House Rewire Services in East Sussex
A house rewire replaces outdated electrics with a brand-new system — installing modern cables, sockets, switches, and a consumer unit (fuse box) that meet the latest safety standards.
Qualified, Local Electricians You Can Rely On
At LH Electrical, we carry out full and partial rewires across Lewes, Eastbourne, Uckfield, Hailsham, Crowborough and throughout East Sussex. Our NAPIT-registered electricians ensure your home’s wiring is safe, reliable, and ready to support today’s technology.
What does a house rewire involve?
Rewiring is a complex process that often requires work inside walls, under floors and sometimes ceilings. The job is usually split into two key stages:
- First Fix – running new cables and wiring throughout the property.
- Second Fix – installing visible components like sockets, switches, lighting, and a new consumer unit.
A full rewire modernises your entire electrical system, improving safety, efficiency, and supporting smart technology, EV chargers, and renewable energy systems like solar panels.

How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Common signs include:
- Frequent blown fuses or tripping circuits
- Buzzing sockets or flickering lights
- Rubber or cloth-insulated wiring
- No RCD protection in the fuse board
- No upgrades in the last 25–30 years
If your home shows any of these warning signs, it’s time to book an inspection.
How much does a house rewire cost in East Sussex?
Costs vary depending on property size, age, and complexity:
- 1–2 bed flat or small house: from £2,500–£3,500
- 3-bed semi-detached house: typically £4,000–£6,000
- Larger 4–5 bed homes: £6,500–£9,000+
Partial rewires (such as a kitchen or extension) usually start from £1,500. We’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
