Sittingbourne is our home town. Gary and the team are based just off Dyngley Close, so it's where we do most of our domestic work and where we can usually get to you the quickest. From the older terraces around the town centre to the newer estates out toward Kemsley and Milton Regis, we cover the lot as your local electrician in Sittingbourne.
As NAPIT registered electrical contractors in Sittingbourne, we cover the full range of electrical services here: consumer unit upgrades, rewires, fault-finding, extra circuits and EICRs. A lot of the town's Victorian and mid-century housing is still on older wiring and rubber-sheathed cable, so safety testing and board upgrades make up a big share of what we do locally. Armoured cable installation in Sittingbourne is a regular part of our week too, because so many homes here want power somewhere the original house wiring was never meant to reach. SWA (steel wire armoured) cable is the proper way to take a supply outdoors or underground to a garage, shed, workshop, summer house, garden office, pond pump, hot tub or an EV charge point on a detached drive. It suits anyone who has been making do with an extension lead across the lawn, and anyone putting up a new building at the bottom of the garden that needs its own lights, sockets and small consumer unit. What to expect: we work out the load and the length of the run, size the cable and protective device to match, then either dig and lay at a sensible depth with marker tape above the cable, or clip it along a wall or fence line where a trench is not practical. The cable is glanded properly at both ends, earthing and bonding arranged to suit your supply type, and the new circuit tested and certified to BS 7671 before we hand it over. Most single-outbuilding jobs are finished in a day, and we'll agree before we start whether the digging is ours or yours.

The electrical work Sittingbourne actually needs
Sittingbourne's housing splits three ways, and each throws up different work. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Milton Regis and the town centre are where we find the oldest installations — rewireable fuse boards, no RCD protection, and occasionally rubber or fabric-sheathed cable that has gone brittle. The post-war and 1960s–70s semis out toward Borden and Tunstall usually have serviceable wiring but boards that predate the 18th Edition. And the newer estates at Kemsley, Iwade and the developments off Quinton Road mostly want additions rather than repairs: EV charge points, garden power, extra sockets and outside lighting.
Landlord EICRs, fuse board changes and fault-finding are our three most common Sittingbourne call-outs, closely followed by EV charger installs on the newer estates.
Electrical services in Sittingbourne
“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 Sittingbourne — your questions
Who is the best electrician in Sittingbourne?
We'd back our own work: William's Electrical is a NAPIT registered, Sittingbourne-based team with a 10-year workmanship warranty and strong Checkatrade and MyBuilder reviews. Being based in the town, we're usually the quickest to reach you, and every job is certified to BS 7671.
Do you provide electrical services and contracting in Sittingbourne?
Yes. We're full-service electrical contractors covering Sittingbourne for domestic, commercial and industrial work, from a single socket or fault call-out through to full rewires, three-phase supplies and planned maintenance for local businesses and landlords.
Can you carry out an EICR in Sittingbourne?
Yes. EICRs are one of our most-requested jobs in Sittingbourne, especially on the town's older housing and rental properties. We inspect, code and certify to BS 7671, and where the report flags minor remedials we can often fix them on the same visit and issue a satisfactory certificate.
Can you run an armoured cable out to my garage or garden office?
Yes, that's one of the most common outdoor jobs we do around the town. We run SWA cable underground in a trench or clipped along a wall or fence, feed a small consumer unit in the outbuilding, and wire up the lights and sockets you need. The new circuit is tested and certified to BS 7671 once it's finished.
How deep does armoured cable have to be buried?
For a normal garden run we'd usually be looking at roughly 450mm to 600mm down, depending on what sits above it, with marker tape laid over the cable so anyone digging later finds that first. Under a drive it goes deeper or into a duct. Where a trench isn't sensible we can surface-clip the cable instead, which is perfectly acceptable for armoured cable.
How quickly can you get to me in Sittingbourne?
We're based in the town, off Dyngley Close in ME10, so Sittingbourne is the fastest area we cover — typically within about 15 minutes. For urgent faults like a dead circuit or a board that won't reset we'll do our best to attend the same day. Call 07825 333341 and we'll tell you honestly what we can do.
Which Sittingbourne postcodes do you cover?
All of ME9 and ME10, including Milton Regis, Kemsley, Murston, Borden, Bapchild, Bobbing, Tunstall, Iwade, Newington and Teynham. We also cover Sheerness and the Isle of Sheppey just north of the town.
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.
