Picture the last day first. Testing complete, the certificate signed, every wall made good — and your house looking like a house again. Everything we do works backwards from that point.
Getting there takes a plan. Our Part P registered electricians have been rewiring homes across East Sussex for years, and each Crowborough job is sequenced room by room so the property stays liveable while we work.
We carry out full house rewires and wiring upgrades throughout the town — Edwardian villas near the Beacon, interwar semis, bungalows, the newer estates. Different houses. Same tidy method.
Want a figure before anyone visits? Run the quick online estimate. Or ring us and we'll book a proper survey of the property.
This is no sideline. Electrical rewiring is our core trade, and the electrician assigned to your Crowborough house will have handled the same age and type of property many times.
Careful sequencing keeps the job short. Most full rewires here take two to five days, one room at a time, with the household still living in the house throughout.
Every circuit is tested to the 18th Edition and signed off by Part P registered electricians. You keep the certificate. The paperwork is as tidy as the wiring.
Ring with a question and you speak to the electrician running your rewire. Not a switchboard. Not a message queue. The person with the drawings in hand.
Every house rewire in Crowborough runs under our Part P registration. Local work, done once, done right.
The team spends the working week on East Sussex housing — tall Victorian villas, tile-hung cottages, postwar semis — and every installation is tested against the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations before sign-off.
Behind them sits a small office that handles the admin without fuss: booking the survey, issuing the quote, sorting aftercare once the certificate is in your hands. You always know where the job stands.
"We stayed put for the whole rewire of our 1930s semi in Jarvis Brook, which we honestly hadn't expected. They cleared a room, wired it, handed it back and moved on — the kitchen was only out of action for a single morning. Dust sheets everywhere and everything hoovered before they left each evening."
Targeted upgrades can bring an ageing Crowborough installation up to today's safety standards without major upheaval.

About Brighton RewireNobody wants to move out for a week. With us, almost nobody does.
Most Crowborough houses are fully rewired in two to five days because we work to a fixed sequence — one or two rooms open at a time, the rest of the home still usable.
The plan is settled before the first floorboard lifts. Cable routes, circuit layout, where the team starts each morning. All agreed in advance.
Years of jobs across Crowborough and the wider county mean the awkward details — solid floors, odd extensions, buried junctions — rarely slow us down.
Chases are filled and skimmed before we go. The walls come back to you ready for paint, not for a plasterer.

Plenty of Crowborough homes we survey need less work than their owners fear. Some need more. Five signs genuinely matter:
Spotted just one? An inspection and some targeted remedial work may be all your Crowborough home needs. We will tell you plainly either way.
A full rewire from us means the complete installation, priced as one job. In Crowborough that covers:
Count on 2–5 days for most Crowborough rewires. Flats finish fastest. Larger villas, solid floors and tight access add time. Your quote states the expected duration before anything starts.
The sequencing matters more than the speed. Rooms are cleared, wired and handed back one at a time, so the family stays in the house. Kitchen and bathroom remain usable for all but a few hours, and full power-down happens only during the consumer unit changeover.
Tidy trades, by instruction rather than accident. Dust sheets go down each morning, tools come off the floor at night, and every chase is refilled and skimmed before we call the job finished.
See the day-by-day processThe full house rewire is the heart of the business — Crowborough's period villas and estate semis alike — and every job ends with the property cleaned, made good and handed back in order.
Two routes cover most local homes.
Where the cabling has reached the end of its working life, our complete rewiring service replaces the lot. Every circuit renewed. A new consumer unit fitted. Sockets, switches and lighting refreshed through the whole house, with testing carried out as the work progresses. It is the right answer for persistent faults, dated fuse boards and wiring that pre-dates modern standards — and it accounts for most of what we do in Crowborough and East Sussex.
See what's includedSometimes the full job is more than the house needs. A targeted wiring upgrade renews the worn parts — earthing, bonding, the consumer unit, a stretch of tired cable — and leaves sound circuits alone. Our Part P registered electricians inspect first and recommend afterwards. If the survey shows the installation genuinely needs replacing outright, we say so plainly and quote for the rewire instead.
Explore upgrade optionsCaught between the two? Where cables still test soundly, a consumer unit replacement on its own may bring an older Crowborough installation up to standard — and if only part of the house needs work, we quote for that part alone. The survey decides it, not a sales target.
A few frames from live jobs around Crowborough and East Sussex. Cable runs at first fix, boards going in, finished installations signed off.
Use the online estimate tool or phone us to arrange a survey.
A senior electrician walks the property — around twenty minutes for a typical Crowborough home — and answers whatever you ask.
Your written quote lands by email, normally the next working day. One price. Nothing hidden in the small print.
Happy with the numbers? We agree a start date around your diary, not ours.
A quick call before day one confirms access, parking and which rooms we open first.
The team turns up early, walks the plan with you and gets straight into the first room.
You hear how each day went and what tomorrow holds. Questions get answered on the spot.
Full testing, your Electrical Installation Certificate, and a final walk-round before we leave.
It depends on the house, so we quote from a survey rather than a price list. Bedrooms, circuit count, cable routes and your choice of fittings all shift the figure. For a quick starting point, our rewire cost calculator produces an estimate in about a minute; the free survey then fixes the price in writing.
Two to five for most local properties. A flat is quickest; a large villa or a house with solid floors takes longer. Because the work is sequenced room by room, disruption stays contained even on the longer jobs — and your quote states the expected duration before you commit.
We do. Jarvis Brook, Rotherfield, Mark Cross, Eridge and Hartfield are all regular territory for us, along with the rest of this corner of East Sussex. Ring and we will confirm cover for your postcode.
Filled and skimmed. Making good is part of every quote, so each chase is plastered flat before we finish. Decorating is the one job left for you — new plaster needs a couple of weeks to dry out before it will hold paint.
We do, as Part P registered electricians. The completed installation is tested to BS 7671, the 18th Edition, and you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate at handover — the document your solicitor, insurer or letting agent will ask for.
Crowborough is the highest town in East Sussex, standing on the northern edge of Ashdown Forest — the ancient heathland that inspired A. A. Milne's Hundred Acre Wood. Its bracing height and clean air saw it grow from a scattering of Wealden cottages into a fashionable Victorian and Edwardian health resort, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle made his home here for more than two decades. That era left the town its stock of large villas and substantial period houses, and much of that wiring is now well beyond the age at which it should be inspected or renewed — which is precisely the kind of home our Crowborough rewires are built around.
Our Part P registered electricians are on the road across East Sussex every week, so Crowborough (TN6) and the villages around it are firmly inside our patch. One call books a survey; we handle the rest.
