Upgrades, Rewires & Consumer Units

Electrical upgrades, rewires and consumer unit replacements are essential for ensuring a property’s electrical system remains safe, reliable and capable of supporting modern living.

At MKW Electrical Contractors, we assess existing installations and deliver tailored upgrade solutions that bring electrical systems up to current standards. Whether replacing an outdated fuse board, upgrading circuits or carrying out a full property rewire, our team focuses on safe, structured installations designed for long-term performance.

Modern consumer units provide advanced protection designed to reduce the risk of electrical faults and improve overall safety.

Upgraded installations include circuit protection devices that quickly isolate faults while allowing the rest of the property to continue operating normally.

Full or partial rewires may be required in older properties where wiring systems no longer meet current electrical regulations.

Professional upgrades help ensure electrical installations remain compliant, reliable and capable of supporting modern appliances and technology.

From the first visit to quote for the work to it's completion they were polite, knowledgable and very efficient.  We are really pleased with their work and would happily recommend them to anyone.

Both Matt & Phil, worked on a two storey building extension and new build office, with plenty of alterations along the way, nothing was an issue.
Thanks again

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used MKW since we moved in, and would thoroughly recommend.   Phil has done several jobs for us, and we now request him as he is a pleasure and clearly knows what he is doing.  He checks and explains everything to us, rings to let us know exactly when he will arrive and leaves everything clean and tidy. Thank you Phil and MKW.

All work was completed before opening hours, meaning there was no disruption to business. I have already scheduled in more work. Friendly, professional and effective

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had Matt come out and fit my EV charger after seeing him complete some work for a family member, no corners cut and the cables ran exactly as I wanted despite it not being the easiest way.

Can’t recommend MKW enough, exceptional workmanship every time. Thanks again Matt.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had some work done recently by MKW. The process with quoting and arranging the work was efficient and the price was agreeable. On the day the tradesman did a good job and it was all done on time. He explained everything thoroughly. Would certainly recommend MKW.
