Full & Partial Rewires in Chatham
Chatham has some of the oldest housing we work on, and the naval terraces around Brompton and the Victorian streets above the town centre are where full rewires genuinely are the right answer rather than an upsell. What we look for is failing insulation resistance across multiple circuits — that's the point where fitting a new board onto the existing cable is throwing money away. Equally, we turn down plenty of rewire enquiries on the Walderslade, Lordswood and Princes Park estates, because there the circuits usually test fine and a board change does the job properly for far less.

“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 Chatham — common questions
How much of my Chatham house actually needs rewiring?
Often less than you'd expect, and testing is what tells you. It's common to find the upstairs lighting and downstairs ring are sound while the kitchen and an old immersion circuit are failing — in which case a partial rewire plus a new board is the right call. We test circuit by circuit and quote for what genuinely needs doing.
Do you rewire while the house is occupied in Chatham?
Yes, and most of our Chatham rewires are done that way. We phase the work so you keep power and heating, take the board change as a single planned day, and let you know the timings in advance. Older terraces need more care with making-good, so we agree beforehand exactly what we're plastering and what you're taking on.
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.
