Services
Consumer Unit Replacement
Upgrading your electrical system to a modern 18th edition consumer unit enhances safety and compliance. These metal units provide superior protection against electrical fires compared to older plastic models. Our qualified electricians ensure all circuits receive proper RCD protection as required by current regulations, giving homeowners peace of mind about their electrical safety.
Positive Input Ventilation
PIV systems effectively combat condensation and damp in residential properties. By continuously circulating filtered air throughout the home, they improve indoor air quality and prevent mould growth. This solution especially benefits allergy sufferers and those with respiratory conditions, providing a healthier living environment while protecting property from damp-related damage.
CCTV Installation
We install high-quality CCTV systems with colour imaging even in low-light conditions. Our security solutions allow remote monitoring via smartphone, offering real-time alerts and live footage access. Designed for both crime deterrence and evidential quality recording, our systems maintain security while respecting privacy regulations for residential properties.
Burglar Alarms
Our wireless burglar alarms provide comprehensive home protection with remote monitoring capabilities. The systems feature programmable zones, mobile alerts, and integrated control apps. Designed for minimal disruption during installation, these security solutions offer both visible deterrence and advanced intrusion detection with regular maintenance support available.
Full Rewires
Comprehensive rewiring services bring older properties up to modern safety standards. We assess existing systems for compliance, replacing outdated wiring and components to ensure safe, efficient electrical operation. This essential maintenance helps prevent electrical fires and supports modern power demands in homes where wiring has exceeded its 25-year service life.

Can't speak more highly of Dave. Really friendly and will explain it all if you ask. We asked Dave to come round and review the wiring in our house and recommend what remedial work needed doing and he gave a very honest summation of what needed doing and didn't try to talk me in to any expensive unnecessary re-work. On top of that, he was really reasonably priced for the amount of work he did. Really genuine guy, punctual, tidy, informative, reliable and honest. I would recommend to anybody.

Fantastic job,had dave in our house to re-wire two lights (one into bathroom and one into loft ) install all wiring and switches etc and to add sockets in the bedroom, we are renervating our house so i said that i would make good (ie fill in the groves that were cut for the wiring ) thinking that he could then just chisel the wall out like other electricians ive used,but dave used a cutter and dust collecter,and made such a neat and tidy cut that it was so easy to fill over,he takes huge pride in his work,and it shows in the fantastic job he did for us. I will definitely use him again and would

I found Medway Electrician via the Medway Council 'Recommended Trader Scheme'. We needed an prehistoric fuse box changing and the electrics throughly checked. Dave came to view the job and quoted to fit a new consumer unit and safety check all the wiring. The work was completed today, bang on the quote and we got a sense of humour thrown in free of charge! Great job Dave, we will deffinanly be recommending you to friends and family in the area!
