The grand Victorian and Edwardian houses that make Southport what it is were wired for a lightbulb and not much else. Around Lord Street, Birkdale and Hillside you find high ceilings, deep floor voids and cable that has been extended rather than replaced every time the house changed hands or was divided into flats.
A rewire on a house like that needs planning, not brute force. We walk round room by room first, plan routes that keep cornices, ceiling roses and original joinery intact and agree where every socket and switch should go. Floors get sheeted, walls are made good properly and the whole installation is tested at the end with the results handed to you.
Period detail protected
Cable routes planned around cornices, ceiling roses and original joinery, then made good rather than patched over.
Flats and conversions
Divided houses often have circuits crossing between flats. We map it before we start so the rewire actually solves it.
Priced in writing first
One fixed price agreed before a cable is lifted, with a day-by-day plan so you know what is happening and when.
Your questions, answered
How much does a rewire cost in Southport?
Across the UK a three-bed rewire usually lands between about £4,000 and £10,000. Southport's larger Victorian houses have more rooms and longer runs, so they sit at the higher end. You get one fixed price in writing before anything starts.
Can you rewire one flat in a converted house?
Yes, though we test the whole supply first. In a divided house it is common to find a circuit feeding something outside the flat you are paying for and that needs sorting as part of the job.
Will I lose original features?
Not if it is planned. That is why we walk the house first and agree routes with you. Where a run would damage something original we find another way round it.
How long does it take?
One to two weeks for a typical house, longer for a large villa with many rooms. You get a day-by-day plan before we start.
