Southbourne is one of Bournemouth’s most desirable residential areas, running along the clifftops from Fisherman’s Walk to Hengistbury Head. The area is characterised by wide, tree-lined avenues of Edwardian villas, a thriving high street along Southbourne Grove, and direct access to some of the best beaches on the south coast.
Southbourne’s housing stock is predominantly Edwardian, with many of the larger villas converted into flats during the mid to late twentieth century. These conversions often involved adding separate electrical supplies, consumer units, and metering for each flat, sometimes without a coherent overall plan. The result can be complex, with shared risers, multiple consumer units in cupboards, and wiring of varying ages throughout the building.
For whole-house rewires of unconverted properties, prices start from £5,500 for a 3-bed home. Larger Edwardian villas with four or five bedrooms are priced individually after a full survey. We route cables to minimise disruption to period features including cornicing, picture rails, and original fireplaces.
For individual flat rewires, the scope is more contained and the price reflects this. We work with managing agents and freeholders where access to communal areas or shared supplies is required, and we handle all necessary certification and notification.
Southbourne has a significant rental sector, particularly in the converted flat stock. Landlords are legally required to hold a valid EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) for every tenanted property. EICRs start from £120 and we can usually schedule within a few days. We provide clear, detailed reports and are happy to discuss any findings directly with tenants or agents.
For older properties where a full rewire is not yet necessary, a consumer unit upgrade from £450 is the most impactful safety improvement. A modern 18th Edition unit adds RCD protection to every circuit and is typically completed in half a day.
Properties along Southbourne’s clifftop are exposed to salt air, which accelerates corrosion on external fittings. For outdoor sockets, lighting, CCTV, and EV chargers, we use marine-grade fittings and IP-rated enclosures as standard.
EV charger installation starts from £750 where off-street parking is available. We fit all major brands and provide a dedicated circuit with full NICEIC certification.
