Old wiring is one of the most serious electrical safety risks in any home. We carry out full and partial rewires across the Medway Towns, replacing outdated cabling with modern circuits protected by a new consumer unit with RCD or RCBO protection. Whether your property still has rubber-sheathed cable, rewirable fuses, circuits without earth conductors, or wiring that’s been modified repeatedly over decades without any coherent plan, we bring the entire installation up to current BS 7671 standards. We work room by room to minimise disruption to your household, and every rewire includes comprehensive testing and an electrical installation certificate on completion.
Your consumer unit is the central safety device protecting every circuit in your home. If yours still uses rewirable fuses, lacks RCD protection, trips frequently without obvious cause, or has simply reached the age where components are no longer reliable, upgrading to a modern board makes a genuine difference to your home’s safety. We replace outdated consumer units across the Medway Towns with modern split-load or full RCBO boards. RCBO boards are the superior option — a fault on any single circuit trips only that circuit’s device, leaving everything else working normally. Every upgrade includes full circuit testing, earthing and bonding verification, and certification.
Charging at home is cheaper, more convenient, and faster than relying on public chargers across the Medway Towns. A dedicated 7kW home charger delivers a full overnight charge for most vehicles, and smart charging features let you schedule sessions around off-peak tariffs to minimise running costs. We install all major brands including Easee, Zappi, Ohme, and Pod Point, handling the complete process from electrical assessment and supply capacity check through to installation, earth rod fitting, testing, and commissioning. Every installation includes a dedicated circuit with its own protective device and full certification. Most complete within a single day.
The right lighting scheme transforms how every room looks, feels, and functions. We design and install lighting across the Medway Towns, from recessed downlights and layered kitchen schemes with task, ambient, and accent lighting to bathroom-rated fittings installed to IP zone regulations, outdoor security lighting with PIR sensors, and garden feature lighting that extends how you use your outdoor space after dark. We install on separate circuits with independent switching or dimming where requested, so you control which lights are on and at what level. From upgrading a single room to designing lighting throughout an entire property renovation.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a thorough inspection of your property’s entire electrical system — every circuit tested, every connection checked, and any faults identified and graded by severity. We carry out EICRs across the Medway Towns for homeowners wanting documented confirmation that their installation is safe, landlords meeting their legal five-year compliance obligations, and buyers assessing properties before purchase. Where faults are found, we explain what they mean in plain language and provide clear pricing for any remedial work needed. Every report is honest and thorough, giving you the information to make informed decisions about your electrics.
Electrical emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. When the power fails, a socket sparks, the consumer unit trips and won’t reset, or you smell burning from a fitting, you need an electrician who answers the phone and arrives quickly. We provide emergency electrical services across the Medway Towns, diagnosing faults accurately with professional test equipment and carrying out permanent repairs rather than temporary fixes that fail again within days. We confirm the call-out fee when you phone and agree the repair cost after diagnosis before proceeding — no surprise charges and no pressure to approve unnecessary work.
Extend your living space outdoors with professional garden electrical installations. We install weatherproof sockets for power tools, lawn mowers, and outdoor entertaining, garden lighting for paths, patios, and feature areas, and dedicated power supplies for sheds, workshops, summer houses, and garden offices across the Medway Towns. Security lighting with PIR sensors deters intruders and illuminates driveways, side passages, and dark areas around your property. All outdoor installations use IP-rated weatherproof fittings, armoured cable where runs cross open ground, and dedicated circuits with appropriate RCD protection. Built for year-round exposure to the Kent weather.
Costs vary depending on the type of work. A socket replacement typically costs £60 to £100. A consumer unit upgrade ranges from £350 to £850 depending on the board specification. A full rewire on a three bedroom house costs between £4,500 and £7,000. EV charger installations typically cost £650 to £1,300 including the charger unit. An EICR costs between £150 and £300 depending on the property size. We provide fixed prices for every job before work starts, so you know exactly what you’re paying. The most accurate way to get a price is to contact us with details of what you need.
Yes. We’re registered with a competent person scheme, which means our work is regularly assessed against industry standards and we can self-certify all notifiable electrical installations. This registration means you can trust that our work meets current BS 7671 wiring regulations. We carry comprehensive public liability insurance and provide full certification and documentation for every job. We’re happy to provide copies of our registration and insurance certificates before work starts.
Several signs indicate your wiring needs professional assessment. A consumer unit with rewirable fuses rather than MCBs. Round-pin sockets or original bakelite fittings anywhere in the property. Rubber or fabric-sheathed cable visible in the loft or behind sockets. Circuits without an earth conductor. Frequent tripping or blown fuses without obvious cause. Properties built before the 1970s that haven’t been rewired since original construction almost certainly need attention. The most reliable way to determine whether you need a full rewire, a partial rewire, or simply a consumer unit upgrade is an EICR that tests every circuit and identifies specific defects.
A typical three bedroom house takes five to eight working days for the electrical stages. This covers first fix — routing new cables through walls, floors, and ceilings — followed by a gap for plastering to make good the chased surfaces, then second fix — fitting faceplates, switches, light fittings, and connecting everything at the new consumer unit. You’ll have power available in the evenings throughout the rewire. We work room by room rather than stripping the whole house simultaneously, so most of the property remains functional during the work.
A comprehensive upgrade includes the new consumer unit itself, disconnection and removal of the old board, connection of all existing circuits to the new protective devices, verification and upgrade of earthing and bonding arrangements where needed, full testing of every circuit through the new board, and an electrical installation certificate. If testing reveals defects on existing circuits — deteriorated insulation, missing earths, or other faults — we explain what’s found and quote separately for remedial work. The board upgrade and any remedial work are priced transparently so you can see the cost of each element.
A standard installation typically takes three to four hours from arrival to a fully commissioned charger ready for use. This covers installing a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit, running the cable to the charger position, mounting and connecting the unit, fitting an earth rod where required, full testing, commissioning, and walking you through the app setup. If your consumer unit needs upgrading to accommodate the new circuit, add approximately two hours. Most homeowners across the Medway Towns are charging their vehicle the same evening.
Landlords are legally required to have an EICR carried out before new tenancies begin and at least every five years thereafter. For homeowners, an EICR is recommended every ten years or when purchasing a property, though there’s no legal requirement. If your property is older, if you’ve noticed any electrical symptoms like frequent tripping or warm faceplates, or if you simply want documented confirmation that your wiring is safe, an EICR gives you a clear, graded assessment of every circuit in the property.
