Bothwell's Main Street conservation area, with its Victorian villas and sandstone terraces, needs a different approach to a modern estate house. Cornice, ceiling roses, panelled doors and original floorboards are exactly what makes these houses worth what they are worth, and a rewire that wrecks them has cost the owner far more than it saved.
So we plan the routes around what is worth keeping. Floors are lifted carefully and relaid, period plasterwork is worked around rather than through, and making good is part of the job rather than someone else's problem. We agree every socket, switch and light position with you room by room before a cable is lifted, and everything is tested, certified to BS 7671 and signed off to the Scottish building standards.

Your questions, answered
How much does a rewire cost in Bothwell?
A three-bedroom house typically runs from around £4,000 to £7,000 in the UK, and a large Victorian villa considerably more given the size and the care needed. We price yours after seeing it.
Will it damage the cornice?
Not if it is planned properly. We route around period plasterwork and agree anything unavoidable with you first rather than on the day.
How long does it take?
One to two weeks for a typical family home, longer for a large villa. You get a day-by-day plan before we start.
Ready for electrics done properly?
Competitive prices, certified work and an immaculate finish, on every single job.
