the beginning can make future maintenance and electrical expansion much easier.
New Houses
Electrical circuit installation for applicable new residential construction.
Home Extensions
Wiring for new rooms, garages, additions and extended residential areas.
Renovations
Electrical changes associated with kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and broader renovation work.
Offices
Electrical wiring for applicable offices, workstations, lighting and commercial circuits.
Retail & Shopfitting
Wiring associated with applicable retail fit-outs, lighting and electrical outlets.
Workshops & Warehouses
Appropriate electrical circuits according to the equipment and project requirements.
Electrical Wiring for Different Applications
Different electrical loads can require different circuits, conductor sizes, protection and isolation. Electrical wiring should therefore be selected according to the intended use.
How Our Electrical Wiring Service Works
The installation process depends on whether we are repairing existing wiring, adding circuits or completing a larger rewiring project.
Assess
We establish what electrical work is required and assess the relevant existing installation.
Plan
Circuit requirements, electrical loads, routing and protection are considered.
Install
Agreed electrical wiring and related equipment are installed according to the project scope.
Inspect & Test
Applicable electrical work is inspected and tested before completion and certification where required.
Electrical Wiring & Certificates of Compliance
Electrical wiring additions and alterations can affect the Certificate of Compliance requirements for an electrical installation.
South Africa's Electrical Installation Regulations require a Certificate of Compliance for at least an addition or alteration where electrical changes are made to an installation for which a CoC has previously been issued.
Electrical certification is not simply paperwork. Applicable electrical work must first be inspected and tested before certification is issued by the appropriately registered person.
Work That May Affect Compliance
- House rewiring
- New electrical circuits
- Additional plug points
- New lighting circuits
- Distribution board changes
- Geyser circuit changes
- Stove circuit changes
- New building additions
- Renovation electrical work
- Applicable solar or backup changes
Wiring Starts at the DB Board
New electrical circuits must form part of an appropriately designed distribution system.
- Circuit breakers
- Main switching
- Earth leakage protection
- Circuit identification
- Cable protection
- Electrical testing
Wiring & Your Distribution Board
New electrical wiring should not be considered separately from the distribution board supplying and protecting the circuits.
If new circuits are being added, the existing board needs to have suitable equipment, capacity and arrangement for the planned electrical work.
Older DB boards may need modification or upgrading as part of a larger renovation or rewiring project.
