The electrical work Chatham actually needs
Chatham has some of the oldest surviving housing in Medway — the naval terraces around Brompton and the Victorian streets climbing out of the town centre, where a full rewire is often the honest answer rather than a patch. The 1950s–70s estates at Walderslade, Lordswood and Princes Park are the sweet spot for consumer unit upgrades: the wiring generally has life left in it, but the boards predate RCD protection entirely. Down at the waterfront, the newer apartment developments are modern and compliant, and mostly want additions — EV points in the parking areas, extra circuits and home-office supplies.
Consumer unit upgrades on the Walderslade and Lordswood estates, full rewires in older town-centre property, and landlord EICRs are our staple Chatham jobs.
Electrical services in Chatham
“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.”
Electrician in Chatham — your questions
Do you cover Walderslade and Lordswood?
Yes — Walderslade, Lordswood, Luton, Princes Park, Weedswood and Wayfield are all inside our normal Chatham patch, along with the town centre and Brompton. We're about 20 minutes away in Sittingbourne.
How do I know if my Chatham home needs a rewire?
The usual signs are a fuse board with rewireable fuses or no RCD, black rubber or fabric-covered cable, round-pin sockets, sockets mounted in the skirting, or frequent unexplained tripping. In practice, if the property hasn't been touched in 30 years or more it's worth an EICR — that will tell you definitively whether a rewire or just a board change is needed.
Can you upgrade the fuse board without rewiring the whole house?
Often, yes — and on the Walderslade and Lordswood estates that's usually exactly the right call. We test the existing circuits first: if they're sound, a modern board with RCBO protection brings the installation up to current standards for a fraction of the cost of a rewire. If testing shows the circuits themselves are failing, we'll tell you honestly rather than fit a new board onto bad wiring.
Do you work on commercial premises in Chatham?
Yes. Shops, offices, takeaways and small industrial units across ME4 and ME5 — fixed wire testing, distribution boards, emergency lighting, three-phase supplies and planned maintenance, scheduled around your trading hours where needed.
What areas do you cover?
We're based in Kent and cover the surrounding areas, including most of London. We regularly work in places like Maidstone, Canterbury, Ashford, Dartford, and South East London.
Can I get a quotation over the phone?
A rough quote may be possible over the phone, but we prefer to visit in person to provide an accurate price and to discuss your needs and expectations.
What methods of payment do you accept?
We prefer payment by bank transfer (BACs), but on-site we accept all major credit/debit cards and cash. We don't take payments over the phone.
Do you provide a warranty for your parts and work?
Yes — all supplied parts come with a 1-year warranty (plus any manufacturer warranties), and our workmanship is backed by a 10-year NAPIT guarantee.
What is an EICR?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a thorough inspection of your home's electrical system. A certified electrician will check the wiring, fuse board, and other electrical components to ensure safety and legal compliance. Any issues are categorised as C1 (danger), C2 (potential danger) or C3 (improvement recommended) — and a passing inspection results in an EICR certificate.
