Homes in Dún Laoghaire & South Coast and what that means for electrical
Victorian terraces and large granite and brick villas in Monkstown, Dún Laoghaire, Dalkey and Killiney, with mid-century homes around Blackrock and Booterstown. Sea exposure is high along the whole stretch.
Period homes may still have wiring from the 1960s or earlier, rewireable fuses and few sockets per room, so many jobs end up recommending a partial or full rewire. Outdoor sockets, lights and garden circuits corrode faster near the sea and are a common source of nuisance tripping. 1930s–1960s houses have often been rewired once, but the fuse board may lack modern RCD protection and circuits can be overloaded by modern appliances.
What to check before you hire a electrician
- Check the contractor is registered with Safe Electric Ireland (safeelectric.ie)
- Ask for an ETCI Completion Certificate for new circuits, rewires and fuse board changes
- Get a written quote that separates labour, materials and making good
- Ask whether surface trunking or chasing into walls is planned
- Confirm who is responsible for replastering and redecorating after chasing

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover Blackrock, Booterstown, Monkstown, Dún Laoghaire, Dalkey and Killiney?
Yes. Dún Laoghaire & South Coast includes Blackrock, Booterstown, Monkstown, Dún Laoghaire, Dalkey and Killiney. If you are just outside these areas, get in touch anyway.
What electrical issues are common in Dún Laoghaire & South Coast?
Period homes may still have wiring from the 1960s or earlier, rewireable fuses and few sockets per room, so many jobs end up recommending a partial or full rewire. Outdoor sockets, lights and garden circuits corrode faster near the sea and are a common source of nuisance tripping. 1930s–1960s houses have often been rewired once, but the fuse board may lack modern RCD protection and circuits can be overloaded by modern appliances.
Why does my electricity keep tripping?
Usually an appliance with a fault, moisture in an outside socket or light, or a damaged cable. Unplug everything on the tripping circuit and reset. If it holds, plug appliances back in one at a time to find the culprit.
Do I need a certificate for electrical work?
Yes, for new circuits, rewires and fuse board changes. A Safe Electric registered contractor issues a Completion Certificate, which your insurer or solicitor may ask for.
What should I do if I smell burning from a socket or the fuse board?
Switch off the power at the main switch if it is safe to do so, and do not use the circuit until it has been checked by an electrician. If there is smoke or fire, call 112 or 999.
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Old rubber or fabric-covered cables, a fuse board with rewireable fuses, no RCD protection, scorched sockets or frequent faults are all signs.
