Cheltenham's Regency townhouses around Montpellier and the Promenade, and the Victorian villas of Prestbury and Leckhampton, are architecturally some of the finest housing stock we work in, and also some of the most overdue for rewiring. Ornate coving, deep skirtings and original plasterwork all demand a careful hand, so we plan the route of every cable before we lift a single floorboard or make a single chase.
We protect original features as we go, chase neatly, and make good so the finished room shows no trace of the work behind the walls. Every circuit is tested and certified to the current wiring regulations, the job is notified to Building Control, and you are left with a rewired Cheltenham period home and the full paperwork, without the cornicing or panelling suffering for it.
Sympathetic to period features
Coving, skirtings and original plasterwork treated with care, with cable routes planned to avoid unnecessary disruption to a Regency or Victorian interior.
Stay at home while we work
We work room by room and keep the power on overnight where we can, so a Cheltenham townhouse rewire rarely means moving out entirely.
Certified and notified
Every circuit tested to the current regulations, certified under our NAPIT registration and notified to Building Control.
Your questions, answered
How much does a rewire cost for a Cheltenham period property?
Most typical three-bed rewires cost between £3,500 and £7,000, with larger Regency townhouses or homes with more intricate joinery sometimes more. We survey the property and give one exact fixed written price before any work starts.
Will a rewire damage the period features in my home?
We plan the cable routes to avoid original coving, panelling and plasterwork wherever possible, and make good carefully wherever we do have to chase. Most customers are surprised how little trace is left.
Can you rewire a Cheltenham home while we're still living in it?
Usually yes. We work room by room and keep power on overnight wherever we can, though for larger or more intricate properties it is sometimes quicker with the house empty, and we'll tell you honestly which applies.
