Does my wiring look safe

[Kevva]

<div class="bbWrapper">Hi All<br /> <br /> I bought a 3 bed semi 30&#039;s semi recently , and the survey said that my wiring needed urgent attention. I have what looks like a modern consumer box, and the wiring looks like flat grey PVC cable. I have a variety of different plug and light switches, which will need to be changed. <br /> <br /> My concern is what exactly might need attention - the wiring, or the sockets etc. I will be getting someone to look at the situation shorlty, but I wouldnt mind some general views first. Does anyone think my house needs a total rewire. I have posted some pics of my wiring/CU.<br /> Many thanks<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="embed fauxBlockLink" data-embed-content="xfmg_media-9800"

<div class="bbWrapper">The wiring is PVC cable and the pictures show its in reasonable condition - the bits I can see. But there is much, much more to safety of wiring than just looking.<br /> <br /> You should get and electrician who has a qualification in Inspection and Testing to carry out a Periodic Inspectioon Report.<br /> This will detail the condition of the whole installation and hightlight what must and what should be done to bring things up to scratch.<br /> <br /> Expect to pay about £200 for the average sized house.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">You could post some more pics to give us a better idea. <br /> <br /> Things like the CU, The supply coming into the building, some more pics of sockets and switches round the house.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">what does the survey consist of? if its a pir then the results will determine whether its safe or not.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">chances are it will need a major rewire if your planning any moderations as houses wired a while ago often fail the new requirements (ie recently had to change all the lighting cable in a house as it had no earth core.<br /> <br /> if not doing much work then might be fine, wouldnt be able to say without doing a test. as for the wiring, bit untidy but doesn&#039;t look dangerous.</div>
