Here are answers to the most common questions we receive from Winchester homeowners and businesses about electrical services:
Most electricians in Winchester charge between £50 and £80 per hour for standard domestic work. However, at Orsidaen Electrical Services we prefer to quote fixed prices for specific jobs rather than hourly rates, so you know exactly what you'll pay before work begins. This avoids surprises and gives you complete cost certainty. Call 01962 809912 for a free, no-obligation quote.
A full house rewire in Winchester typically costs between £3,500 and £8,000 depending on the size and age of the property. A 2-bedroom flat might cost £3,500–£4,500, a 3-bedroom semi £4,500–£6,000, and a larger 4–5 bedroom detached house £6,000–£8,000. Period properties may cost more due to the care needed with lath-and-plaster walls. Read our guide to rewiring period properties.
Technically, you can change a like-for-like light switch yourself in England, as it is not notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. However, if you're adding a new switch, moving a switch, or installing a dimmer switch on a circuit without adequate protection, it's strongly recommended to use a qualified electrician. Any work in a bathroom or kitchen special location requires a qualified electrician by law.
It is not illegal to do minor electrical work yourself in England, such as replacing sockets or light fittings on a like-for-like basis. However, notifiable work — including new circuits, work in bathrooms/kitchens, and work in gardens — must be either carried out by a registered electrician (like an NICEIC Approved Contractor) or inspected by Building Control. Failure to comply can affect your home insurance and cause problems when selling your property.
The IET Wiring Regulations recommend an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) every 10 years for owner-occupied homes and every 5 years for rented properties (this is a legal requirement for landlords). If your home is over 25 years old and has never been inspected, we strongly recommend booking an EICR. Call 01962 809912 for EICR testing from £200.
An electrician is a qualified individual who carries out electrical work. An electrical contractor is a business that employs electricians and takes on electrical projects. Orsidaen Electrical Services is both — we are an NICEIC Approved Contractor, meaning our business and our electricians are independently assessed and approved to the highest industry standards.
