Many flats in Málaga built before the 1990s still have installations designed for one bulb per room and a fridge: fabric-covered or perished rubber cable, sockets with no earth and a single circuit for the whole home.
If you're renovating, that's the time to redo the electrics: with the walls open it costs far less. We can also work in phases (fuse box and earthing first, then kitchen and bathrooms) if the property is occupied.
Signs your installation is out of date
Sockets with no earth
Two-pin sockets or sockets with no real earth connection.
Fabric or stiff rubber cable
Aged insulation that cracks when you touch it.
A single circuit
Everything depends on one breaker: if it trips, the whole house goes off.
Extension leads everywhere
Too few sockets, badly placed for today's needs.
Bathroom without proper protection
Sockets or lights in splash zones.
You're planning building work

Regulations for kitchens and bathrooms
In bathrooms, ITC-BT-27 defines zones around the bath or shower in which sockets and certain appliances cannot be installed. That's why, when renovating a bathroom, it's worth reviewing the position of every socket and light.
In kitchens, the hob and oven need their own 6 mm² circuit protected at 25 A, and the washing machine, dishwasher and water heater another at 4 mm². If your kitchen has a single circuit for everything, that's the most common reason the power trips when cooking.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rewire a whole flat?
In Málaga, a 70–90 m² flat usually costs between €2,500 and €4,500 plus VAT, including wiring, switches and sockets, and fuse box. The price depends mainly on the number of points and whether the walls are already open for other work.
Can it be rewired without building work?
Partly. If the existing conduits are in good condition, the property can be rewired without breaking into walls. Where there's no conduit or it's blocked, small chases are needed, which are filled and left ready for painting.
Can I live at home during the work?
Yes, if we do it in phases. We organise the work by area so you always have power in most of the property.
How long does it take?
A medium-sized flat usually takes between 4 and 8 working days, depending on the number of points and the condition of the conduits. A kitchen or bathroom takes 1 to 2.
Will you give me a certificate when you finish?
Yes. When we rewire the installation we issue the corresponding certificate, which will also be useful if you need to increase your power or change the account holder.
