Listed buildings and stone walls
Thousands of buildings in Bath are listed, and many more are in conservation areas. Rewiring a listed townhouse means planning cable routes through voids, under floors and behind joinery, and avoiding chasing into historic plaster where possible. Listed building consent may be needed for some work, so check with the council early.
Bath stone walls are thick and soft, and fixings and cable routes need care. Many flats are carved out of grand townhouses, with communal stairs, shared supplies and freeholders to consult. Electricians will want to see the consumer unit and meter position before pricing.

Pricing an electrical job in Bath
Two quotes for similar work in Bath can differ more than you might expect. It often comes down to things like these:
- Heritage constraints: consent requirements and careful cable routing add planning and labour.
- Thick stone walls: drilling and fixing in Bath stone takes more time.
- Parking and access: central Bath has limited parking and narrow streets.

Bath electrician FAQs
Do I need consent to rewire a listed house in Bath?
Routine like-for-like electrical work may not need consent, but work that affects the historic character or fabric – such as chasing walls or altering joinery – may. Speak to the council's conservation team before work starts.
What are lamp circuits?
Lamp circuits are switched sockets for table and floor lamps, often controlled from the door switch. They're popular in period rooms where ceiling lights don't suit the space. An electrician can add them during a rewire.
Do Bath electricians cover Corsham and Bradford-on-Avon?
Many work across Bath and north-east Somerset and into Wiltshire. Your postcode determines who receives your request.
Homes and wiring in South West England
The South West's cities are full of period terraces and Georgian and Regency townhouses, while Devon, Cornwall and Somerset have many stone cottages, barn conversions and holiday lets. Thick solid walls make chasing in new cables slower, and older rural properties can have wiring that has been extended piecemeal over the years. Holiday-let owners often need electrical safety checks between seasons.
Much domestic electrical work in England must meet Part P of the Building Regulations. Choose an electrician who can certify notifiable work through a competent person scheme, and keep the certificates with your property documents. How to choose an electrician.
