How much does full rewire cost in Ottery St Mary?

How do I know if my house needs a rewire?
Signs include black rubber or fabric-covered cable, round-pin sockets, no earth in light fittings, and sockets only in skirting boards. Many older Ottery St Mary properties (market-town terraces and 1960s–90s estates) have been partly updated, so an EICR first (around £190) tells you if a full rewire is really needed.
What's different about electrics in farmhouses near Ottery St Mary?
Overhead supplies out in the country around Ottery St Mary often have their own earth rod (a TT system), so RCD protection and rod tests matter more. Old outbuildings, long cable runs and damp barns are the other usual issues. Allow a bit longer, and budget nearer £8,065 for big properties.
Do I need consent for full rewire in a listed building in Ottery St Mary?
If the work changes the building's character, yes, you need listed building consent from East Devon District Council. New cable routes through old plaster, visible kit on the front and roof panels are the usual triggers. Like-for-like repairs usually don't. Ask the conservation officer first; it's free.
Can I live in the house during a rewire?
Yes, most people do. Expect dust, lifted floorboards and a few days without power in some rooms. Good electricians leave a working circuit for the fridge and a kettle each night. Allow 4–6 days, then plastering and decorating on top.
How much does a rewire cost for a 3-bed house in Ottery St Mary?
A typical Ottery St Mary rewire costs £5,590, with most jobs between £4,085 and £8,065. Solid stone walls, thatch and listed buildings take longer and cost more. Get the price in writing with the number of sockets and lights included.
Which areas near Ottery St Mary do you cover for full rewire?

Will an electrician in Ottery St Mary fix the plaster afterwards?
Usually they fill the chases roughly, but not to a decorating finish. Most Ottery St Mary electricians work with a local plasterer, so ask if they can book one in. For spotlights or a few new sockets, filling is often enough; after a rewire, plan for a plasterer and redecorating.
Who looks after the cable into my house in Ottery St Mary?
National Grid (South West) owns the supply cable, the main fuse and the cutout in EX11. Your electrician can't touch those. If the cutout is cracked, scorched or old, they'll report it, and National Grid (South West) usually replaces it free.
Is it safe to chase cables into cob walls around Ottery St Mary?
Only shallow, and with care. Cob is mud and straw, and deep chases weaken it and let damp in. Electricians who know old Devon houses around Ottery St Mary run cables in skirtings, under floors or in lime-plastered chases instead. Damp cob is also a common cause of earth faults.
How do Ottery St Mary prices for full rewire compare with Honiton?
Ottery St Mary typically comes in at £5,590 and Honiton at £5,435, with Devon as a whole around £5,200. The gap is mostly down to property type and travel, so a quote from a firm in either town is worth having.
Do I need a certificate for full rewire?
Yes. Most of this work is notifiable under Part P, so you should get a certificate and building-control notice for East Devon District Council.
