Perhaps it started with the landing light that flickers whenever the kettle goes on, or the day you opened the cupboard under the stairs and found a fuse board that looks older than you are. However it began, we walk Pulborough homeowners through the whole journey, right up to the completion certificate that arrives once testing is finished.
Modern life asks far more of a house than the wiring of past decades ever allowed for — induction hobs, an EV on the drive, a home office in the spare room — and after years spent rewiring homes around West Sussex, our Part P registered team plans every new installation with that growing demand in mind.
Whether yours is a period cottage in the old village, an Edwardian house or one of the interwar semis and bungalows nearby, we carry out full house rewires alongside smaller wiring upgrades all over Pulborough.
If you'd like a sense of the cost first, the online estimate will give you one in a couple of minutes — or ring us, and one of the team will pop round for a proper look at the house.
There isn't much a Sussex property can throw at our electricians that they haven't met before, so the person we send to your Pulborough home will already understand how houses like yours were wired — and how they should be now.
Because the whole job is mapped out before anyone arrives, most Pulborough rewires wrap up within two to five days, leaving your home ready for whatever the coming decades ask of it.
All of our work is handled by Part P registered electricians, certified to the 18th Edition, so the installation you're left with will stand up to inspection for many years to come.
Whenever a question crops up — ahead of the quote, halfway through the job, or months after we've gone — you'll be talking to an electrician who knows your house, not a stranger reading notes.
Whenever we rewire a home in Pulborough, a Part P registered contractor sees the job through from beginning to end — a local firm doing careful work for its own community, once and properly.
Our days are spent in West Sussex properties of every age, from listed cottages and village terraces through to interwar semis, and each one is brought up to the 18th Edition with tomorrow's kitchens, car chargers and home offices in mind.
And while the electricians are on site, the office quietly keeps everything moving behind them, from the moment you first ring through to the aftercare that follows once your certificate has arrived.
"We bought an Edwardian house up the hill from the station and the survey showed the wiring was original in places. They rewired it in five days, added the extra kitchen circuits we asked for and left everything ready for an EV charger. Friendly, tidy and endlessly patient with our questions."
Yesterday's wiring was never meant to feed today's kitchens, chargers and home offices — well-chosen improvements bring an older Pulborough home safely up to date.

About Brighton RewireRewiring your home needn't put family life on hold, and with us it rarely does.
In most cases a Pulborough house is rewired over two to five days, and neither the safety of the installation nor the neatness of the finish is sacrificed along the way.
Much of that comes from preparation — the job is planned in detail before the vans arrive — and the rest from a crew who have rewired more homes than they could easily count.
Years of working around Pulborough and the wider county have shown us nearly every kind of property, which means fewer shocks for you and a wiring plan that suits how your household actually lives — including the sockets, circuits and capacity you'll want in years ahead.
We also take care of the plastering ourselves, filling and skimming every chase, so the walls you get back look every bit as good as the wiring behind them is safe.

It's worth saying that many of the houses we visit around Pulborough turn out to be fine with some modest work, so a full rewire is never our starting assumption. Even so, there are a handful of signs we'd always encourage you to act on:
If only one of these rings true, some focused remedial work may well be enough — and we'll always tell you honestly which side of the line your Pulborough home sits on.
Every quote we write for a Pulborough home takes in the complete job, with nothing quietly trimmed out:
Somewhere between 2–5 days covers nearly every rewire we do in Pulborough, with the exact length depending on the size of the house, the routes the cables need to take, and what we discover once the floors are lifted. Cottages and flats tend toward the shorter end, larger houses the longer.
Because we take the house one room at a time, most families simply live around us. You'll keep the kitchen and a bathroom in service for nearly the whole job, and the electricity only goes off entirely while the new board is being connected.
The making-good is ours to do as well: each chase is filled and skimmed before we hand back the house, leaving just the decorating for you once the plaster has properly dried.
