The electrical work Gillingham actually needs
The Victorian and Edwardian terraces running back from the High Street and around Brompton are the oldest installations in Medway, and a lot of them have been extended, converted or split into flats over the years — which usually means a mix of wiring vintages in one property and a board that was never upgraded to match. Twydall and Parkwood add post-war and council-built stock, much of it now privately rented and due an EICR. Rainham, Wigmore and Hempstead are newer and generally sounder, so there the work is additions and upgrades rather than remedials.
HMO and landlord EICRs, consumer unit upgrades and fault-finding on converted properties are what Gillingham calls us for most.
Electrical services in Gillingham
“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 Gillingham — your questions
Do you do HMO electrical testing in Gillingham?
Yes. Gillingham has a lot of shared and converted housing, and HMOs need both a satisfactory EICR and, in most cases, tested emergency lighting. We inspect and certify to BS 7671, code every finding clearly, and can carry out remedials so the property meets its licence conditions.
Which Gillingham areas do you cover?
ME7 and ME8 — Gillingham town, Brompton, Twydall, Parkwood, Grange, Darland, Wigmore, Hempstead and Rainham. We're about 20 minutes away in Sittingbourne, so the Medway towns are a regular run for us.
My flat conversion keeps tripping — can you find the fault?
Yes, and converted properties in Gillingham are exactly where this comes up. Split houses often end up with shared circuits, borrowed neutrals and mixed wiring vintages. We diagnose methodically with proper test equipment rather than just resetting the board, fix the cause, and re-test the circuit before we leave.
Are you NAPIT registered?
Yes. We're NAPIT registered competent persons, which means we self-certify our work to Building Control under Part P and our workmanship is backed by a 10-year NAPIT guarantee. Every installation is certified to BS 7671, the 18th Edition wiring regulations.
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.
