Rewiring in Bromley
A full or partial rewire replaces some or all of a property's electrical wiring, sockets, switches and consumer unit with a new installation to current standards, typically needed where existing wiring is old, unsafe or insufficient for modern electrical demand.
In Bromley, that covers Beckenham, Orpington, West Wickham, Chislehurst, Petts Wood, Hayes, Bickley. Bromley is one of the greenest London boroughs, with a historic High Street and residential areas ranging from Beckenham and Orpington's Victorian and interwar housing to the more rural character around Chislehurst and Hayes, close to the Kent border and within easy reach of our Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells teams.
Coverage
Areas we cover in Bromley for rewiring
Property styles in Bromley
Bromley's housing stock includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas near the town centre and in Beckenham, substantial interwar detached and semi-detached houses across Orpington, Petts Wood and Bickley, and larger period properties around Chislehurst and Hayes, many on generous plots suited to rear and double-storey extensions.
Planning considerations
Bromley Council (London Borough of Bromley) is the local planning authority. Chislehurst and parts of Beckenham and Hayes are conservation areas, and much of the borough's southern and eastern edge is designated Metropolitan Green Belt, which restricts new buildings and substantial additions beyond normal permitted development limits.

FAQs
Rewiring in Bromley: FAQs
Do you provide rewiring across all of Bromley?
Yes, we cover the BR1, BR2, BR3, BR4, BR5, BR6 and BR7 postcode areas in full, including Beckenham, Orpington, West Wickham, Chislehurst, Petts Wood, Hayes, Bickley.
How do I know if I need a full or partial rewire?
This is based on an EICR and the age and condition of the existing wiring, not assumed from the property's age alone. We assess the installation and recommend the appropriate scope.
Will a rewire mean redecorating afterwards?
Typically, yes — chasing cable routes into walls disturbs plaster and decoration, so some making good and redecoration is usually needed afterwards. We set out what to expect before work starts.
Do you work across all of the Bromley postcode areas?
Yes, we cover BR1 to BR7, including Bromley town centre, Beckenham, Orpington, West Wickham, Chislehurst, Petts Wood and Hayes.
