Horsham is the other end of our patch, a short run down the A264 from Crawley. We cover the whole town, from the Carfax and the Causeway in the old centre out to the estates on every side. That includes the new homes going up at Mowbray, north of the A264.
Horsham has a real mix of homes. There are Victorian terraces near the station and the park, 1930s semis on the roads out of town and plenty of newer estates. The older homes keep us busy with rewires and new fuse boxes. The newer ones want EV chargers, extra sockets and outdoor lights.
Around the Carfax, Swan Walk and Piries Place there are shops and offices too. There are also landlords all over town who need their EICRs kept up to date. Wherever you are in Horsham, you get the same tidy work and a fixed price before we start.
We are based in Crawley. Horsham is just down the A264, so it is a regular part of our patch.
Old Horsham, Victorian streets and new estates
The Causeway is the oldest street in town. Its houses date from the 1600s to the early 1800s. Horsham Museum sits in a timber-framed house there. St Mary's Church at the end of the street has Norman roots.
New Town, just east of the centre, went up in early Victorian times. The East Side has Victorian and Edwardian homes north of Brighton Road. South of it the homes are mostly from between the wars and after. Trafalgar has semis and corner shops from around 1900.
Needles was laid out from about 1955, with more homes added after 1972. Holbrook and North Heath are mostly from the late 1900s. North of the A264, Mowbray has permission for up to 2,750 homes.
In the older homes, wiring has often been added to bit by bit. In the newer ones the fuse board is modern, so the work is mostly new circuits.
What we get called out for in Horsham
Rewires in period homes
Horsham has four conservation areas: the Town Centre, London Road, Richmond Road and Park Terrace Gardens. We rewire older homes there room by room and plan each cable route with care.
Fuse boards in post-war homes
Homes in Needles and on the East Side are often due a new consumer unit. We test the wiring first, then fit and certify the new board.
Landlord safety reports
Every let needs an EICR at least every 5 years. We test, write up the report and put right anything that fails.
Extras for new builds
Homes at Mowbray and Highwood often want an EV charger, outside lights or power in a garden room. We add the circuit and certify it.

What we do in Horsham
Electrician in Horsham, questions answered
How much does a rewire cost in Horsham?
It depends on the size of the house, how many circuits it needs and how easy the cables are to reach. A Trafalgar semi is a different job to a big house in Holbrook. We look first, then give you one fixed price in writing.
Can you rewire an old house near the Causeway?
Yes. We plan the routes with you and keep changes small. If your home is listed, ask the council before any work that changes the building.
Do I need a licence to let a house in Horsham?
Only if 5 or more people from 2 or more households share it. The council has no extra licence scheme at present. Every let still needs an EICR at least every 5 years.
Do you cover the villages round Horsham?
Yes. We work in Broadbridge Heath, Southwater, Warnham and the villages nearby. If you are not sure, just call and ask.
