Full house rewires in Christchurch
A full rewire is our main job. You can build your own price on our instant quote tool in about 60 seconds, then we fix it in writing after a free survey. There is no VAT to add, and we charge materials at cost with no markup - our margin is in the labour, and your price is fixed.
Most Christchurch rewires run from about £2,800 for a 1-bed flat to around £11,000 for a 4-bed house. See the full rewire cost guide for ranges by property size.
We rewire empty properties only. It is faster, cleaner and cheaper than working around you, and it is ideal for a house you have just bought or a probate or rental property between tenants. Many Christchurch homes are bought to renovate, which suits this perfectly.
Smaller jobs, done while you live in
Not everything needs an empty house. These jobs are done around you, on a day that suits:
- A new consumer unit if your fusebox has no RCD protection (no test buttons is the quick tell)
- An EICR safety report if you are a landlord, selling, or just want peace of mind
- An EV charger on the drive
- Extra sockets so the extension leads can go
- Fault-finding when something keeps tripping
If the wiring is sound and only the fusebox is dated, you may not need a full rewire at all - just a consumer unit upgrade. An EICR tells you which it is.
Why Christchurch homes need an electrician
Christchurch has a lot of older housing - Victorian and Edwardian homes near the Priory, 1930s semis, and rows of post-war bungalows. Plenty still have their original wiring and an old fusebox with no RCD protection. Once a home is 25 to 30 years past its last rewire, the cables and the board are usually due a look.
The coast adds its own problem. Salt air around Mudeford, Friars Cliff and Highcliffe corrodes outdoor sockets, lights and isolators faster than inland, so we fit weatherproof, marine-grade outdoor gear where it is needed.
If you are not sure whether you need anything done, we will do a free survey and a quick on-the-spot check. If the wiring is fine, we will tell you.
