What will it cost — and will the number you are given at the start still be the number at the finish? That is the question most Telscombe homeowners bring to us first, and it is why every job here runs from a proper survey to a fixed quote, and on to the certificate issued once testing is complete.
Years spent rewiring homes across East Sussex have taught our Part P registered electricians what old walls and older wiring tend to hide, which is precisely why our quotes are exact enough to stand unchanged from the first day of work to the last.
From flint cottages in the old downland village to the interwar bungalows ranged along Telscombe Cliffs, we handle everything from wiring upgrades to complete house rewires — each one priced in full before a floorboard is lifted.
Rather see a figure before you speak to anyone? The online estimate takes a couple of minutes — or ring us, and an electrician will come out and look properly.
Our electricians have spent whole careers rewiring Sussex houses, and each Telscombe project is placed with someone who already knows the property type — a large part of why our quotes hold firm from start to finish.
Because the plan is settled before the van arrives, a full house rewire in Telscombe typically runs to two to five days — a timescale we put in writing alongside the fixed price.
Part P registered electricians sign off every installation to the 18th Edition, and the certificate you keep is dated, itemised proof of it — for insurers, solicitors and future buyers alike.
Whenever you call — before the quote, halfway through the week, or months later — you speak to the electrician who knows your house and your job, not a stranger reading notes.
Behind every Telscombe rewire stands a Part P registered contractor, and that matters for a practical reason: the work is notifiable, inspected and recorded, and the figure on your quote is the figure on your invoice.
Our electricians pass their weeks among East Sussex housing — flint cottages in the downland folds, plotland bungalows along the clifftop, flats behind the seafront parades — with every job finished to the 18th Edition.
Behind them, in turn, sits an office that treats paperwork with the same care as cabling, holding your quote, your schedule and your certificate together from the first phone call to the final handover.
"We bought a tired 1970s semi just off the coast road and had it rewired before moving in. The figure on the quote was the figure we paid — nothing was added along the way — and each afternoon they walked us through what had been done. The walls were replastered and ready for the decorators exactly as promised."
Ageing circuits rarely announce their faults. A few well-judged upgrades can bring an older Telscombe home back inside safe, modern limits.

About Brighton RewireThe popular image of a rewire — a house torn open for weeks on end — bears little resemblance to how the work actually unfolds.
In practice, most Telscombe homes are rewired from end to end within two to five days, and the price agreed before we start is the price you pay at the finish.
Preparation is what makes that possible: routes worked out in advance, materials loaded before day one, and a crew that has repeated the same sequence more times than anyone has counted.
After years spent rewiring homes around Telscombe and East Sussex, the surprises lurking under old floors — the sort that quietly inflate other firms' bills — are usually things we have already allowed for.
The plastering belongs to us as well, chases filled and skimmed as the work proceeds, so the finished walls match the standard of the wiring behind them.

A good share of the Telscombe houses we survey need far less than a full rewire, and we say so. There remains a short list of warnings we never brush aside, and they are worth recognising:
Recognise just one of these? An inspection and some focused remedial work may be all your Telscombe home needs — and whichever way the survey points, the advice will be honest.
The price we give for a full house rewire in Telscombe buys the finished article, with nothing carved out to reappear later as an extra:
Set aside 2–5 days for most Telscombe rewires, the precise figure resting on the property's size, its floor construction and how kindly the cable routes behave — all of it established at survey, so the timetable is fixed alongside the price.
The team works through the property one room at a time, which is why families almost always stay living at home; the kitchen and a bathroom stay in service for all but the odd hour, and the supply only goes off entirely while the new board is connected.
Reinstatement sits inside the same quote: every chase filled, skimmed and left to dry, with decorating the one task that follows later, once the fresh plaster will take paint.
See the day-by-day processFrom the flint cottages of the old village to the bungalows above the cliffs, electrical rewiring is the heart of our Telscombe workload — quoted in full, delivered to schedule and tidied behind us.
Which route suits your home is something the survey settles.
Where the cabling has genuinely worn out — insulation breaking down, a scorched or obsolete fuse board, the odd tingle from a switch — a complete rewire is what we recommend for Telscombe and East Sussex homes. Every circuit is renewed and tested as the work proceeds, a new consumer unit goes in, and sockets, switches and lighting are replaced through the house, all inside one fixed quote.
See what's includedWhere the bones of the installation are still sound, a wiring upgrade renews the weakest parts — tired cable runs, dated earthing and bonding, an old consumer unit — for a fraction of the upheaval. Our Part P registered electricians inspect before they advise; if the system proves beyond sensible repair, we say so plainly and price the full rewire instead.
Explore upgrade optionsAnd if your home falls between the two? Where cabling tests well, a straightforward consumer unit upgrade may be everything an older Telscombe fuse box needs; where only part of the house is struggling, we quote a partial rewire on the same fixed-price terms. The recommendation follows the survey findings, never the other way about.

Try the online estimate, or phone and we will arrange a survey for a time that suits.
Our lead electrician surveys the property, answers questions and notes anything that could affect the figure.
Within about a day you receive one fixed price for the whole job — the number we stand behind.
When the quote works for you, we agree a start that fits neatly around your plans.
Shortly before work begins we run through access, timings and anything else worth settling.
Early on day one the team lands, talks the plan through with you and begins.
You are kept abreast of progress through the week, with quick answers to anything you ask.
Testing is finished, your certificate handed over, and the job closes only when you are satisfied.
You can, and it is how we prefer to work. The figure turns on bedrooms and circuits, how the cables can be routed, and the fittings you choose — so begin with our rewire cost calculator, which produces a realistic guide for Telscombe properties in around a minute, then let a free survey turn that guide into a written quote that does not move once work begins.
Between two and five days for most homes here. A small bungalow generally lands at the shorter end of that range; a larger or two-storey house, or one with solid floors or tricky access, wants longer. The timetable arrives in writing with your quote, so the shape of the week is settled before it starts.
It is. As well as Telscombe village and Telscombe Cliffs, we are regularly at work in Saltdean, Rottingdean, Peacehaven and Newhaven. If your home sits along this stretch of the East Sussex coast, phone us and we will confirm you are within reach.
They are. Each chase gets filled and skim-coated under the same fixed quote, leaving every wall ready for the decorators. Painting is the one job that stays with you, simply because fresh plaster takes a couple of weeks to dry out before it will accept a mist coat.
It means the work is notifiable and handled by electricians registered to self-certify under Part P, with testing to the 18th Edition of BS 7671 throughout. At the end you are handed an Electrical Installation Certificate — the paperwork solicitors, insurers and letting agents expect to see, and the reference point for any future EICR.
Telscombe is really two places in one. Tucked into a fold of the South Downs sits the tiny, ancient village, a cluster of flint cottages around the old church that has changed little in generations and now lies within the South Downs National Park. Down on the coast, Telscombe Cliffs grew up in the plotland years of the 1920s and 30s, when clifftop plots were sold off and bungalows went up plot by plot alongside neighbouring Peacehaven. Many of those interwar homes still carry wiring from an era long before modern circuit protection — exactly the East Sussex housing stock our Telscombe rewires are built around, whether it's a period cottage or a well-loved seaside bungalow.
Our Part P registered electricians are on the road across East Sussex every week, so Telscombe (BN10) and the villages around it are firmly inside our patch. One call books a survey; we handle the rest.
