"What's this actually going to cost me?" It's the first thing every Horsham homeowner asks, and it deserves a proper answer. We put a fixed quote in writing before any work starts, then see the job through to the signed certificate — and the figure you agreed is the figure you pay.
Our Part P registered electricians have rewired West Sussex homes for years, and that matters for a simple reason: an experienced surveyor prices accurately, and accurate pricing is what stops extras creeping in halfway through the job.
Listed cottage off the Carfax? Victorian terrace? Postwar semi at the edge of town? We handle full house rewires and electrical wiring upgrades right across Horsham. No property type fazes us.
Want that number sooner rather than later? The online estimate takes two minutes — or call, and we'll send an electrician to price the house properly in person.
Ask any of the team and they'll tell you the same: between them sits more than a hundred years of rewiring experience, and your Horsham job goes to someone who's met your kind of house before.
How long will you have us in the house? For most Horsham rewires, two to five days. Good planning keeps it short — and keeps the quoted price exactly where it started.
Every job is installed by Part P registered electricians and certified to the 18th Edition. You get the paperwork to prove it, and it holds good long after we've packed up.
Have a question at any stage? You speak to the person doing the work. Simple as that — no hold music, no hand-offs, no chasing.
Ask who will actually be doing your rewire and the answer is simple: a Part P registered contractor, every single time. Local work, done right at the first attempt — that's the whole pitch.
West Sussex housing is what we know best, from listed cottages to Victorian terraces and postwar estates, and every installation goes in to the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations.
There's an office behind the site team as well. They take your enquiry, track the job through, and stay available for aftercare once the certificate has been handed over.
"We collected three quotes for our Victorian terrace near Horsham Park and picked this firm because they spelt out exactly what was included. The final invoice matched the quote exactly, with nothing added on — four days of work, walls skimmed and ready for paint when they left. Couldn't ask for more."
A few well-chosen upgrades can make a real difference to how safe an older Horsham house is.

About Brighton RewireDo you have to move out? Almost never.
Most Horsham houses are completely rewired in two to five days, and the price agreed at the start doesn't shift along the way.
How do we keep it that quick? Planning, mostly. The job is worked out in detail beforehand, and the team doing it has repeated the routine hundreds of times.
Years on the tools in Horsham and around West Sussex mean we've already met most of the surprises an older house can spring on you.
The plastering? Included. Chases are filled and skimmed before we leave, so the walls come back ready for paint — not for a second contractor.

Here's the honest bit: a lot of Horsham homes we look at don't need a full rewire. When they do, one of these five signs is usually the giveaway — and each deserves a proper check:
Recognise just one of these? Often an inspection and a bit of targeted work is all a Horsham home needs — and either way, you'll get a straight answer from us.
When we rewire a Horsham home, the quote takes in the whole job — never a stripped-back version of it:
The majority of house rewires we handle in Horsham wrap up in 2–5 days — the exact figure depends on the size of the home, how the cables can be routed, and what turns up once the floorboards come up. A small flat sits at the fast end; a larger or three-storey house at the slower one.
We move through the property room by room, so most families stay put throughout. The kitchen and at least one bathroom keep working bar a single day, and the power only goes fully off while the new consumer unit is swapped in.
Making good is built into the price rather than bolted on: every chase we cut is filled and skim-coated. The only thing left to follow on is the decorating, once the fresh plaster has had a chance to dry.
See the day-by-day processWhether it's a listed cottage near the Causeway or a postwar semi on a modern estate, a full house rewire is the core of what we do in Horsham — and we tidy up properly once the work is done, so any upheaval is kept to a minimum.
Here are the main choices we put in front of local homeowners.
The bulk of our work is the full rewiring service for homes right across Horsham and West Sussex. A full rewire is the sensible call when you're up against faulty wiring, the occasional shock off a switch, a damaged fuse board, or cabling that has simply aged out. We renew every circuit, test and fault-find as we go, fit a new consumer unit and refresh the sockets, switches and lighting from top to bottom.
See what's includedNot every home calls for the full works. A wiring upgrade replaces tired stretches 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 walk you through a full rewire rather than paper over it.
Explore upgrade optionsSitting somewhere between the two? If the cabling itself is still sound, a consumer unit upgrade on its own can bring an older Horsham fuse box up to current standards — and where a survey shows only part of the house needs attention, we'll quote a partial rewire instead of steering you toward a full one. The honest answer comes from an inspection, not a sales pitch.

No two properties are the same, so we price from a survey rather than a set rate card. What moves the figure most is the number of bedrooms and circuits, how readily the cables can be run, and the fittings you settle on. Our online rewire cost calculator gives a realistic ballpark for Horsham homes in under a minute, and a free survey turns that into a fixed quote.
Most rewires here are done in 2–5 days, depending on the property — a small flat sits at the quick end, while a larger or three-storey house, or a period home with solid floors and tight access, takes a little longer. You'll get a day-by-day programme with your quote, so there are no surprises about timing.
Yes — alongside Horsham itself we regularly work in the surrounding villages, including Southwater, Broadbridge Heath, Billingshurst, Warnham, Slinfold and Storrington. If you're anywhere in this corner of West Sussex, give us a call and we'll 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 with you is the painting — fresh plaster needs a couple of weeks to dry out before it will take a mist coat, so decoration follows once it has hardened off.
Yes — every rewire is carried out by Part P registered electricians and tested and signed off to BS 7671 (the 18th Edition). You're handed an Electrical Installation Certificate at completion, which is the document solicitors, insurers and letting agents look for, and the starting point for any future EICR.
Horsham grew up as a West Sussex market town around the Carfax and the tree-lined Causeway, where timber-framed cottages still line the walk down to St Mary's church — many of them roofed with the heavy slabs of local Horsham stone that give the older houses their distinctive look. The Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley was born just outside the town at Field Place in 1792. Beyond the old centre, Horsham's housing runs from listed period cottages to Victorian and Edwardian terraces, interwar semis and bungalows, and later postwar estates — a good deal of it now well past the point at which its wiring ought to be inspected or renewed, which is exactly the kind of home our Horsham rewires are built around.
Our Part P registered electricians are on the road across West Sussex every week, so Horsham (RH12) and the villages around it are firmly inside our patch. One call books a survey; we handle the rest.
