Whether your property needs a complete or partial rewire, Bright Spark can take you from the first consultation through to hand-over. We work directly with you or alongside your builder, on homes and commercial premises across Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Crowborough and the surrounding areas.
All work is carried out to BS7671 standards, with building control notification under Part P of the building regulations, by NICEIC approved electricians. That means the work is certified, compliant and signed off properly.
Not every property needs the whole lot ripped out. A full rewire replaces all the cabling, sockets, switches and the consumer unit throughout the property — usually the right call for older houses with original wiring, or where an inspection has flagged widespread problems. A partial rewire tackles specific circuits or areas, such as a kitchen, an extension, or a single floor.
The honest answer for most people is: you don't know until it's been looked at. If you're trying to work out whether yours is due, our guide on the warning signs it's time to rewire walks through what to look for. One sign worth knowing about is green goo leaking from older cables and sockets — where a full rewire is usually the only real fix.
There's no such thing as a standard rewire price. Karen gets calls every week from people wanting a verbal quote over the phone for "a three-bed" or "a typical house" — and the truth is it can't be done accurately that way.
The cost depends on a number of variables:
A physical site visit is essential to give you a competitive, accurate quote — not a guess that changes once the work starts. Our pricing and rates are transparent: see our Rates & Fixed Prices page. But for a rewire specifically, a separate site visit and written quotation is always recommended.
Most rewires are quoted by sole traders — one electrician and a van. We work differently. Because we have a team, a rewire can be planned and scheduled so several electricians work together on site, which gets the job done properly and more quickly, with less disruption to your home or business.
With over 25 years in the industry, Bright Spark has built a strong reputation for problem solving — and a fair bit of our work is putting right wiring installed long before these towns became commuter country.
We can also offer expert advice at the design stage on the type and placement of lighting, drawn from practical experience. Getting that input before the design is finalised often reduces installation costs and helps you set a realistic budget you can stick to.
Our rewire installations cover:
If a rewire flags up the need for a new consumer unit, we handle that too — see our Fuse Boards service. And if you want the property's condition assessed before committing, our Electrical Testing & EICR service gives you the full picture first.
How much does a house rewire cost? There's no standard price — it depends on the property's size, construction, floor and ceiling types, the number of rooms, and the sockets, switches and lighting you choose. A site visit is the only way to give an accurate, competitive quote.
How long does a rewire take? It varies with the size of the property and whether it's a full or partial rewire. Because Bright Spark works as a team rather than a single electrician, jobs are typically completed more quickly. We'll give you a realistic timescale with your written quote.
Do I need a full rewire or just a partial one? Only an inspection can tell you for certain. Older properties with original wiring often need a full rewire, while newer homes may only need specific circuits or areas updated.
Will the work be certified? Yes. All rewires are carried out to BS7671 standards by NICEIC approved electricians, with Part P building control notification where required, so you receive proper certification.
Do you cover my area? We cover Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Crowborough and the surrounding areas of Kent and East Sussex.

So who would've thought an electrician could have sorted a hot water problem? Well, after a plumber left us with an expensive bill and still no hot water, we called Bright Spark in the hope that they could at least tell us what the problem was. Lo and behold, within 30 minutes, Karen has given us hot water..............excellent service as ever from Bright Spark – thank you
Just to say a big thank you for the work that your electrician carried out at my mothers house. He was very professional and a clean worker and the finished job was a complete success. It is very comforting to know that when a tradesperson attends the property of a elderly customer that they feel safe and happy. Once again, Thanks Keith
This company was recommended by some people on the Nextdoor website. I wanted new lights installed in my kitchen, dining room and conservatory. Karen got back to me within minutes of my email and both Electricians proved to be efficient, friendly and tidy workmen. I will be keeping their business card handy for future use.
Prompt courteous service, with very competitive rates. I have no reservations to recommend this Company.
We recently appointed Bright Spark Electrical Services for upgrading our home electrics. Initially their quotation submitted was very professional, every detail of work to be carried out was itemised. The work was completed very efficiently and very speedily. In fact a good tidy electrical job. I believe in giving credit where it is due I would recommend Bright Spark Electrical Services not only for the work completed in my home, but also for their impressive record, which can be easily checked.
