Fast-Track Structural Rewires for Property Purchases, Void Rentals & Refurbishments. Just picked up the keys to a project home, or managing a void rental period across Bristol or South Gloucestershire? Rewiring a vacant property is faster, cleaner, and significantly more cost-effective. Led by Army Veteran Anton Burridge, we deliver 100% compliant, 18th Edition rewires before your furniture or tenants arrive.
Verified Trade Credentials: Anton Burridge is fully vetted and registered on the UK NAPIT Official Inspector Register, listed on the government-backed Electrical Competent Persons Register, and adheres strictly to safety standards published by Electrical Safety First.
Attempting to rewire an occupied house means living in an active construction zone, dealing with daily plaster dust, shifting heavy furniture between rooms, and setting up temporary power leads every evening. When a residential property across Bristol or South Gloucestershire is vacant—whether during a purchase conveyancing gap, a landlord void period, or a major developer refurbishment—our specialist team works at maximum speed without obstruction.
We tailor our full and partial house rewiring solutions to match the exact structural realities of Bristol’s diverse housing stock—from Victorian stone terraces in Hanham and Kingswood to mid-century properties in Warmley, Staple Hill, and Bedminster.
The single best opportunity to rewire a home is immediately after receiving the keys from completion, before new carpets, fitted furniture, or family belongings arrive. We strip out hazardous, obsolete wiring and install high-capacity 32A ring circuits, double USB outlets, and media feeds cleanly before your decoration starts.
Landlords must protect their property investments and comply strictly with legal renting standards. If a recent pre-tenancy EICR inspection flagged severe C1/C2 defects, degraded PVC cabling, or missing RCD protection, we execute fast-turnaround void rewires to ensure your property achieves full legal compliance with minimal rental downtime.
Partnering with local builders, plasterers, and kitchen fitters across Bristol and South Glos. We sync our first-fix chasing and second-fix plate terminations perfectly with your trade schedule, delivering guaranteed Part P Building Regulations sign-off.
Rewiring properties across East Bristol and South Gloucestershire requires far more than basic cable pulling. Older local construction methods present unique technical challenges that require experienced, certified hands:
Transparency is fundamental to how we operate. While final pricing depends on property size, wall composition, and total circuit count, rewiring a vacant property eliminates up to 30% of standard labor overheads. Typical vacant 2-bedroom properties start from £4,200 + VAT, 3-bedroom houses average £5,500 to £7,500 + VAT, while larger stone period properties range from £8,000 to £11,500+ VAT.
With zero furniture obstacles, we lift floorboards, pull heavy SWA mains feeds, cut wall chases, set flush backboxes, and run new 32A socket rings, lighting radials, cooker feeds, and data lines.
Timeline: Days 1 to 3
Once plastering is dry, we install faceplates, double USB sockets, dimmers, LED spotlights, interlinked Grade D1 smoke alarms, and terminate a brand-new metal 18th Edition RCBO consumer unit with SPD.
Timeline: Days 3 to 4
Full dead and live circuit testing (continuity, insulation resistance, RCD trip speeds). We issue your formal Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and handle Building Control notification automatically.
Guarantee: 6-Year NAPIT Backed

Specialising in empty residential properties across Bristol and South Gloucestershire.
A local property investor acquired a dated 3-bedroom Victorian stone terrace near Broad Street and Soundwell Road in Central Bristol between tenancies. An EICR inspection flagged dangerous rubber-insulated (VIR) cables, non-compliant wooden fuse boxes, and missing gas/water protective earthing bonding. With a strict 10-day window before incoming tenants signed lease agreements, the entire electrical installation required an immediate overhaul.
Because the property was completely vacant, our team eliminated setup delays. We installed a metal-clad 18th Edition RCBO consumer unit with Surge Protection (SPD), completed full Stage 1 wall chasing and Stage 2 accessory terminations, installed interlinked Grade D1 smoke safety alarms, and delivered full Part P certification 2 days ahead of schedule.
Pricing depends on property size and structural layout. A standard 2-bedroom vacant house ranges from £4,200 to £5,800 + VAT. A 3-bedroom semi-detached vacant property typically ranges from £5,500 to £7,500 + VAT, while larger period stone properties in Bristol or South Glos can exceed £9,500 + VAT. Because the property is empty, we work faster with zero furniture delays.
When a house is empty, our team can work continuously across all rooms simultaneously. There is no need to move heavy furniture, lay miles of carpet protection sheeting every morning, or hook up temporary evening power leads. It cuts down completion times significantly and eliminates household stress.
For a standard vacant property, our specialist teams complete the full first-fix, second-fix, testing, and commissioning sequence in approximately 3 to 5 working days.
While there is no blanket law requiring a rewire purely due to age, landlords must legally hold a valid, Satisfactory Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) under private rented sector rules. If an EICR flags C1 ('Danger Present') or C2 ('Potentially Dangerous') codes due to degraded wiring or lack of earthing, remedial repairs or a full rewire become legally mandatory before letting the home.
Code C1 indicates 'Danger Present' (immediate shock or fire risk requiring instant isolation); C2 means 'Potentially Dangerous' (urgent remedial action required); C3 means 'Improvement Recommended' (non-compliant with current 18th Edition rules but not inherently dangerous); and FI means 'Further Investigation Required'. Any C1 or C2 code results in an automatic 'Unsatisfactory' overall outcome.
You receive an official BS 7671 Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) detailing all live circuit test results. Because Burridge Electrical is NAPIT registered, we automatically notify Local Authority Building Control under Part P, and you receive an official Building Regulations Compliance Certificate directly for conveyancing records.

Many electricians in Bristol are simply not interested in the small jobs.They want the choice jobs and will drop you when a bigger,supposedly more lucrative project comes in.
Others advertise as electricians having no qualifications.They thrive on the basis that you don't understand what they do and as a result charging for shoddy,and often dangerous electrical work.
I set up Burridge Electrical to provide you with a quality service and provide you with exactly what you need from a qualified electrician.
