What we do
Specified for Broadstairs' Victorian villa cable-drops, salt-belt corrosion within the bays, and the 100A larger-property loads across Kingsgate and North Foreland.

See pricing & timingVictorian villa rewires around Viking Bay and Stone Bay. Lath-and-plaster cable-drops without ripping the room apart. Partial rewires in the kitchen or bathroom where a full-house pull is not warranted.
How rewires are plannedStatutory five-yearly inspections for private-rented properties and HMOs under the PRS regs. Owner-occupier tens. Clear satisfactory or unsatisfactory report with C1/C2/C3/FI coding and quotes to remedy anything found.
Landlord EICR guide7.4kW single-phase and 22kW three-phase home chargers. We tell the network operator, and deal with its approval where the supply needs uprating. OZEV grant applied where you qualify (flats, PRS).

Why local matters
Half the housing stock inside the CT10 core is Victorian and Edwardian seaside villa, on lath-and-plaster over solid brick. That constrains how a rewire is done: chase-and-fill is not always an option in a room with picture rails and original cornice, and a lot of the cable routes are up the external cavity or through original service channels in the flank wall. We plan accordingly, so a rewire does not become a redecoration.
Within about 200m of the sea wall, Viking Bay, Louisa Bay, Joss Bay, Botany Bay and Stone Bay, salt-laden mist pits copper terminals and rusts standard IP44 external gear inside a few years. Marine-grade IP65 or IP66 stainless fittings, brass rather than plated screw terminals in the CU, and an annual torque-check on the meter tails is the standard. Inland at Reading Street and St Peter's this drops off; up on the cliffs at North Foreland the wind exposure is high but the salt band is thinner.
Kingsgate and North Foreland larger properties often sit on a 100A single-phase supply that is already close to headroom once an EV charger and a heat-pump are on the same board. Load management modules and, where warranted, a three-phase upgrade via the network operator are a real part of what we do here. We do not just fit the box and hope.
Older-buyer new-build
Broadstairs has a growing older-buyer new-build market, Reading Street, the Kingsgate ridge, the North Foreland edge. Accessible lighting is not just brighter bulbs. PIR-triggered zones on the landing, hallway and en-suite, dawn-dusk on the drive and rear porch, warm-white 2700K LEDs on the living-space circuits, and switch heights that suit reduced mobility. We plan it once, wire it once, and the certificate covers you for building-control sign-off.
Neighbourhoods
Different housing stock, different challenges. The seafront Victorian villas around Viking Bay want a rewire that respects the original plaster. Kingsgate and North Foreland want load management before an EV charger goes on a stretched 100A supply. St Peter's and Reading Street have the newer stock and the older-buyer market. Same trade; the plan is different in each.
Viking Bay, Louisa Bay, Stone Bay, Joss Bay, Botany Bay. Victorian and Edwardian villas, sub-200m salt band. Marine-grade external fittings, brass terminations, careful cable-drops behind plaster.
Inland CT10. Mixed stock, Victorian terraces along St Peter's Road, HMO conversions with EICR loading, plus the newer Reading Street accessible-lifestyle bungalows.
Larger clifftop properties, 100A supplies and headroom questions once EV chargers and heat-pumps land. Network operator approval where a three-phase upgrade is the answer.
