When it comes to your home's electrics, most problems aren’t visible — until something goes badly wrong.
And by then, the damage (and the cost) can be huge. That's why, if you're considering a rewire in Ware, it's absolutely crucial to choose an electrician you can trust. Poor workmanship isn't just an inconvenience — it can put your entire home and your family at serious risk. Here’s what you need to know about the dangers of bad electrical work — and how JJB Electrical makes rewires safe, simple, and stress-free.
The Real Risks of Poor-Quality Electrical Work
We’re often called out to fix problems left behind by unqualified or careless electricians. Over the years, we’ve seen it all — and it’s not pretty. The main dangers include:
- Electrical Fires - Poor connections, overloaded circuits, or substandard materials are a recipe for disaster. Faulty wiring is one of the leading causes of house fires in the UK.
- Electric Shocks - Incorrectly installed wiring or lack of proper earthing can cause fatal electric shocks. It's frightening how often we find basic safety measures completely missing.
- Increased Energy Bills - Bad wiring can cause appliances to run inefficiently, wasting electricity and costing you more every month.
- Failed Home Insurance Claims - If it’s found that your electrics weren’t up to standard — even if you didn’t know — insurers may refuse to pay out.
- Major Repair Costs - Sorting out poor workmanship later usually costs far more than getting it done properly the first time.
Why Are So Many Homeowners in Ware Caught Out?
Unfortunately, electrical work is one of those areas where it’s easy for “cowboys” to operate under the radar. Common reasons people get caught out include:
- Choosing the cheapest quote
- Trusting recommendations without checking qualifications
- Assuming all electricians are properly insured and accredited

Don't Take Risks with Your Family’s Safety
When a homeowner says,
"We found the cheapest guy and regretted it almost immediately..."
"We had a rewire done, but there were no certificates, and now we can't sell the house,"
they're not rare stories.
