Home Rewiring in Brighton & Hove

A full house rewire is recommended when electrical systems are outdated or no longer safe. Our Brighton electricians replace all wiring, sockets, switches, lighting circuits and consumer units with modern, regulation-compliant components. We work neatly, efficiently and with minimum disruption, ensuring your home meets the latest UK electrical safety standards (BS7671).

Outdated or faulty wiring can be a serious safety risk. If your property still has old rubber cables, a dated fuse box, or electrics that haven’t been touched in decades, it may be time for a rewire.

At Brighton Electrical, we carry out full and partial rewires for homes of all sizes across Brighton & Hove and the surrounding areas. Our experienced team works cleanly and efficiently, carefully routing new cables to minimise disruption and redecoration. Every rewire includes a modern consumer unit, additional sockets where needed, and full testing and certification.

We’ll guide you through the process from start to finish, providing a clear, fixed quote with no hidden surprises. Book a free assessment today.

Common Rewiring Projects

Safe, certified rewiring by trusted Brighton electricians.

Full House Rewiring

Protect your Brighton home with a complete electrical rewire. Older properties across Kemptown, Hanover, and the Seven Dials often retain original wiring that no longer meets safety standards—fabric-covered cables, outdated fuse boxes, and circuits without proper earthing. A full rewire replaces everything from the consumer unit to every socket, switch, and light fitting throughout your property. We work methodically room by room, minimising disruption while ensuring your entire electrical system meets current regulations. Once complete, you’ll have safe, reliable electrics backed by full certification. Essential work for period properties and peace of mind for your family.

Partial Rewiring

Sometimes a full rewire isn’t necessary. If your Brighton property has had some electrical updating but retains older circuits in certain areas, a partial rewire addresses problem zones without replacing everything. Common scenarios include rewiring upstairs while leaving a recently updated ground floor, or replacing dangerous circuits in an older kitchen extension. Our electricians assess your existing installation, test each circuit, and recommend exactly what needs replacing. Properties in Rottingdean, Saltdean, and across Brighton’s suburbs often benefit from this targeted approach—solving safety issues cost-effectively while preserving compliant existing work.

Rewiring for Renovations & Extensions

Planning a renovation in Brighton? It’s the perfect time to rewire. With walls open and floors lifted, running new cables becomes significantly easier and less disruptive than working in a finished property. Whether you’re renovating a Regency townhouse in Brunswick, updating a Victorian terrace in Elm Grove, or modernising a flat in Hove, we coordinate electrical work with your renovation schedule. New circuits for kitchen appliances, bathroom zones, home offices, and modern lighting can all be incorporated. Rewiring during renovation saves money, minimises disruption, and ensures your updated home has electrics to match.

Fuse Board & Consumer Unit Upgrades

Your consumer unit is the heart of your electrical system. Older fuse boxes with rewirable fuses or outdated MCBs don’t provide the protection modern units offer. Upgrading to a current consumer unit with RCDs and AFDDs gives your Brighton home enhanced protection against electric shock and electrical fires. We install metal consumer units meeting the latest regulations, properly labelling all circuits for easy identification. This upgrade often accompanies rewiring work but can also be completed independently where existing circuits are sound. Essential safety improvement for properties in Preston Park, Fiveways, and throughout Brighton.
