Most of what we write here comes straight from jobs we have just finished: the questions customers kept asking during a rewire, the EICR queries a landlord raised the week before their tenancy started, or the unexpected thing we found behind a 1970s consumer unit in a Norwich semi. We do not publish on a schedule for the sake of it. We publish when we have learned something that is worth passing on to homeowners, landlords and builders across Norwich, Wymondham and the wider South Norfolk area.
Real costs for Norfolk homes, broken down by property size. What a typical rewire actually includes, what it doesn't, and how much a kitchen partial rewire runs compared to a full one. No "up to" numbers, no hidden asterisks.
