Your home’s electrical system is crucial for safety, comfort, and daily living. Our experienced electricians provide comprehensive domestic electrical services across Gillingham, Rainham, Chatham, and throughout the ME postcode area. From routine repairs and installations to complete rewires and safety inspections, we deliver professional, reliable electrical work that keeps your home safe and fully functional.
Whether you’re dealing with an electrical emergency, planning a home renovation, or simply need additional sockets installed, our team has the expertise to help. We work on properties of all types and ages across Gillingham, from period homes requiring sympathetic upgrades to modern houses needing the latest smart home technology.
Outdated wiring poses serious safety risks including fire hazards and electric shocks. Our complete rewiring service brings your Gillingham home up to current safety standards while providing adequate capacity for modern electrical demands. We rewire properties of all sizes, working room by room to minimize disruption. Our service includes removing all old wiring, installing new cabling throughout the property, upgrading to a modern RCD-protected consumer unit, fitting new sockets and switches, and providing complete testing and certification. Most homes can remain occupied during rewiring, and we coordinate with plasterers and decorators for seamless finishes. Properties over 30 years old with original wiring typically need rewiring, as do homes with fabric or rubber-insulated cables.
Regular electrical safety inspections protect your family and property from electrical hazards. Our comprehensive EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) inspections examine every aspect of your electrical installation. We test all circuits, verify earthing and bonding systems, check consumer units and protective devices, inspect visible wiring for damage, and identify any non-compliances with current regulations. Our detailed reports grade issues from C1 (dangerous, immediate action required) through C2 (potentially dangerous) to C3 (improvement recommended). Homeowners should have inspections every 10 years, when buying or selling property, or after electrical problems. We provide same-day reports with clear explanations, photographs, and realistic quotes for any remedial work needed.
Modern consumer units (fuse boxes) provide essential protection that older systems lack. We upgrade outdated fuse boxes across Gillingham to modern consumer units featuring RCD protection on all circuits, individual MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers) for easy fault isolation, adequate capacity for modern electrical loads, and clear circuit labeling. Old rewirable fuse boxes and early consumer units without RCD protection should be upgraded immediately. RCDs detect electrical faults and disconnect power in milliseconds, preventing electric shocks and reducing fire risks. Our upgrades include testing your complete electrical system, installing the new consumer unit, labeling all circuits clearly, and providing certification and building control notification. Most upgrades complete in one day.
Need additional sockets or new lighting in your Gillingham home? We install sockets, switches, and lights throughout properties, working to your exact requirements. Additional sockets eliminate the need for dangerous extension leads and adapters. We install single and double sockets, USB charging sockets, outdoor weatherproof sockets, and dedicated circuits for appliances. Our lighting installation covers ceiling lights, downlights, LED lighting, outdoor security lights, and garden lighting. We can also install dimmer switches, smart switches, and motion-activated lighting. All installations are completed to current wiring regulations with proper circuits, cable sizing, and protection. We minimize disruption by running cables efficiently and making good all surface damage professionally.
