House rewiring in Overton
JD Electricals carries out house rewiring in Overton. The visit starts with which circuits need a full rewire and which need a partial, using the held stock around Winchester Street.
“Most of my work is domestic: consumer units, full and partial rewires, lighting and EICRs on houses around Basingstoke. I test and certify everything I fit, and anything else I find while I am there gets priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill. The electrician who quotes your job is the one who does it.”

How much does a rewire cost in Overton?
A full domestic rewire starts at £4,800, covering new cabling, accessories and a new fuse board throughout the house. That figure is a starting price and is confirmed in writing after the house has been looked at.
- What moves the price is the size of the house, how many circuits and accessories you want, and whether the walls are solid or hollow.
- Anything else found while the house is open is priced separately in writing before it goes ahead.
Rewiring a house in Overton
- A full rewire replaces the cabling, sockets, switches, lights and fuse board throughout an Overton house, from £4,800.
- Every circuit, cable and accessory is replaced from the fuse board out, leaving the whole house on new wiring from £4,800.
- New circuits for the cooker, sockets and lighting in one room start at £1,600 when the rest of the wiring tests sound.
- An EICR from £200 records the condition of every circuit and tells you what a rewire would need to put right.
Older houses and solid walls in Overton
- Overton housing varies a great deal in age, so a rewire here is planned on what each property is built from.
- Homes around Winchester Street, London Road and Quidhampton differ in age and layout, so each rewire is priced on that house alone.
- Where walls are solid, new cables are planned into floor voids, ceilings and surface trunking rather than cut into the masonry.
- A house near Bridge Street may need the whole installation replaced while a later property nearby needs only its circuits brought up to date.
What happens when your Overton house is rewired
A rewire runs in three stages, from the first walk round to the certificate.
- 01
The walk round
The electrician goes through every room with you, confirms where sockets, switches and lights should sit, and marks out the cable runs.
- 02
The rewiring
Old circuits come out and new cable is run back to the fuse board, with the power off in whichever part of the house is being worked on.
- 03
Testing and paperwork
Every new circuit is tested, the readings are written up, and you are left with an Electrical Installation Certificate.

Rewiring questions from Overton customers
The questions Overton homeowners ask most often before a rewire.
How much does it cost to rewire a house in Overton?+
A full domestic rewire starts at £4,800. The final figure depends on the size of the house, the number of circuits and accessories, and how the walls are built. You get that figure in writing before the work is booked.
— James Dunn
Can you rewire a solid wall house without chasing the walls?+
Yes. In a solid wall property the new cables go through floor voids, ceilings and surface trunking instead of being cut into the masonry. Where each cable will run is set out with you room by room first.
— James Dunn
Should I get the wiring tested before buying an older house in Overton?+
Yes, on older village stock a test first is usually money well spent. An EICR from £200 records the condition of every circuit. That tells you whether you are looking at a full rewire from £4,800 or something smaller.
Do I need a full rewire or just the kitchen?+
If testing shows the rest of the wiring is sound, a kitchen rewire from £1,600 replaces the circuits in that room only. A full rewire from £4,800 is for a house where the wiring has come to the end of its life throughout.
What paperwork do I get after a rewire?+
You get an Electrical Installation Certificate for the new installation, with the test readings for every circuit. Each circuit is also named at the new fuse board so the house is easy to live with afterwards.
Will extra work be added to the bill?+
No. Anything else found while the house is open is priced on its own and put to you in writing. You say whether it goes ahead.
