Cirencester's honey-coloured stone cottages around the Market Place and Cirencester Park are beautiful to live in and, more often than not, wired decades behind the rest of the house. Solid stone walls need a careful hand: chasing has to be planned properly rather than hacked in, and cable routes have to respect walls that are sometimes two feet thick, especially in the older cottages closer to the Abbey Grounds.
We plan the whole job with you first, room by room, then protect floors, chase cleanly and make good so a finished Cotswold-stone cottage shows no trace of the work behind the walls. Every circuit is tested and certified to the current regulations, the job is notified to Building Control, and you finish with a modern consumer unit and the full paperwork for your records.

Cable routes planned around Cotswold stone rather than chased in blind, respecting walls that can be two feet thick.
No need to move out
We work room by room and keep power on overnight where we can, so a Cirencester cottage rewire rarely means leaving the house.

Your questions, answered
How much does a rewire cost in Cirencester?
Most typical three-bed rewires cost between £3,500 and £7,000, with solid stone cottages sometimes towards the higher end because of the extra care chasing takes. You get one exact fixed written price before any work starts.
Will chasing damage the stonework in my cottage?
We plan the routes carefully and use the right tools for solid stone, keeping chasing to a minimum and making good properly afterwards. Most customers are surprised how tidy the finish is.
How long does a rewire take in a stone cottage?
Usually one to two weeks for a typical three-bed home, sometimes a little longer where the walls are particularly thick or access is tight. You get a clear day-by-day schedule before we start.
