Will your wiring cope with what you are about to ask of it? That is the question to settle before the EV charger, the new kitchen or the garden office arrives. A rewire settles it for good, and the certificate at the end proves the installation is safe and up to the load.
Here is the blunt truth: most older cable was never sized for modern demand. Decades of rewiring homes across West Sussex have taught our Part P registered team to design circuits for how people actually live now, not how they lived in 1965.
Selsey is bungalow country, with older cottages around the village core. We carry out full house rewires and partial upgrades in both, and we plan in capacity for induction hobs, EV points and whatever the next twenty years brings.
Want the numbers first? Fair enough. The online estimate takes a minute, or phone the office and an electrician will come down for a proper look.
There is no substitute for time under floorboards. Our electricians have decades of rewires behind them, and every Selsey booking goes to someone who has wired that sort of property before.
Plan a job properly and it does not drag. Most full house rewires in Selsey take two to five days from start to finish, sized to the property.
Part P registered electricians, testing to the 18th Edition, a certificate in your hand at the end. That is the minimum a rewire should meet, and the only standard we work to.
Questions go straight to the electrician wiring your house, whenever they come up. You will not be passed around. That is how we have always run things.
Every Selsey rewire we do runs under Part P registration. No exceptions. Local work, done right the first time, is what keeps a firm like ours going.
Our weeks are spent in West Sussex properties — seafront bungalows, village cottages, postwar semis — lifting their wiring to the 18th Edition and sizing it for the loads people add these days: EV chargers, electric showers, home offices.
The office side runs just as tight. Your enquiry, the schedule, the certificate and the aftercare all get handled without you having to chase anyone.
"We were adding a garden office and an EV charger to our chalet bungalow near East Beach, and the old fuse box was never going to cope. They rewired the lot in four days, left capacity for everything we had planned, and the place was spotless every evening."
A few targeted upgrades can leave an ageing Selsey installation safer and readier for today's loads.

About Brighton RewireA rewire is disruptive if you let it be. We do not let it be.
Most Selsey homes take us two to five days, and we never trim safety or finish to hit that. The planning does the heavy lifting.
Rooms are set in order before we start, cable routes are agreed with you, and the crew that turns up has run this exact sequence hundreds of times.
All those years on jobs around Selsey and West Sussex mean the odd layouts and buried problems are rarely new to us. We have usually seen them before. And fixed them before.
Making good is included — chases filled, walls skimmed. You decorate once the plaster is dry, and that is the whole of your share of the work.

Half the Selsey homes we survey need less work than the owner feared. The other half show at least one of the following, and not one of them should be ignored:
Just the one symptom? Then an inspection and some targeted work may see your Selsey home right. We will tell you straight either way.
A full rewire quote from us covers all of this. No trimmed versions, no extras bolted on later:
Most Selsey rewires take 2–5 days. A single-storey bungalow is quicker. A bigger two-storey house with solid floors is slower. Whatever we find under the boards decides the rest.
You can normally stay living in the house while it happens. We work room by room, keep the kitchen and a bathroom usable for all but a day, and the whole supply is only down while the old board comes off the wall and its replacement goes on.
Filling and skimming the chases is part of our job. Decorating is yours, once the plaster has dried out properly. That split has served our customers well for years.
See the day-by-day processWhether it is a seaside bungalow near the beach or an older cottage in the village, a full house rewire is the core of what we do in Selsey — and we tidy up properly once the work is finished, so the upheaval is kept as short as possible.
Here are the main choices we put to local homeowners.
The heart of our work is the full rewiring service for homes throughout Selsey and West Sussex. A full rewire is the sensible route when you are living with faulty wiring, the occasional nip off a switch, a tired fuse board, or cabling that has simply had its day. We renew every circuit, testing and fault-finding as we go, fit a new consumer unit and freshen up the sockets, switches and lighting from end to end.
See what's includedNot every home calls for the full works. A wiring upgrade replaces worn 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 be honest and talk you through a full rewire instead.
Explore upgrade optionsCaught somewhere between the two? Where the cabling itself is still sound, a consumer unit upgrade on its own can bring an older Selsey fuse box up to current standards — and if a survey shows only part of the home needs attention, we will quote for a partial rewire rather than steer you toward the full thing. The honest answer comes from a proper look, not a sales pitch.

Our lead electrician needs around twenty minutes to survey a typical home and talk through any questions.
A clear, fixed price for the rewire drops into your inbox, usually within a day.
Once the quote suits you, we settle on a start date that works around you.
We check in ahead of the job to tie up any final details before work begins.
Our rewiring specialists arrive early, walk through the plan with you and crack on.
You are updated on progress as we go, and we are always on hand for any questions along the way.
We test the lot, issue your certificate and make sure you are happy before we head off.
No two properties are quite the same, so we price from a survey rather than a fixed rate card. What shifts the figure most is the number of bedrooms and circuits, how easily the cables can be run, and the fittings you settle on. Our online rewire cost calculator gives a realistic ballpark for Selsey bungalows and houses 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 modest bungalow sits at the quick end, while a larger or two-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 where you stand.
Yes — alongside Selsey itself we regularly work across the Manhood Peninsula and beyond, including Sidlesham, East Wittering, West Wittering, Bracklesham and Chichester. If you are anywhere in this corner of West 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 with you is the painting — fresh plaster wants a couple of weeks to dry before it will take a mist coat, so decoration follows once it has fully 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, the document solicitors, insurers and letting agents ask to see, and the starting point for any future EICR.
Selsey sits right at the tip of the Manhood Peninsula, the most southerly point in West Sussex, where a small fishing and farming settlement grew over the last century into a busy seaside town. It is known for its proud lifeboat heritage, and the astronomer Sir Patrick Moore made his home here for many years. Much of the town is single-storey — bungalows and chalets from the interwar and postwar decades sit alongside older village cottages near the church — 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 home our Selsey rewires are built around.
Our Part P registered electricians are on the road across West Sussex every week, so Selsey (PO20) and the villages around it are firmly inside our patch. One call books a survey; we handle the rest.
