Part P
BS 7671A heritage rewire isn't a normal rewire. Castle Cary's ham-stone frontages and thatch sit inside a designated conservation area, so external runs and visible accessories are off the table, 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: BA7, covering Castle Cary and Ansford, plus Alford, Lovington and the villages toward Sparkford and Castle Cary. Castle Cary is a honey-coloured ham-stone market town with a designated conservation area, the Market House and the 18th-century Round House lock-up at its centre, and a mainline station on the Paddington route that has drawn a steady flow of London buyers into the surrounding parishes.
Stock runs from Georgian and Victorian ham-stone town houses through thatched and stone cottages to converted agricultural buildings in the outlying villages. A large share sits inside the conservation area or on the Listed register, so Listed Building Consent is commonly required. Castle Cary falls under Somerset Council (former South Somerset district), and we provide the supporting note as part of the survey.
Most Castle Cary heritage rewires take 8-14 working days on site for a 3-bed period house, 18-28 days for a 5-bed Listed property. We work alongside main contractors, architects and conservation officers, with phased programmes where the property stays occupied.

Final price depends on access, conservation-officer scope, existing wiring, fittings choice and time on site. Survey is free; written quote is fixed. Read the disclaimer below the cards before assuming.
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 Somerset Council (former South Somerset district) 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.