See the day-by-day processFrom listed cottages in the village core to postwar semis on the newer roads, rewiring Pulborough homes is the heart of our trade — and because we clean up carefully as we go, the upheaval never outstays its welcome.
These are the two services local homeowners ask us about most.
Most of our diary is taken up by the full rewiring service we offer throughout Pulborough and West Sussex. It suits homes where the cabling has genuinely reached the end of the road — recurring faults, a tired or damaged fuse board, or wiring that predates modern standards altogether. Every circuit is renewed and tested as the job progresses, a new consumer unit goes in, and the sockets, switches and lighting are refreshed room by room, with spare capacity designed in for kitchens, offices and car charging down the line.
See what's includedThen again, not every house needs everything doing. A wiring upgrade concentrates on the weakest parts of the installation — replacing worn cable runs, or bringing the earthing, bonding and consumer unit up to the current standard. Our Part P registered electricians always begin with a careful look at what's there, and should the system prove beyond sensible repair, we'd rather recommend a full rewire honestly than paper over it.
Explore upgrade optionsAnd if your home falls somewhere in the middle? Where the cabling tests well, a consumer unit upgrade by itself can lift an older Pulborough installation to the modern standard, and where a survey finds trouble in only one corner of the house we're happy to quote for a partial rewire instead. It's the inspection that gives you the honest answer, never the salesman.
Real rewiring work around Pulborough and the county — cables going in under floors, boards being dressed, and finished rooms handed back to their owners.
Start with the online estimate, or simply ring and we'll arrange a survey together.
One of our senior electricians spends roughly twenty minutes walking the house with you, answering questions as you go.
Within a day or so, a clear fixed figure arrives in your inbox with everything set out.
When you're ready, we settle on a start date that works comfortably around family life.
Shortly before we begin, we ring round to tie up access, parking and anything else outstanding.
The team arrives bright and early on day one, talks the plan through and makes a start.
As the rewire progresses you're kept up to date, and there's always someone to ask.
Everything is tested, your paperwork is issued, and we make sure you're delighted before we wave goodbye.
That depends on the house itself — how many bedrooms and circuits it has, how kindly it lets us route cable, and the fittings you'd like at the end. Rather than quote from a rate card, we price every job from a survey. For an early feel for the numbers, our rewire cost calculator takes about a minute, and a free home survey afterwards turns that into a fixed written quote.
For most Pulborough homes, between two and five days from start to finish. A cottage or flat is usually done sooner, while a rambling or three-storey house — or one with solid floors — needs a little more patience. Your quote comes with a schedule, so you'll know how each day is meant to run before we begin.
Gladly — Billingshurst, Storrington, West Chiltington, Amberley and Petworth all see us regularly, along with much of this stretch of West Sussex. Give us a call and we'll happily confirm that your address is within reach.
They will — filling and skimming every chase is written into the job, so the plasterwork comes back to you ready for decorating. Painting is the one thing we leave in your hands, simply because new plaster needs a fortnight or two to dry out before it will hold a coat.
It is. Part P registered electricians carry out every rewire we do, testing to BS 7671 — the 18th Edition — as they go, and at the end you're handed an Electrical Installation Certificate. That's the paperwork your solicitor, insurer or letting agent will want to see, and the reference point for every future inspection.
Pulborough sits on a low sandstone ridge above the River Arun, looking out across the wild water-meadows and brooks that flood the valley each winter — the same wetland that draws visitors to the RSPB reserve at Pulborough Brooks just south of the village. The settlement grew up along the line of Stane Street, the Roman road that once linked Chichester with London, and that long history still shows in the older cottages of the village core. Around them stand Victorian and Edwardian houses, interwar semis and bungalows, and later estates — much of it now carrying wiring old enough to warrant inspection or replacement, which is exactly the kind of West Sussex property our Pulborough rewires are built around.
Our Part P registered electricians are on the road across West Sussex every week, so Pulborough (RH20) and the villages around it are firmly inside our patch. One call books a survey; we handle the rest.
