Very mixed ages, so no single approach… 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. ## 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. - House rewire (full domestic rewiring): from £4,800 - 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. ### A full rewire Every circuit, cable and accessory is replaced from the fuse board out, leaving the whole house on new wiring from £4,800. ### A kitchen rewire instead New circuits for the cooker, sockets and lighting in one room start at £1,600 when the rest of the wiring tests sound. ### A test before you commit An EICR from £200 records the condition of every circuit and tells you what a rewire would need to put right. ### A new fuse board on its own Replacing the consumer unit from £650 suits a house whose cabling passes testing but whose protection is out of date. ## 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. ### Very mixed ages across the village Homes around Winchester Street, London Road and Quidhampton differ in age and layout, so each rewire is priced on that house alone. ### Solid wall properties Where walls are solid, new cables are planned into floor voids, ceilings and surface trunking rather than cut into the masonry. ### No single approach fits A house near Bridge Street may need the whole installation replaced while a later property nearby needs only its circuits brought up to date. ### Older stock before a purchase On an older Overton house, testing the wiring before you buy is usually money well spent, because it shows whether £4,800 of work is coming. ## What happens when your Overton house is rewired A rewire runs in three stages, from the first walk round to the certificate. ### 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. ### 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. ### Testing and paperwork Every new circuit is tested, the readings are written up, and you are left with an Electrical Installation Certificate. ## Why Overton homeowners choose JD Electricals for a rewire You get the price in writing before any cable is lifted, and every new circuit is tested and certified on completion. JD Electricals works on homes for homeowners and landlords, so domestic rewires are the everyday work rather than a sideline. ## Recent rewiring work These rewires and fuse board replacements come from homes across Basingstoke and the surrounding Hampshire towns. ## 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. ### 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. ### 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. ## Areas covered around Overton Rewiring covers Overton village, including homes around Winchester Street and Quidhampton, along with the Hampshire towns nearby. ## Other electrical work on Overton homes Alongside full rewires, JD Electricals replaces fuse boards from £650, rewires kitchens from £1,600 and carries out EICRs from £200. - [Electrician in Overton](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/electrician-overton): Electrician in Overton for EICRs, faults, consumer units and rewiring, with previous alterations, access and cable routes considered first. - [House rewiring (all areas)](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/services/house-rewiring): House rewiring from JD Electricals in Basingstoke.
