Rewires

rewired junction box

It is stating the obvious to say that rewiring a property, whether it is your home or business is a major undertaking which will create mess and disturbance. Rewire of an occupied property is both uneconomic and unhealthy. So we recommend in all circumstances that a property is empty when carrying out a rewire.

Do I need a rewire?

The demands of the modern home are far greater than even 10 or 15 years ago. While many appliances are more efficient, there are many more of them. Kitchens and living rooms, particularly, often need far more sockets or changes to lighting.

If you have grey cabling with red and black conductors, then this likely to have been installed over 50 years ago. This cable could still be in good condition, but problems occur if the lighting cable has no earth conductor, which was the norm many years ago. If you have cable which has a black rubber or lead sheath then it needs updating without delay.

The Process

light being rewired

The best results are achieved by meticulous planning and attention to detail. It is important to bring us in at an early point to discuss your plans and wishes for the electrical installation. We can work from either architect plans or discussion with you. Our experience informs us that close discussion with you will ensure you make the final decisions and are delighted with the overall result. We will always offer the best possible advice on location or choice of electrical equipment and our expertise in lighting design and lighting control means we can advise you at every step when choosing and siting lighting and switching.

Often if you are having a rewire there may be other works being considered. We work well with other trades people and understand the importance of timescales.

We are very experienced at working with the challenges presented by older houses and buildings, a particular issue in Sussex towns. We are also experienced in the demands of working in listed properties.

What they are saying...

five stars in gold

After having electrics for a new extension, outside lighting and a new consumer unit poorly installed by a previous contractor, Mark identified and corrected an extensive number of faults, bringing our electrics up to building regulations standard quickly and professionally. He communicated complex problems in an easy to understand way, allowing us to discuss the most cost effective and least disruptive solutions at every stage. Reliable, professional and trustworthy. Also, a nice guy to chat to - and leaves things as he finds them (clean and tidy).

Having recently moved to Hove, finding a tradesman is both tricky and risky. Thankfully, we found Mark. Mark is professional, punctual, methodical and meticulous and always finds a solution when there appears to be none. He also always makes good and leaves your home neat and tidy. Mark also has a tradesman's parking permit which means no "Do you have a resident's vistor permit?" or "Oh! I just have to run out and check the parking on the van!' conversations. His toolbox is an Aladdin's cave of enticing goodies, all organised with military precision and very pleasing if you like that kind of thing (and, apparently, a good way to check the professionalism of a trader). Be warned though: He is very particular about how he drinks his tea! Thanks for all your help and hard work to date, Mark. I only wish you were a plumber too....

Mark Pollock, from Bailey Pollock Electrical Services, put up 3 new light fittings, (and gave me the necessary hooks needed to fit them). He also fitted a dimmer switch and checked some light sockets. Mark is extremely professional, punctual, knowledgeable and courteous. This is the second time I have used the services of Bailey Pollock Electrical Services, having chosen them originally as they are vetted by Trading Standards to help people find trusted and reputable tradespeople. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Mark Pollock was recommended to us by neighbours who were very pleased with the quality of his work. Our work involved the supply and installation of electrical supply to our summerhouse and garden shed. Mark provided exceptional service. He arrived when he said he would, the job took the two days that he said it would and the quality of workmanship was of the very high order we were led to expect. Mark is someone who gets on with the job without fuss and in a quiet and efficient manner. He did everything he could do to fit in with our busy lives, took great care to carry out a neat and efficient installation and ensured everything worked satisfactorily before leaving us. We contacted him the next day with a query. He responded immediately with advice and we were able to resolve the matter quickly and simply. We are more than happy to recommend Mark Pollock to anyone considering electrical work.

A new lighting system was needed in our church and Mark took on the job. He sourced hand made lights and shelves for us, he communicated with the craftsman and took delivery of the goods. He fitted the lights and has done a great job. He undertook the job with enthusiasm and we are so pleased with the final result.

Bailey Pollock provided a number of electrical services for us - including fitting of underfloor heating in two rooms, replacement of electrical sockets and light switches and repairs to downlighting. They carried out the work when they said they would, to time and with a high degree of professional expertise. This was a satisfying and trouble-free experience.

Mark added a new circuit to my ground floor to give me several more sockets and a new switch. He did an excellent job and I plan to ask him to do further electrical work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.

I would definitely recommend Mark. He did a full re-wire of my house, and did an excellent job. Everything was done to my specification, on time, and to budget.
