Thinking about a rewire and not sure where to begin? Brighton Rewire walks Worthing homeowners through the whole thing — from that first phone call to the certificate that lands in your inbox once the work is signed off.
Our Part P registered electricians have spent decades rewiring houses across West Sussex, which is why the work stays tidy, well-planned and refreshingly free of surprises.
From the Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the seafront to interwar semis and bungalows further inland, we handle full house rewires and wiring upgrades right across Worthing.
Want a rough idea of the cost before you commit? Try our online estimate, or call and we'll get an electrician out to take a proper look.
Between them, our electricians have well over a century of rewiring behind them, and every Worthing job is handled by someone who has worked on that type of property before.
Careful planning and a team that works together mean most full house rewires in Worthing are wrapped up in two to five days, depending on the property.
Every rewire is carried out by Part P registered electricians and signed off to the 18th Edition, so the standard holds up long after we have packed up and left.
Questions before, during or after your rewire go straight to an electrician who knows your job — not a call centre reading from a script.
Every rewire we carry out in Worthing is completed by a Part P registered contractor, with the focus firmly on local work done properly the first time.
Our electricians spend their week on West Sussex housing stock — period terraces, postwar estates, seafront flats — always working to the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations.
Behind the team on site sits an office that keeps the whole job moving smoothly, from your first enquiry through to aftercare once your certificate has been issued.
"We had our Edwardian terrace near the Worthing seafront completely rewired last spring. The team were straight with us about what actually needed doing, worked around us room by room, and made good every wall they had chased into. Genuinely couldn't fault them."
A few sensible upgrades can make an older Worthing home considerably safer to live in.

About Brighton RewireA rewire needn't turn your household upside down.

And because we take care of the making-good too — plaster repairs and skim included — the finish ends up matching the workmanship underneath.

Plenty of the homes we look at in Worthing don't actually need a full rewire — but a handful of warning signs are worth taking seriously. These are the ones we never ignore:
Spotted just one of these? Often an inspection and a little targeted work is all a Worthing home needs — either way, you will get a straight answer from us.
When we rewire a Worthing home, the quote covers the entire job — not a cut-down version of it:
Most house rewires we carry out in Worthing are finished in 2–5 days — the exact timescale comes down to the size of the property, how the cables can be routed, and what we uncover once the floors come up. A compact flat sits at the quick end; a larger or three-storey house at the longer one.
We work through the house room by room, so most families carry on living at home while it happens. 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 goes in.
Making good is part of the job, not an extra: 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 is a period terrace near the front or a postwar semi inland, a full house rewire is at the heart of what we do in Worthing — and we clear up properly once the work is done, so the disruption is kept to a minimum.
Here are the main options we offer local homeowners.
Our main line of work is the full rewiring service for homes across Worthing and West Sussex. A full rewire is the right call when you are dealing with faulty wiring, the odd shock off a switch, a damaged fuse board, or simply cabling that has aged out. We replace every circuit, test and fault-find as we go, fit a new consumer unit and refresh the sockets, switches and lighting throughout.
See what's includedNot every job needs the full treatment. A wiring upgrade swaps out tired sections of cabling or brings your earthing, bonding and consumer unit up to standard, without the scope of a complete rewire. Our Part P registered electricians inspect the existing installation first, and if it turns out the system is genuinely struggling, we'll talk you through a full rewire instead of papering over it.
Explore upgrade optionsSomewhere in the middle? If the cabling itself is sound, a consumer unit upgrade alone can bring an older Worthing fuse box up to current standards — and where an inspection shows only part of the house needs attention, we will quote a partial rewire rather than push you toward a full one. The honest answer comes from a survey, not a sales pitch.

Every property is different, so we price from a survey rather than a fixed rate card. The biggest factors are the number of bedrooms and circuits, how easily the cables can be run, and the fittings you go for. Our online rewire cost calculator gives a realistic ballpark for Worthing 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 compact 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 Worthing itself we regularly work in the surrounding areas, including Goring-by-Sea, Ferring, Sompting, Lancing and Findon. If you are anywhere in this part of West 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 baseline for any future EICR.
Worthing grew from a small fishing hamlet into a genteel Georgian and later Victorian seaside resort, and its pier — with the art deco Southern Pavilion at the seaward end — still anchors the seafront. Oscar Wilde famously wrote much of The Importance of Being Earnest while staying in the town in 1894. Much of Worthing's housing is Victorian and Edwardian terracing near the front, with interwar semis and bungalows spreading inland toward the Downs, and a good deal of that stock is now well past the age at which its wiring should be inspected or replaced — which is exactly the kind of property our Worthing rewires are built around.
Our Part P registered electricians are on the road across West Sussex every week, so Worthing (BN11) and the villages around it are firmly inside our patch. One call books a survey; we handle the rest.
