Commercial Conversion Electrical Rewire – Winckley Square in Preston

Landlord Rewire & Inspection: 204 Promenade, Blackpool

This project initially started with a full electrical inspection to the landlord areas. It quickly became evident that the wiring was the original install from the early 1950’s. Fylde Coast rewires were contracted to provide the full rewiring to all of the landlord areas including two basement carparks, nine floors, one electrical mains room and a plant room located up on the tenth floor. We were able to carry out this project with zero loss of the existing electricity supplies to the residents which was a major factor as there are a number of elderly residents.
