Bristol's Georgian and Victorian housing, concentrated in Clifton, Redland, Cotham, Bedminster and Southville, typically predates modern wiring regulations by well over a century, and has usually been rewired at least once already, often only in part.
Why a site visit matters
Given how many Bristol properties have a patchwork wiring history - a kitchen rewired in one decade, original circuits left elsewhere - an electrician genuinely can't give an accurate full-rewire quote without inspecting the property first.
What's actually included
A full rewire should include a new consumer unit, complete new cabling, socket and switch replacement, and an EICR at completion, from a NICEIC or NAPIT registered electrician. In Clifton's listed Georgian properties, extra care is often needed to protect original features while running new cabling.
