Full house rewire specialists serving Bath and surrounding areas, from family homes to substantial period properties. Fixed written quotations, NICEIC registered, tidy working and a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Somerset Rewires Ltd specialises exclusively in full house rewires, and Bath — with its concentration of Georgian and period property — is exactly the kind of work we've built our approach around. Every job is a fixed written quotation, NICEIC registered, and backed by a 10-year workmanship guarantee, with James involved from the initial survey through to final sign-off.
Period and listed properties bring genuine technical demands: solid stone walls, lath-and-plaster ceilings, and wiring routes that have to work around original coving, cornicing and panelling rather than through them. We work in a dust-conscious way throughout, protecting the features that make these homes what they are while bringing the electrics fully up to current standard.
We cover BA1, BA2 and the surrounding villages. Read our guide to rewire timescales or call 01934 903497 for a free, no-obligation quote.
Much of Bath's housing — the Georgian terraces around the city centre, the townhouses in Lansdown and Widcombe, the larger detached homes further out in Combe Down and Weston — was built long before modern electrical demand existed, and often still runs on wiring installed decades ago. Solid stone construction means cable routes have to be planned carefully rather than assumed, and original features are worked around with a sympathetic approach rather than the quickest chase line.
Period and listed properties can require additional consideration where electrical work affects historic fabric. Where relevant, homeowners should confirm any consent requirements with the appropriate conservation or planning professional. Where a rewire is part of a wider renovation, we coordinate first and second fix around the other trades on site so cabling goes in at the right point in the build, not as an afterthought.
Where making good is included within the agreed specification, chases can be filled ready for the next stage of decoration, testing follows BS 7671 and an Electrical Installation Certificate is provided on completion — the same standard whether it's a modern semi in Odd Down or a listed townhouse in the city centre.
No odd jobs, no partial works. Full house rewires are the only work we take on, so every project gets our complete focus.
NICEIC registered (D613939) and Part P compliant. Your rewire is tested and certified on completion, and notified to Building Control.
Rewiring a period property requires careful planning. Original coving, cornicing, panelling and joinery identified for retention are protected throughout, with cable routes planned around them rather than simply cut through for the easiest run.
Written fixed-price quotes before any work begins, agreed after a proper survey — no hidden extras, no surprises on completion.
Costs vary depending on the size, age and construction of your property — period and listed homes can take longer to wire than a standard modern house. See our rewire cost guide for typical figures, or we'll provide a free, fixed-price written quote after a survey.
A standard 3-bedroom house usually takes 5–7 working days, though period properties with solid walls can take a little longer — our rewire timescales guide covers what affects this. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when we survey the property.
