Detling sits along the North Downs and most of the properties we visit here are set well back from the road, cottages and farmhouses with long approaches, outbuildings, and grounds that need proper lighting to be of any use after dark. We fitted a new consumer unit to one such property recently, a farmhouse that had been updated piecemeal over the decades with no single person ever taking stock of the whole installation. Once we had a proper consumer unit in place we also repositioned and upgraded the security lighting so it actually covered the driveway and garage rather than just the front porch.
I'm George, I run Eru Electrics Ltd, and I'm a NICEIC-registered electrician with 25 years' experience. I'm also a Which? Trusted Trader. We cover Detling and the surrounding area including Hollingbourne, Bearsted, Langley, and further into Medway and Maidstone.
Properties out this way tend to share the same history. Older wiring that has been added to rather than properly updated, rewirable fuseboxes that have never been replaced, and security arrangements that amount to a single light by the back door. For a property with a large plot, that is not much of a deterrent and not much use practically either.
Quotes are honoured, we arrive when agreed, we clean up after ourselves, and every call is answered by my PA.

Pricing from £90 to £2,000 excluding VAT.
My property has been extended over the years. Should the electrics be assessed?
That is one of the most common situations we see in this area. Additions made at different times often mean mixed standards, undersized circuits, and protection gaps.
A proper look at the installation will tell you where you stand.
How do you approach security lighting on a large plot?
We start by walking the site and identifying the areas that genuinely need coverage. Approaches, outbuildings, blind spots. Placement matters far more than the number of lights.
How quickly can you get to Detling?
Usually within a week. Call and my PA will confirm a time.
Do I get certification for a new consumer unit?
Yes. Full NICEIC certification on completion of all notifiable work.
What does Which?
Trusted Trader mean in practice? It means the business has been independently assessed. Not just the technical work but how we operate. It is a third-party check, not a self-awarded badge.
