BS 7671A heritage rewire isn't a normal rewire. The heritage work around Radstock is less about the town terraces and more about the older stone property surrounding them, where solid walls and original fabric rule out chasing, you can't drill through original cornice, and you can't bury cables under modern plasterboard tricks. Every cable route is planned through joist voids, behind original skirting, under floorboards or around chimney breasts. Lath-and-plaster walls get fished from above and below, never broken open. No surface trunking, ever. Brass plate accessories (Click Scolmore Definity / Forbes & Lomax / Hamilton, specifier-led) replace plastic. Dimming circuits installed throughout to match period lighting design. Full Listed Building Consent supporting documentation provided as standard.

Postcode coverage: BA3, covering Radstock, Westfield, Clandown, Writhlington, Haydon and Kilmersdon. Worth knowing before you apply for anything: BA3 straddles two planning authorities. Radstock, Westfield, Midsomer Norton and Peasedown St John fall under Bath and North East Somerset, while Kilmersdon, Chewton Mendip and Holcombe come under Somerset Council. Which side of that line your property sits on decides who handles Listed Building Consent, and we confirm it at survey rather than guessing.
The period stock here is Georgian and earlier stone farmhouses, the Listed cottages around Kilmersdon and Writhlington, and the larger houses out toward Chewton Mendip and Ston Easton. Much of it has never been properly rewired, only added to. Where a property is Listed or in a conservation area we provide the supporting note as part of the survey.
Most Radstock-area heritage rewires take 8-14 working days on site for a 3-bed period cottage, 18-28 days for a 5-bed Listed farmhouse. We work alongside main contractors, architects and conservation officers, with phased programmes where the property stays occupied.

We quote every heritage rewire on its own merits. The price depends on the building's age and Listed status, access, the existing wiring, conservation-officer scope, the fittings you choose and the time on site. After a survey, you get a fixed price in writing.
For Grade I, Grade II* and most Grade II Listed properties, yes for any full rewire. We help draft the supporting note describing cable routes, fixings, accessory style and reinstatement. The Bath and North East Somerset Council conservation team usually signs off straightforward heritage rewires within a few weeks; complex jobs may need a heritage statement.
We fish cables down through the void between lath and stud using rods, draw cords and access via floorboards above or skirting below. New back-boxes are cut neatly with a multitool, never with a chase grinder. Where a route is impossible without damage, we route via the floor void in the room above and drop in. Surface trunking is never used on heritage work.
Specifier-led, we'll fit whatever the architect or interior designer has chosen. Click Scolmore Definity (antique brass / aged brass screwless) is our value default. Forbes & Lomax (Invisible Lightswitch, Nickel Silver, Antique Bronze) is our specifier-grade default. Hamilton Hartland CFX, Hartland G2 and Sheer ranges are also regular fits. We hold trade accounts with all three.
3-bed Victorian terrace: 8-14 working days on site. 4-bed period home: 14-22 working days. 5-bed Listed Georgian: 18-28 working days plus snagging. Phased works available where the property stays occupied. We always agree the programme in writing before first-fix.
