Full & Partial Rewires in Canterbury
A Canterbury rewire is rarely the standard job. Inside the city walls and along Wincheap you're often in listed or conservation-area property, where chasing walls may not be permitted and where damaging original plaster, lath or beams is a genuine risk rather than a theoretical one. That changes the method: routes get planned through floor voids and existing chases first, surface containment is used deliberately where it has to be, and the work gets phased so the property stays liveable. It takes longer than a standard rewire, and we'd rather tell you that up front than discover it at first fix.

“Called Gary at 4am he was at my house for 5am and stopped the leak from doing any further damage and arranged for the repair to be carried out by a plumber. Had him back a few weeks later to find the problem with a socket in my garage that kept tripping. He rewired it all for me and now it works perfect.”
“I phoned him on a Saturday morning. He said could he pop round later and give us a quote. He checked everything and said the job was quite straightforward. The price was very reasonable and Gary said he could fit them there and then. Gary is very knowledgeable, he explained everything and carried out the work cleanly and efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gary.”
“I had a problem with my lights, I had no lights in the house at all. Gary came over to the house and got all the electricity sorted for us in under an hour, so I have no problem recommending him and his company for any electrical issues. He was clean and tidy, good value, friendly and fast.”
“Gary has completed work for me a number of times, including fitting a new kitchen light, repairing a broken plug socket, fitting Hive, fitting alarm/security system and changing light switches to dimmer switches. He always completes work to a high standard.”
Rewires in Canterbury — common questions
Can you rewire a listed building in Canterbury?
Yes, and we do it regularly. The constraint is method, not capability: we route through floor voids and existing chases wherever possible and use discreet surface containment where chasing isn't appropriate. Where the work needs listed building consent we'll flag it at the quote stage so you can get consent in place before we start.
How disruptive is a rewire in an occupied Canterbury property?
Less than most people fear, if it's phased. We work room by room or floor by floor so you keep power and heating throughout, and first fix is timed to when floors and walls are most accessible. In period property we take extra care with making-good — the whole point of the careful routing is that you aren't left with a plastering bill bigger than the electrical one.
How do I know if I need a rewire?
Signs include a fuse board with rewireable fuses, black rubber or fabric-covered cabling, frequent tripping, or a property that hasn't been touched in 30+ years. An EICR will confirm it.
Can you rewire without ripping the house apart?
We work as neatly as possible and can often chase cables discreetly. A partial or phased rewire keeps disruption and cost down where a full rewire isn't essential.
