Old wiring doesn't announce itself. It sits behind the plaster, degrading quietly, until a fault finds it first. A rewire removes that risk for good — and the completion certificate proves your Battle home meets today's standard.
We are Part P registered electricians with years of home rewiring behind us across East Sussex. The method is simple. Survey thoroughly. Replace what has aged out. Test every circuit before leaving.
Battle's housing spans centuries, from timber-framed cottages near the abbey to Victorian terraces and interwar semis further out. We deliver full house rewires and wiring upgrades across all of it.
Want the numbers? The online estimate takes two minutes. Or call, and an electrician will come and inspect the property properly.
Decades spent rewiring East Sussex homes means we recognise a failing installation on sight. Your Battle property gets an electrician who has handled its type before. No learning on the job.
A rewire is planned in full before it starts, so the work moves quickly. Most Battle houses are completely rewired within a working week — often less.
Part P registered, wired to the 18th Edition, checked circuit by circuit. The Electrical Installation Certificate you receive is evidence, not decoration.
Questions go to the electrician running your job. Not a message service. You get a factual answer, usually the same day.
Part P registration is a legal safeguard, not a marketing line. Every house rewire in Battle we complete is notified, inspected and certificated under it.
Ageing rubber and fabric-insulated cable remains common in this part of East Sussex. We replace it to the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations — in cottages, terraces and semis alike.
The office side is equally disciplined. Dates confirmed in writing, progress reported daily, certificate issued promptly once final testing is passed.
"Our 1930s semi out on the North Trade Road still had its original wiring, and an EICR flagged it as dangerous. These electricians replaced the lot in four days. Straight talking, tidy habits, every circuit tested in front of us before they left. The house finally feels safe."
Wiring past its service life fails without warning. Targeted upgrades cut that risk in older Battle homes.

A fair few of the homes we survey in Battle don't actually need a full rewire — but a handful of warning signs are worth taking seriously. These are the ones we never wave through:
Recognise just one of these? Often an inspection and a little targeted work is all a Battle home needs — and either way, you will get a straight answer from us.
When we rewire a Battle home, the quote takes in the whole job — never a stripped-back version of it:
Most house rewires we carry out in Battle wrap up in 2–5 days — the exact timescale comes down to the size of the property, how the cables can be routed, and what turns up once the floorboards come away. A small cottage or flat sits at the quick end; a larger or three-storey home at the other.
We move through the house one room at a time, so most families stay put while the work goes on. The kitchen and at least one bathroom keep working for all but a day, and the power is only fully off while the new consumer unit is swapped in.
Making good comes as standard, not as an add-on: every chase we cut is filled and skim-coated. All that follows on afterwards is the decorating, once the fresh plaster has had time to dry.
See the day-by-day processWhether it is a period cottage near the high street or a postwar semi on the outskirts, a full house rewire is the core of what we do in Battle — and we tidy up properly once the work is done, so the upheaval stays as small as it can be.
Here are the main options open to local homeowners.
Our main line of work is the full rewiring service for homes throughout Battle and East Sussex. A full rewire is the right call when you are facing faulty wiring, the odd shock off a switch, a damaged fuse board, or cabling that has simply reached the end of its life. We renew every circuit, test and fault-find as we go, fit a new consumer unit and freshen up the sockets, switches and lighting throughout.
See what's includedNot every home needs the full works. A wiring upgrade replaces tired runs of cable or brings your earthing, bonding and consumer unit up to standard, without the reach of a complete rewire. Our Part P registered electricians look over the existing installation first, and if it turns out the system is genuinely on its last legs, we'll be straight with you and talk through a full rewire instead.
Explore upgrade optionsSomewhere between the two? Where the cabling itself is still sound, a consumer unit upgrade on its own can bring an older Battle fuse box up to current standards — and if a survey shows only part of the house needs attention, we will quote a partial rewire rather than steer you toward a full one. The honest answer comes from a look around, not a sales pitch.

Every property is different, so we price from a survey rather than a set rate card. What matters most is the number of bedrooms and circuits, how easily the cables can be run, and the fittings you choose. Our online rewire cost calculator gives a realistic ballpark for Battle homes in under a minute, and a free survey turns that into a fixed quote.
Most rewires here are finished in 2–5 days, depending on the property — a small cottage or flat sits at the quick end, while a larger or three-storey house, or one with solid floors and awkward access, takes a little longer. You will get a day-by-day programme with your quote so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes — as well as Battle itself we regularly work in the surrounding villages, including Netherfield, Catsfield, Sedlescombe, Whatlington and Robertsbridge. If you are anywhere in this corner of East Sussex, give us a call and we will confirm we can get to you.
Yes. Every chase we cut is filled and skim-coated as part of the job, ready for decorating. The one thing we leave to you is the painting itself — fresh plaster needs a couple of weeks to dry before it will take a mist coat, so decoration follows once it has dried out.
Yes — every rewire is carried out by Part P registered electricians and tested and signed off to BS 7671 (the 18th Edition). You receive an Electrical Installation Certificate at handover, which is the document solicitors, insurers and letting agents ask for, and the starting point for any future EICR.
Battle takes its name from the Battle of Hastings, fought close by in 1066, and grew up around the great abbey that William the Conqueror founded on the site of the fighting. The town stretches out along the medieval high street that still runs down from the abbey gatehouse, lined with timber-framed and Georgian frontages that give the centre its character. Around this historic core sit Victorian and Edwardian terraces, interwar semis and bungalows, and later estates on the fringes. A good deal of that older East Sussex stock is now well past the point at which its wiring should be inspected or renewed — which is exactly the kind of home our Battle rewires are built around.
Our Part P registered electricians are on the road across East Sussex every week, so Battle (TN33) and the villages around it are firmly inside our patch. One call books a survey; we handle the rest.
