Still deciding whether to rewire? It's a big call, and for most Crawley homeowners the worry isn't the mess — it's the money. So here's the reassurance up front: you get a fixed written quote before anything starts, and the certificate at the end costs nothing extra. The price you agree is the price you pay.
Worried about creeping extras? That's fair. It's exactly why our Part P registered electricians survey properly before quoting — years of rewiring homes across West Sussex mean we know what to look for under the floors before we price the job, not after.
And whatever you live in — a New Town semi in Tilgate, a terrace by the High Street, a flat near the station — we quote full house rewires and smaller jobs all over Crawley.
So take your time. Run the free calculator, sleep on it, then book a survey when you're ready. No pressure, and no obligation either.
Rewiring is what we do week after week, and Crawley's housing — New Town estates included — holds few mysteries for our electricians. That familiarity is what keeps quotes accurate.
The typical Crawley full rewire takes two to five days. We tell you which before we start, and we plan the job carefully so that estimate holds.
Testing to the 18th Edition and your certificate come with every job, carried out by Part P registered electricians. Included in the quote, like everything else.
When you call, you reach the electrician who knows your rewire — someone able to answer properly, first time. No queues and no runaround.
Handing your house over to a contractor takes trust, and we try to earn it the simple way: every Crawley rewire is completed by a Part P registered contractor, at the price agreed in writing before work begins.
Our electricians spend every week on West Sussex homes of all ages — estate houses, older terraces, interwar semis — wiring each one to the 18th Edition. Familiarity like that keeps surveys accurate. And accurate surveys keep quotes honest.
The office team holds the other end of the bargain: booked dates that stick, paperwork that arrives when promised, and a phone that still gets answered after the certificate is in your drawer.
"What sold us was the quote. Other firms gave day rates and shrugged about extras, but this lot priced our three-bed terrace in West Green as one fixed figure and stuck to it — even when half the ground floor turned out to be solid concrete. Four days of work, walls made good, certificate handed over. Exactly as promised."
A handful of sensible upgrades can make an older Crawley home a good deal safer to live in.

About Brighton RewireA rewire doesn't have to mean weeks of chaos at home.
Most Crawley houses are fully rewired in two to five days, without skimping on price, safety or the standard of the finish.
That pace comes down to planning the work carefully up front and fielding an experienced team who have done this hundreds of times over.
After years working across Crawley and West Sussex, there are very few property types or hidden nasties we haven't already come across.
And because we handle the making-good ourselves — plaster repairs and skim included — the finish ends up matching the quality of the wiring underneath.

A fair few of the homes we survey in Crawley turn out not to need a full rewire at all — but a short list of warning signs is always worth taking seriously. These are the ones we never wave off:
Only spotted one of these? Often an inspection and a little targeted work is all a Crawley home needs — either way, you will get a straight answer from us.
When we rewire a Crawley home, the quote covers the whole job — not a stripped-back version of it:
Most house rewires we carry out in Crawley are finished in 2–5 days — the exact timing depends on the size of the property, how the cables can be routed, and what turns up once the floorboards come up. A compact flat sits at the quick end; a larger or three-storey house at the longer one.
We move through the house room by room, so most families stay put while the work goes on. The kitchen and at least one bathroom stay usable for all but a day, and the power is only fully off while the new consumer unit is swapped in.
Making good is part of the price, not an add-on: every chase we cut is filled and skim-coated. The only thing that follows on afterwards is decorating, once the fresh plaster has had time to dry.
See the day-by-day processWhether it's an older terrace near the High Street or a postwar semi on one of the estates, a full house rewire is the core of what we do in Crawley — and we clear up properly once the work is done, so the disruption is kept to a minimum.
Here are the main options open to local homeowners.
Our bread and butter is the full rewiring service for homes across Crawley and West Sussex. A full rewire makes sense when you are facing faulty wiring, the occasional nip off a switch, a tired 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 worn sections 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? If the cabling itself is still sound, a consumer unit upgrade on its own can bring an older Crawley fusebox up to today's standards — and where 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 out of a survey, not a sales pitch.

Every property is different, so we price from a survey rather than a fixed rate card. The main factors are the number of bedrooms and circuits, how easily the cables can be routed, and the fittings you choose. Our online rewire cost calculator gives a realistic ballpark for Crawley flats and houses in under a minute, and a free survey turns that into a fixed quote.
Most rewires here wrap up in 2–5 days, depending on the property — a compact flat sits at the quick end, while a larger or three-storey house, or one with solid floors and tight access, takes a little longer. You will get a day-by-day programme with your quote so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes — alongside Crawley itself we regularly work across the surrounding neighbourhoods and villages, including Three Bridges, Ifield, Pound Hill, Maidenbower, Gossops Green and Copthorne. If you are anywhere in this corner of West Sussex, give us a call and we will confirm we can reach 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.
Crawley began life as a small market town on the old London-to-Brighton road, and reminders of that survive along the High Street — among them the timber-framed George Hotel. Its modern shape, though, dates from 1947, when Crawley was designated one of Britain's first postwar New Towns and laid out as a ring of self-contained neighbourhoods — Northgate, West Green, Three Bridges, Tilgate and the rest — beside what would grow into Gatwick Airport. Those planned 1950s and 60s estates still make up much of the town's housing, and homes of that age now sit squarely at rewiring age, with original consumer units and cabling that our Crawley rewires are built to bring back up to modern West Sussex standards.
Our Part P registered electricians are on the road across West Sussex every week, so Crawley (RH10) and the villages around it are firmly inside our patch. One call books a survey; we handle the rest.
