What we do
Specified for the Isle of Thanet: salt-driven corrosion on north-facing seafront installs, South Eastern Power Networks (part of UK Power Networks) connection requirements, Thanet District Council building control and local conservation-area rules.
Metal-enclosed 18th-edition boards with full RCBO coverage. Replacing plastic split-load boards on Cliftonville and Ramsgate seafront properties where salt has already pitted the metalwork.
See replacement pricingRubber and lead-sheathed pre-1970s wiring in Margate and Ramsgate Victorian terraces, mid-C20th cotton-braid TRS across the 1930s Westgate stock, and modern PVC top-ups. Chased, capped, plastered-ready.
Rewire scope and costStatutory 5-year landlord reports, pre-sale and pre-purchase surveys. Coded C1/C2/C3 per BS 7671:2018, remedial quote same visit. Fixed price by consumer-unit size, across CT7-CT12.
EICR pricing and turnaroundZappi, Ohme, PodPoint, Wallbox. OZEV grant admin for landlords and flat-owners. We tell the network operator where it is needed. Cable-route survey by photo first - most Thanet installs are a single-day fit.
Charger options and grantAll solar installs are MCS-certified. Solar only, solar and battery, battery only or plug-in solar, with plain price ranges, honest payback and the electrical side done properly.
How solar-battery worksLED downlight retrofits with fire-hood ceilings, garden and driveway lighting for Broadstairs and Kingsgate properties, and heritage-fitting rewires in listed Margate Old Town buildings. IP-rated for coastal exposure.
Lighting scopeOur promise
Every job priced up front from photos and a postcode. No day-rates that drift, no "we found something" surcharges. If the scope changes, we stop and requote before we continue.
EAL-qualified (Ofqual-regulated), including Level 3 Periodic Inspection, Testing and Certification. Certificates available on request.
Same crew from Birchington to Minster. Same standard. Same 07763 100 477. No hand-offs, no "we don't cover that postcode" - CT7 through CT12 is the beat.
Why district-scale
The Isle of Thanet is a compact chalk peninsula - twelve miles end to end, one district council, one network operator (South Eastern Power Networks (part of UK Power Networks)), one building control team. The electrical problems repeat across it: salt-driven corrosion on north-facing installs from Birchington to Ramsgate, undersized meter tails on the pre-1980 housing stock, cellar meter cupboards on Ramsgate and Broadstairs cliffs that flood in spring tides, plastic consumer units that have baked through summers of loft-mounted immersion timers.
Running one district-scale crew means we hold the same standard from CT7 Birchington through CT12 Minster. Same materials in the van, same network operator notifications. You get the crew that has done the last hundred jobs on the isle - not a stranger driving in from Canterbury or Sittingbourne.
Coastal-corrosion aware
North-facing Thanet seafronts - Cliftonville, Kingsgate, the Broadstairs North Foreland ridge and the Ramsgate West Cliff - get twenty years of chloride-laden onshore wind on their electrical intake. Meter tails oxidise. Busbars green. Wired-fuse boards from the 1970s and plastic split-load boards from the early 2000s show pitted metalwork and greening on the neutral bar long before an internal failure. An EICR catches it; a routine visual check on a five-year cycle catches it earlier.
Districts
Cliftonville regen sits on a mid-C20th housing stock with pre-1980 wiring loads. Broadstairs is 1930s semis and quiet post-war infill. Ramsgate is Regency terraces on the West Cliff and Georgian townhouses at the harbour. Birchington and Westgate are Edwardian villas and 1930s semis. Rural Minster is post-war bungalows on longer plots with agricultural-supply proximity. One electrical trade; six different jobs.
Old Town conservation area, Cliftonville regen, Palm Bay and Northdown estates. Mixed Victorian, Edwardian and post-war stock; plenty of first-time-buyer flat conversions that need EICR pre-purchase.
1930s semis in Stone Bay and St Peter's, Regency townhouses on the Old Town harbour, Kingsgate cliff-top mansions. The North Foreland ridge is exposed and salt-heavy.
Regency West Cliff terraces, Victorian harbour-edge stock, 1960s Newington and Nethercourt estates, marina-adjacent flat conversions. Listed-building consent work in the Royal Harbour zone.
Minnis Bay bungalows, Edwardian villas in the village core, and the newer Quex Park side estates. Rural-edge properties often have long incoming supplies and undersized meter tails.
Edwardian villas along St Mildred's Bay, 1930s semis inland, and a handful of listed seafront houses. Salt-heavy on the front line, softens rapidly two streets back.
Rural Thanet - post-war bungalows, agricultural conversions, longer cable runs from the road, and occasional three-phase supplies on farm-adjacent properties. Longer supplies can mean the network operator needs telling about EV charging.
Standards
Every fixed-wiring job on this site is built to BS 7671:2018 Amendment 2:2022 - the 18th edition of the Wiring Regulations. EICR reports are coded per the 2020 electrical safety standards regulations (the ones every private landlord in England has needed since 1 April 2021).
Grid connections - EV chargers, solar, battery storage - are notified to the network operator, South Eastern Power Networks (part of UK Power Networks). Larger systems need its approval before work starts. We handle every submission, so you never deal with the network operator.
Seasonality
Post-summer landlord EICR renewals cluster October to December - the private-rented sector deadline pushes fifths through in that window. Spring is EV charger season, when driveways are being redone and OZEV grant windows re-open. Solar and battery run year-round. Emergency fusebox and no-power call-outs anywhere in CT7-CT12 same day where we can.
