Full house rewire specialists serving Bristol and surrounding areas. Fixed written quotations, tidy working, testing and certification on completion, and a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Somerset Rewires Ltd specialises exclusively in full house rewires — it's the only work we do, and Bristol is one of our core service areas. We don't take on general electrical call-outs or odd jobs; every project gets a written fixed-price quotation, full testing and certification on completion, and a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
You'll deal directly with James throughout — from your first enquiry to final sign-off — rather than being passed between office staff and different tradesmen. Every rewire is carried out with dust-conscious working practices, so your home stays as liveable as possible while the work is under way.
Whether your Bristol property is a Victorian terrace in Clifton, an Edwardian semi in Bishopston, or a larger period home in Henleaze, we have the experience to rewire it efficiently and to a standard that stands up to Building Control notification. See our rewire cost guide for typical pricing, or call us on 01934 903497 for a free, no-obligation quote.
Bristol's housing stock is varied. Victorian terraces in Redland and Cotham, Edwardian bay-fronted houses in Bishopston, and the many 1930s semis scattered through Horfield and Filton have often been altered, extended or partially rewired several times over the decades, so the existing installation, cable routes and access can vary considerably from property to property.
Larger period properties around Stoke Bishop and Westbury-on-Trym bring their own complications — solid stone or double-thickness walls that make chasing more involved, and original features like coving, skirting and panelling that need to be worked around rather than through. Converted properties in areas like Bedminster and Southville often have a patchwork wiring history from successive renovations, which is exactly the kind of job a full rewire is meant to put right in one go, rather than patching over what's already there.
Because every property is different, we survey before quoting rather than pricing off a floor plan — that's what lets us give you a fixed price that actually holds once we're on site.
We don't do odd jobs or partial works. We specialise exclusively in full house rewires, which means every job gets our complete focus and expertise.
NICEIC registered (D613939) and Part P compliant. Your rewire is tested and certified on completion, and notified to Building Control.
We provide written fixed-price quotes before any work begins. No hidden extras, no surprises on completion.
We treat your home with respect. Dust sheets down, cables chased in neatly, and everything left tidy at the end of each day.
A full rewire is a whole-house job, and it goes far more smoothly when it's planned as one rather than treated as a string of separate electrical tasks. We plan first fix and second fix around your household, so you're not without power for longer than necessary, and we work room by room to keep disruption manageable.
In older Bristol properties especially, protecting original features — coving, skirting, period doors and architraves — takes care and experience, not just a chase saw. Making-good and chase-filling options can be included within the agreed specification, so walls are left ready for your decorator. Every installation is tested to BS 7671 and certified on completion, and because the scope is fixed from the outset — see what's included in a full rewire — there's no drip-feed of "while we're at it" extras once work has started.
Dealing directly with a specialist rewire company — rather than a general electrician who does rewires occasionally alongside everything else — means the person quoting your job is the person doing it, and has done hundreds like it before.
Bristol has a substantial stock of Georgian and Victorian property, particularly around Clifton, Clifton Village, Redland, Cotham and Stoke Bishop, as well as further out towards Sneyd Park and Westbury-on-Trym. Many of these homes are listed or sit within conservation areas, and a good number have multiple floors, larger floor areas, and a history of alterations that can mean cable routes are more restricted than in a modern house.
Where solid masonry is present, or a property retains decorative plasterwork, cornicing, coving, panelling or original joinery, we design cable routes around the genuine period features identified for retention, rather than simply cutting through them for the easiest route. Where a rewire is part of a wider renovation, we coordinate first and second fix around the other trades on site.
The same specialist approach applies whether it's a straightforward 3-bedroom family home or a substantial period property requiring a more complex rewire — the planning, care and certification standard don't change.
Costs vary depending on the size and age of your property. A 3-bedroom Bristol house rewire typically ranges from £5,000–£8,000 depending on the property and specification. See our full rewire cost guide for a detailed breakdown, or we can provide a free, fixed-price written quote so you know exactly what you're paying before we start.
A standard 3-bedroom house usually takes 5–7 working days — see how long a rewire takes for how that changes with property size. Larger properties may take longer, and we'll give you a realistic timeframe when we survey the property.
Yes, in most cases — we work room by room to minimise disruption and you'll typically have power restored each evening. Read more on living in your home during a rewire.
