A landing light that flickers when the kettle goes on. Two sockets to a bedroom. A fuse board older than the boiler. If that sounds like your house, you are who this page is for — and a house rewire in Shoreham-by-Sea is far less daunting than you might fear.
Start with the money, because that is what most people worry about first. Our Part P registered electricians survey your home, then put one fixed price in writing for the whole rewiring job. That figure does not creep once work begins. Ever.
We carry out full rewires and smaller wiring upgrades all over town — the cottages and Victorian terraces near the old church, interwar semis and bungalows further out, and the newer builds along Shoreham Beach.
Want a rough figure before you commit to anything? Sensible. The online calculator takes about two minutes, or book a free survey and we will look properly.
Our electricians have spent decades rewiring Sussex homes. Whatever your property hides behind its plaster, chances are we have met it before — and priced it accurately.
Most Shoreham-by-Sea rewires take two to five days. We plan every cable route before we arrive, so the schedule holds — and so does the quote.
Part P registered electricians handle every rewire, test each circuit and certify the installation to the 18th Edition. You get the paperwork to prove it.
Ring with a worry — before, during or after the work — and you reach an electrician familiar with your house. No queues. No mystery. Just answers.
Book a house rewire in Shoreham-by-Sea with us and a Part P registered contractor carries out the work — local people, doing careful work, at the fixed price you agreed.
West Sussex houses are what we know: harbour-town terraces, period cottages, postwar semis and the homes out on Shoreham Beach. Everything we fit complies with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations.
There is a small office team too. They answer the phone, chase the paperwork and keep you informed from first enquiry until well after your certificate arrives. You are never left guessing.
"Our 1930s bungalow near Shoreham Beach still had much of its original wiring, and I was braced for chaos and a bill that kept growing. Neither happened. The price was fixed before they started and never moved, the rooms were rewired one at a time, and the plastering was so neat our decorator had almost nothing left to sort."
Targeted upgrades can take real risks out of an older Shoreham home — for a known, fixed cost.

About Brighton RewireDreading the upheaval? Most people are, until they see how we work.
A typical full rewire here takes between two and five days, and the fixed quote you sign covers everything in it — labour, materials, testing and the plastering at the end.
The calm comes from preparation. Cable routes, circuits and fittings are all mapped out before anyone lifts a board.
Years of rewiring Shoreham homes and others throughout West Sussex mean little surprises us — and if something genuinely unexpected turns up, we tell you about it face to face rather than folding it quietly into the bill.
Every chase is filled and skimmed before we hand the house back. Decorating is the only thing left on your list.

First, the reassuring bit: a good share of the Shoreham-by-Sea houses we survey turn out to need far less than a full rewire. Some signals, though, should never be ignored. Here are the five we treat most seriously:
Recognise just one of these? Don't panic. Sometimes a short inspection and some modest work is enough — and if your home doesn't need a full rewire, we will tell you so plainly.
A common worry: extras appearing halfway through. So let's be clear. A full house rewire in Shoreham-by-Sea includes all of this, priced in from day one:
Allow 2–5 days for most Shoreham-by-Sea homes. Small flats finish sooner; larger houses, solid floors or tricky cable runs push toward the upper end. Your quote states the expected duration, so there is no guessing.
Most households keep living at home throughout. Rooms are tackled in sequence, the kitchen and a bathroom stay usable for nearly the whole job, and the supply only goes off briefly while the new board is connected.
Plaster repairs happen before we leave, not weeks later. Once the skim has dried out, you decorate — and that is the whole thing finished.
See the day-by-day processTwo clear routes, one honest recommendation. Every job, whatever its size, comes with a written fixed quote — so you know the cost before a single cable is touched.
Here is how the two options compare for Shoreham-by-Sea homeowners.
Choose this when the wiring itself has reached the end of its life — perishing cables, a tired fuse board, tingles from switches or scorching at sockets. Our whole-house rewiring service renews every circuit, installs a new consumer unit, replaces all the sockets, switches and lighting, and ends with testing and certification. One fixed price covers all of it.
See what's includedSometimes only part of the installation is past it. A wiring upgrade can renew a failing circuit, modernise earthing and bonding, or replace an outdated fuse box on its own — smaller scope, smaller cost. We inspect before we recommend anything, and if an upgrade would only delay the inevitable, we say so before you commit to the wrong job.
Explore upgrade optionsSitting somewhere between the two? Where the cabling tests soundly, a new consumer unit may be all your Shoreham home requires; where one floor needs work and the rest doesn't, we quote a partial rewire. The survey settles it — not a salesman.
Genuine electrical rewiring jobs from Shoreham-by-Sea and the wider West Sussex patch — bare boards and first fix at one end, tested installations at the other.
Try the online calculator or phone us. The first chat costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
A senior electrician surveys your home — around twenty minutes — and takes every question you have.
Your written quote usually follows within a day. The number on it is the number you pay.
Happy to proceed? We fit the work around your diary, not ours.
Shortly before we begin, we run through the plan and anything you need to move or cover.
The crew arrives promptly, walks the house with you, then starts on the first room.
You hear how things are going every day, and any worry gets a straight answer on the spot.
Every circuit is tested, your certificate is issued, and we only leave once you are satisfied.
It depends on your home — bedroom count, number of circuits, how the cables have to run and the fittings you pick all move the figure. What never moves is the quote itself: once we have surveyed the house and put a price in writing, that price holds. For an instant guide before the survey, spend two minutes with our rewire cost calculator.
Allow 2–5 days for most homes. A small flat can be quicker; a big three-storey place, or one with solid floors and awkward access, needs the longer end. Your quote confirms the expected duration before you book, so nothing about the schedule comes as a shock.
We do. Beyond Shoreham-by-Sea itself, our electricians are regularly rewiring homes in Southwick and Portslade to the east, Lancing and Sompting next door, and Steyning up the Adur valley. If you live in this corner of West Sussex, we can almost certainly reach you.
Better than most people expect. Filling and skimming every chase is included in your fixed quote — not an optional extra — so the walls come back smooth and paint-ready. The painting itself we leave with you, simply because new plaster must dry fully before it will hold a coat.
Yes on both counts. We are Part P registered, and each rewire is tested and certified against BS 7671, the 18th Edition of the Wiring Regulations. At handover we give you an Electrical Installation Certificate — the document your insurer, solicitor or letting agent will want to see.
Shoreham-by-Sea grew up as a busy harbour town where the River Adur meets the sea, and the colourful houseboats moored along the estuary are among its best-known sights. The town has deep roots — the Norman church of St Mary de Haura dates from the twelfth century — while just across the water the art deco terminal at Shoreham Airport, one of Britain's oldest airfields, still stands. Local housing runs from period cottages in the old town through Victorian and Edwardian terraces to interwar semis, bungalows and the rebuilt homes of Shoreham Beach, and much of that stock is now well past the age at which its wiring should be checked or renewed — exactly the sort of property our Shoreham rewires are built around.
Our Part P registered electricians are on the road across West Sussex every week, so Shoreham-by-Sea (BN43) and the villages around it are firmly inside our patch. One call books a survey; we handle the rest.
