Still deciding whether to rewire? Here is the short version. If your Lewes home runs on cable from the 1960s or earlier, it was never designed for today's loads — and a rewire buys you decades of capacity, closed out with a proper test certificate.
We are Part P registered, with years spent rewiring East Sussex properties. That record matters in Lewes, where listed walls and awkward period buildings punish guesswork.
Georgian townhouses on the steep lanes. Victorian terraces. Interwar semis further out. We deliver full rewires and targeted upgrades in all of them, sized for induction hobs, EV chargers and home offices — not the demands of 1975.
Two ways to move forward. Run the online estimate for an instant range, or call and book a survey. Both cost nothing.
Lewes housing is old, often listed and rarely straightforward. Our electricians have rewired that exact stock for years, so your job starts with knowledge rather than trial and error.
Planning does the heavy lifting. Most full rewires in Lewes take two to five days, and you will know the schedule before we start.
Part P registered. Tested to the 18th Edition. Every Lewes rewire ends with the paperwork to prove it — and wiring ready for the next few decades.
Phone us and you reach an electrician who knows your job. Ask a question, get a fact. That holds before, during and after the work.
Part P registration is the baseline. Every rewire we complete in Lewes is notified, tested and certificated — no exceptions.
Our teams are on East Sussex housing daily, from listed townhouses to postwar semis, installing wiring to the 18th Edition with capacity for modern kitchens, EV charging and whatever comes next.
The office keeps pace with the site. One point of contact from first enquiry to aftercare, so decisions get made quickly.
"We rewired our Edwardian terrace up on the Nevill estate before fitting a new kitchen and an EV charger. They planned the circuits around what we actually intend to run, finished inside four days, and emailed the certificate over the day after. Efficient from start to finish."
Older Lewes installations were never sized for modern demand. A handful of upgrades can close that gap safely.

About Brighton RewireA rewire is a capacity decision as much as a safety one.
Most Lewes homes take two to five days. In that time the house gains circuits sized for a modern kitchen, an EV charger, a loft office — whatever the next decade asks of it.
Speed comes from preparation. The route of every cable is decided before the first board lifts, by a team that has done this hundreds of times.
Long experience in Lewes and around East Sussex means old buildings rarely surprise us. Flint, lath, listed plaster — we have worked through it all.
We plaster our own chases too. Filled, skimmed, ready for paint. The finish is part of the job.

Some Lewes houses only need partial work — a survey settles it. But five findings consistently point towards a rewire. Check your home against this list:
Recognise any of them? Get the house inspected. If limited work will do, we will say so — and quote your Lewes home for exactly that, nothing more.
A quote is complete or it isn't a quote. A full rewire from us includes all of this:
Budget 2–5 days. Small flats finish faster. Three-storey townhouses with solid floors take the full run. The survey pins the number down before you book anything.
Nobody needs to move out. Rooms are rewired in sequence, the kitchen and a bathroom stay in service for almost the entire job, and the supply goes off only during the board swap.
Wall repairs are included. Chases get filled and skim-finished as the wiring completes, leaving decoration as the single task that follows — once the plaster has dried.
See the day-by-day processHouse rewires are our core work in Lewes — from cottages up the twittens to semis on the edge of town — and every job is specified with tomorrow's loads in mind: induction cooking, EV charging, heat pumps, home working.
Two service levels cover almost every case.
The definitive fix for wiring at the end of its life. Our full rewire service renews every circuit, installs a new consumer unit and replaces sockets, switches and lighting through the property, with testing at each stage. Choose it for recurring faults, shocks off fittings, or any installation still running pre-1970s cable — and gain the capacity a modern household actually needs.
See what's includedWhere testing shows the cable still has life in it, a wiring upgrade tackles the weak points instead — earthing, bonding, the consumer unit, or a single failing circuit. We inspect before we recommend. If the whole installation is finished, we will tell you straight and price the full rewire honestly.
Explore upgrade optionsIn between? A consumer unit replacement alone often brings an older Lewes fuse board up to current standards where the cabling tests sound, and a partial rewire covers a house where only some circuits have failed. The survey dictates the scope. Nothing else does.

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 run, and the fittings you choose. Our online rewire cost calculator gives a realistic ballpark for Lewes flats and houses 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 flat sits at the quick end, while a larger or three-storey townhouse, 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 Lewes itself we regularly work in the surrounding area, including Ringmer, Barcombe, Kingston, Cooksbridge, Newhaven and the villages towards the Downs. If you are anywhere in this part of East 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 fortnight or two 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.
Lewes is the county town of East Sussex, set where the River Ouse cuts through the Downs and watched over by the ruins of its Norman castle. Its steep lanes and narrow twittens are lined with Georgian and Victorian townhouses, while the timber-framed Anne of Cleves House and the Harveys brewery down by the river speak to centuries of history — as does the town's famously spirited Bonfire Night. Much of the housing here is period and often listed, with Victorian and Edwardian terraces and interwar semis on the fringes, and a good deal of that stock now carries wiring well overdue for inspection or replacement — exactly the kind of home our Lewes rewires are built around.
Our Part P registered electricians are on the road across East Sussex every week, so Lewes (BN7) and the villages around it are firmly inside our patch. One call books a survey; we handle the rest.
