Morley's stone terraces were built for the mill workers and they are still standing because they were built well. The wiring inside them is another matter. The houses around Morley Bottoms, along Queen Street and up towards Dartmouth Park have often been rewired once in the 1960s or 70s and added to ever since, so an inspection finds a mix of ages behind sound plaster. Chasing into gritstone is real work and it is where a cheap rewire gets messy. We route cables carefully, use the floor voids where we can and make good properly.
We do full and partial rewires across Morley and Churwell. We test first and tell you honestly whether the whole house needs doing or just the older half, rather than quoting a full rewire by default. The work is staged so you keep power and light where you need it and most families stay put throughout. Across Leeds a full rewire of a three-bedroom house is typically £3,500 to £6,500 and a partial rewire from around £1,000. You get one fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Stone walls, done properly
Chased neatly, made good and dust kept to the room we are in, on walls that do not forgive a rushed job.
Full or partial
We test first and tell you which you actually need. Plenty of Morley houses only need the older circuits replacing.
Stay in your home
Work is staged room by room so power and light stay on where you need them.
Your questions, answered
How disruptive is a rewire in a stone terrace?
There is dust and there are floorboards up, but we do one area at a time and clean as we go. Most people are surprised how liveable it is.
How long does a Morley rewire take?
A typical three-bed terrace is a week to two weeks depending on access and whether it is full or partial. You get a day-by-day plan with your quote.
Can you do it before I move in?
Yes. It is the easiest time. An empty house rewires faster and cheaper because nothing has to be worked around.
Ready for electrics done properly?
