Old wiring quietly costs a house money. It limits what the electrics can carry, unsettles surveyors and insurers, and drags on a sale. A rewire ends the argument — and the certificate issued at sign-off puts that in writing.
Here is how we run a house rewire in Eastbourne. One survey. One fixed quote. The figure you accept is the figure you pay, with no extras invented halfway through — a discipline earned over years of electrical rewiring across East Sussex.
The town's housing keeps us on our toes. Victorian terraces by the seafront. Interwar semis and bungalows. Grand old hotels sliced into flats. We price full rewires and wiring upgrades for every one of them, on what the building actually needs.
Want a number before anyone knocks? The online estimate takes a minute. A short survey turns it into a fixed quote. Neither commits you to a thing.
Our electricians have rewired Eastbourne homes of every age and layout. That depth is what lets us quote one firm figure at the start — and hold it to the end.
Most full rewires here run two to five days. The programme is agreed with the quote, so the finish date is as fixed as the price.
Part P registered electricians carry out every job and certify it to the 18th Edition. The paperwork comes with the quote — never as a billable extra.
Call at any stage and you reach an electrician who has read your job sheet. Quote queries included — especially quote queries.
Each house rewire we deliver in Eastbourne comes from a Part P registered contractor — and each one is quoted as a single fixed figure before any cable is touched.
East Sussex property is our daily work: tall seafront terraces, hotel conversions, postwar estates, all wired and tested to the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations.
The people who price your job also see it through. Enquiry, quote, rewire, certificate, aftercare — one office holds the thread, so nothing drifts.
"We took on a 1930s semi in Hampden Park with its original wiring still in the walls. The quote was itemised line by line and the final invoice matched it exactly — four days of work, sockets where we asked, plaster patched ready to paint, certificate handed over on the last afternoon."
Targeted upgrades can lift an ageing Eastbourne installation to modern standards — quoted fixed, like everything else.

About Brighton RewireWatch a well-run rewire unfold and it looks almost uneventful. That is the point.
Boards lift, cables run, the new consumer unit goes in — and within two to five days most Eastbourne homes are rewired, tested and tidied.
The calm is manufactured. Every job is surveyed, sequenced and priced in full before the first van pulls up.
Years spent rewiring homes in Eastbourne and beyond mean the awkward finds — buried junctions, old DIY, dead cable — are anticipated in the quote, not added to it.
Plastering is ours too. Chases are filled and skimmed, so the finish you decorate matches the wiring behind it.

A surprising share of the properties we survey need less work than their owners fear. Some signs, though, earn a closer look every time. Watch for these five:
Recognise only one item on the list? A survey may show that focused remedial work is enough — and if so, that is precisely what the quote will say.
One written figure covers the entire full rewire of your Eastbourne home, itemised so you can see exactly where it goes:
A typical Eastbourne rewire takes 2–5 days. Flats finish soonest. Larger houses, three storeys or solid floors add time — and the survey tells us which category yours falls into before we ever quote.
You stay home throughout. Rooms are taken in turn, the kitchen and a bathroom stay usable for all but one day, and the supply only goes off while the new board is connected.
The schedule is fixed alongside the price. Plaster repairs sit inside it; the only task left afterwards is decorating, once the fresh plaster has dried out.
See the day-by-day processEvery enquiry starts the same way: a survey, then a fixed written quote for one of two routes — a complete house rewire or a more limited upgrade.
Which route we recommend depends on how the existing installation tests, never on which earns the larger invoice.
When wiring has genuinely reached the end — tingles off switches, perished insulation, a failing board — our full rewiring service for Eastbourne and East Sussex replaces every circuit, installs a new consumer unit and renews sockets, switches and lighting through the whole house. Testing runs continuously, and the figure agreed at the start is the figure on the final invoice.
See what's includedWhere the core cabling still tests soundly, a wiring upgrade renews the weakest sections and lifts the board, earthing and bonding to current standards, at a fraction of the disruption. Our Part P registered electricians always test before recommending — and if the installation is past sensible repair, you will hear that plainly, with a quote to match.
Explore upgrade optionsSitting between the two? A stand-alone consumer unit replacement can modernise an older Eastbourne fuse board where the cabling passes testing — and if only part of the property needs rewiring, the quote will say partial rewire and be priced as exactly that. Surveys decide our recommendations here; sales targets play no part.

A senior electrician walks the property — twenty minutes for most homes — and takes your questions as he goes.
Your itemised written quote follows, usually inside a day. The number will not move.
Happy with the figure? We set a date that suits your household's diary.
Before day one we confirm access, room order and anything you want covered or moved.
The crew arrives early, talks the plan through with you and makes a start.
You hear how each day went, and any question gets a same-day answer.
Full testing, your Electrical Installation Certificate, and a final walk-round together before we leave.
It depends on the building: bedroom count, number of circuits, cable routes and your choice of fittings all move the figure. For a quick starting point, our rewire cost calculator produces a realistic ballpark for local homes in about a minute — then a free survey converts it into a fixed written quote that will not creep once work begins.
Allow 2–5 days for most properties. Compact flats finish fastest; larger or three-storey houses, or those with solid floors and tight access, run longer. Your quote arrives with a schedule attached, so the finish date is agreed before anyone lifts a floorboard.
We do. Old Town, Meads, Hampden Park, Willingdon, Polegate and Pevensey Bay are all regular territory, along with the rest of this corner of East Sussex. Ring the office with your postcode and we will confirm cover straight away.
We do, and it is inside the fixed quote from the outset. Chases are filled and skim-coated ready for decoration. Painting is the one task left with you, since fresh plaster needs roughly a fortnight to dry before it will hold a mist coat.
It is. Part P registered electricians complete and certify every Eastbourne rewire to BS 7671, the 18th Edition. At handover you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate — the paperwork conveyancers, insurers and letting agents routinely request, and a clean baseline for any future EICR.
Eastbourne grew from a scattering of hamlets into an elegant Victorian resort, laid out in large part under the Duke of Devonshire and sheltered beneath the great chalk headland of Beachy Head. Its pier, the seafront bandstand and the ornamental Carpet Gardens still draw crowds along the promenade, backed by sweeping Victorian and Edwardian terraces and grand former hotels, many long since divided into flats. A great deal of that housing is now well past the point at which its wiring should be inspected or renewed — brittle old cable, ageing fuse boards and overloaded circuits are common in stock of this age, and it is exactly the kind of property our Eastbourne rewires are built around.
Our Part P registered electricians are on the road across East Sussex every week, so Eastbourne (BN21) and the villages around it are firmly inside our patch. One call books a survey; we handle the rest.
