What we do
Specified for the Little Stour valley: village cottages with post-war rewires still in service, oast-house conversions with hidden junctions in the roundels, farm outbuildings on 6mm sub-mains that never quite made it to modern standards, and unlisted commuter houses ready for solar and EV.
Metal-clad 17th/18th edition RCBO boards, surge protection where lightning matters (SPDs mandatory since Amdt 2 on new installs). Rewireable and plastic boards swapped out with full circuit test and certificate.
Consumer unit workCottage rewires done chase-and-plaster or first-floor-lift depending on the fabric. We do phased rewires room by room where you cannot move out, and we work the plaster damage to a minimum through capping and cable routing.
How we rewireFull periodic inspection and test against BS 7671:2018 Amdt 2. Rental EICR for landlords (mandatory every 5 years since 2020), pre-purchase EICR for buyers, and change-of-tenancy checks. Report by email within 48 hours.
Book an EICROZEV-approved 7kW chargers with CT-clamp load management for rural supplies. Ohme, Zappi, Wallbox and Hypervolt. We tell the network operator where needed.
EV chargersAll solar installs are MCS-certified. Solar only, solar and battery, battery only or plug-in solar, with plain price ranges and honest payback. Listed homes need council consent first.

Why village electrics is different
Wingham is a Little Stour valley village, mostly Grade II listed core around the church, with converted oast-houses on the edges and farm outbuildings that have become workshops and offices. The wiring reflects that: 1960s partial rewires with imperial VIR cable still lurking behind a modernised board, sub-mains to a barn that were never earthed properly, cottages where the main earth is a rusting spike in the corner of the boiler room.
We work with that. A village rewire in an unlisted 1950s semi is a straightforward two-day job. A rewire in a Grade II thatched cottage on the High Street is a three-week phased project with conservation officer consultation, lime-plaster reinstatement and cable routes agreed pre-start. Same trade. Very different jobs. We quote for the property you have, not the average one.
Live in a listed cottage?
Wingham has a listed core around the High Street and St Mary's Church. Dover District Council conservation officers care about surface conduit runs, socket adds on principal elevations, and any work that affects historic fabric. We advise on which parts of the electrical scope need listed building consent before you spend money, and we route cabling through voids and floor lifts to keep historic finishes intact.
Where we work
The Little Stour villages plus Ash to the west and Adisham to the south. If you are inside a 12-mile ring of Wingham High Street, you are in the standard call-out area with no travel charge.
The listed CT3 core. High Street cottages, converted oast-houses on the outskirts, unlisted commuter houses on the Canterbury Road edge.
Wingham pageLarger village to the west with the Cooper Street industrial edge. Farmhouse and smallholding work, plus rural EV chargers on long network feeds.
Ash pageSmall rural village south of Wingham with scattered farmsteads. Outbuilding SWA runs and workshop supply upgrades are the recurring jobs here.
Staple pageEstate village with the Fitzwalter estate at its centre. Grade II cottages, park lodges, tied-cottage rewires. Conservation officer route often needed.
Goodnestone pageLittle Stour riverside village with the mill and church-green core. Damp-cellar earthing quirks and buried sub-mains to converted barns are the local specifics.
Wickhambreaux pageLarger village on the A257 halfway to Canterbury. Commuter-village mix, more unlisted new-build extensions, more EV charger and solar work than the CT3 core.
