This weekend our qualified electricians carried out a full kitchen rewire in Tenterden, Kent. We installed a grid switch arrangement for appliances, down-lights, and under-counter lights. At the same time we added outside lighting to finish the project off, before certifying and making building regulations notifications!

Our electricians today completed a garage rewire and a consumer unit upgrade in Maidstone Kent. The garage had a completely wooden fuse box with ceramic rewire-able fuses and mineral insulated cabling. We re-supplied a new 18th edition consumer unit in the garage with a SWA submain from the house, installed new metal-clad sockets & light switches in conduit and installed LED energy efficient lighting. The house received a new split load 18th edition consumer unit ensuring all circuits have RCD protection. The full project has been inspected & tested also notified to building control.

Our electricians replaced this old wooden consumer unit with rewirable fuses ready for a kitchen refurbishment in Maidstone, Kent.

The fusebox on the right was dangerously wired directly into the main switch with a hugely underrated cable and no circuit breaker!

The new consumer unit covers the whole installation with RCD’s, surge & lighting protection as per 18th edition requirements.

We were initially called out to wire in a new kitchen following refurbishment. Upon commission of the new circuits we found that the installation was dangerous and in need of a full rewire. This was due to a cable condition known as ‘Cable Cancer’ which is a breakdown of the insulation and results in ‘Green Goo’ a fairy liquid type substance leaking out of the cables where the copper reacts agains the PVC. This affects cables manufactured between 1965 – 1971. As a result the whole property was re-wired due to poor earth readings. We replaced all cabling, accessories and installed a new MK 21-way consumer unit with lightning & surge protection.
