What we do
Every job runs to BS 7671:2018 Amendment 2:2022 with a written test certificate. Priced fixed after a site visit, no upfront deposit, no day-rate creep. Victorian villas on Victoria Parade, seafront flats behind Viking Bay, larger Kingsgate and North Foreland homes, St Peter's semis and the new-build ring off Westwood.
18th edition dual-RCD or all-RCBO boards with a Type 2 SPD, main earth and bonding checked and upgraded where the old wire-fuse box or split-load unit no longer meets the regs. From £600 fitted.
Consumer unit upgradesVictorian villa rewires done with a plan for the lath-and-plaster and the solid brick chimney walls, so we lift as few boards and cut as few chases as the job allows. From £2,990 for a typical 3-bed.
How a rewire runsLandlord PRS five-yearly reports, buyer surveys and general condition checks. Coded C1, C2, C3 and FI the way the regs actually intend, with a quote to close out any C1 or C2 the same week. From £190.
EICR & landlord rules7kW OZEV-compliant chargers with load management where the property is on a shared main. We tell the network operator. £850 to £1,400 fitted. Larger Kingsgate homes may need the network operator's approval first.
EV chargers explainedSolar only, solar with a battery, or a battery on its own. Price ranges and payback in plain words, with 0% VAT until 31 March 2027. All solar installs are MCS-certified.
Solar & battery routesFire-rated downlights with the correct thermal cutouts for insulated lofts, PIR-triggered stair and hallway lighting for older-buyer accessibility, and outside lighting specified for seafront salt corrosion.
Lighting & LED workThe Broadstairs picture
Broadstairs is a Victorian resort town on Thanet chalk, and the housing stock reads that way. Solid-brick Victorian villas on Victoria Parade, Stone Road and the roads behind Viking Bay were wired for gas and later stitched together over three or four generations of amendment. Circuits are often a mix of rubber, TRS, PVC-in-conduit and modern twin-and-earth, joined in accessible attic boxes and inaccessible ones. That is not a rewire on sight, but it is a rewire on any circuit that fails an insulation-resistance test at 500V.
Salt drives a second layer of decisions. Anything within roughly 200m of Viking Bay, Louisa Bay, Stone Bay, Joss Bay or Botany Bay corrodes external metalwork faster than the manufacturer's default rating assumes. External sockets, EV chargers, garden lights and PV isolators want IP65 minimum, marine-grade stainless fixings and gland orientation that lets water run off, not sit. We fit accordingly.
Kingsgate and the North Foreland side of town sit on larger detached plots with 100A cutouts and headroom for EV plus heat pump plus induction. St Peter's runs to smaller 60A and 80A supplies where load management on a charger can decide whether the network operator needs to approve the install first. And Thanet DC's conservation areas across the seafront and around the Old Town add a planning route on anything visible from the street on a listed elevation.
