Bungalow rewires in Rustington and East Preston
Rustington, East Preston and Angmering have more bungalows than almost anywhere else on this coast, and a good number of them were built in the fifties and sixties and have never been rewired. If that describes yours, this page is written for exactly your house.
The good news is that a bungalow is the easiest house type to rewire well. Everything sits under one loft, so most of the cabling can be dropped down from above rather than chased across every wall. That means less mess, less making good and, usually, a shorter job than a two-storey house of the same floor area.
The things we find are consistent locally: an original fuse box with no safety switch, immersion and cooker circuits sized for appliances that no longer exist, a conservatory or garage added on a spur off a socket circuit, and outside lighting with no protection. We plan it all with you first, work with floors and furniture covered, and leave the place clean each evening.
Cabled from the loft
Most runs dropped from above rather than chased through walls, so there is far less making good.
Usually quicker
A single-storey layout means a typical bungalow rewire takes less time than a two-storey house the same size.
Conservatories and garages
Add-ons put on their own properly protected circuits instead of hanging off a socket spur.
Lived in throughout
Room by room, power kept on overnight, and everything covered. Most people stay in the house.
Your questions, answered
How much does it cost to rewire a bungalow in Rustington?
It depends on the size and the finishes, but a bungalow is generally more straightforward than a two-storey house of the same floor area because so much of the cabling runs in the loft. We price each one after seeing it, in writing.
How long does a bungalow rewire take?
Often around a week for a typical two or three-bedroom bungalow, sometimes less. You get a day-by-day plan before we start so you know what is happening when.
Is there much mess?
Less than in a two-storey house. Loft runs avoid most of the chasing, and what we do chase is filled and made good ready for decoration as part of the price.
Can it be done in stages?
Yes. If a full rewire is not the right moment we can do it in planned phases, or do a partial rewire of just the circuits that need it, and tell you honestly which makes sense.
