BS 7671A heritage rewire isn't a normal rewire. The Midsomer Norton conservation area covers the Georgian and early-Victorian High Street frontages, where external runs and visible accessories are not an option, 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 Midsomer Norton, Welton, Westfield, Norton Hill, Paulton and Chilcompton. The conservation area runs along the High Street, where the River Somer is carried in an open channel between the road and the Georgian and early-Victorian frontages, with the Grade II* Listed church of St John the Baptist at the top. Note that BA3 spans two planning authorities: Midsomer Norton is Bath and North East Somerset, while Chilcompton, Chewton Mendip and Holcombe fall under Somerset Council.
Stock is Georgian and early-Victorian along the High Street and Welton, stone cottages through the older lanes, and period farmhouses in the surrounding parishes, alongside a large amount of later terraced and estate housing that is not heritage work. Where a property is Listed or sits in the conservation area we provide the Listed Building Consent supporting note as part of the survey.
Most Midsomer Norton 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 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.
