Ifield is two places in one. The old village around the green, St Margaret's church and the mill pond has cottages that are centuries old. Around it, the New Town neighbourhood went up between 1954 and 1957 and those houses are now past seventy. Both kinds are prime candidates for a rewire. The 1950s homes often still have the original cables, sometimes rubber insulated, behind the plaster. The village cottages have been altered so many times that nobody knows what is in the walls.
We start with a full test so you know what you are dealing with. A rewire replaces every cable, socket, switch and the fuse box. We work room by room, keep the power on at night where we can and make good after ourselves. As NICEIC registered electricians we certify the work and notify Building Control. A full rewire of a three-bed Ifield house usually costs between £4,000 and £7,500 and you get one fixed price in writing before we start.
1950s New Town stock
The 1954 to 1957 houses are the ones we rewire most in Ifield. We know the layout and what the original circuits look like.
Old cottages handled with care
Thick walls, timber frames and odd additions need patience. We route cables to protect the fabric of the house.
Live in while we work
Room by room, power back on each evening where we can and a plan you can see.
Your questions, answered
How do I know if my Ifield house needs rewiring?
Fuses you rewire by hand, rubber or fabric covered cables, warm or discoloured sockets, lights that flicker or a burning smell are the usual signs. An EICR test gives a clear answer before you commit to anything.
Can you rewire while we stay in the house?
Yes, in most cases. We work one room at a time and keep the power on overnight where we can. On bigger jobs we agree a plan so you always have a kitchen and somewhere to sleep.
Do you do part rewires in Ifield?
Yes. If the test shows only some circuits are unsafe we replace those and the fuse box and leave sound cables alone. You only pay for what needs doing.
