Ightham is a village with some of the most attractive older housing in the Sevenoaks district — timber framed cottages, oast houses, and period farmhouses alongside more modest older terraces. The properties that call us most frequently in Ightham are the older ones where the electrical installation has never been comprehensively reviewed. We rewired a 17th century cottage in Ightham recently that had been extended and modified over centuries — the wiring was a mixture of at least three different eras, none of it documented. We worked carefully through the property, avoided the original fabric where possible, and produced a clean modern installation with the minimum of intrusion to the historic structure. The owner received a full certificate and a clear schedule of what had been done.
I am George, I run Eru Electrics Ltd, and I am a NICEIC registered electrician with 25 years of experience and a Which? Trusted Trader. We cover Ightham and the surrounding area including Borough Green, Seal, and Wrotham.
Security is also a common theme in Ightham — older properties set back from the road with outbuildings and gardens that benefit from proper camera coverage and lighting.

Can you rewire an older property without causing major damage to the fabric?
Yes, and we take this seriously on period properties. We plan cable routes carefully to minimise penetrations through historic fabric, use the loft space where possible, and discuss every route with the owner before we start.
My property has wiring from multiple different eras — is that a problem?
It is a common situation in older properties. The risk is in the protection — if circuits from different eras are mixed without correct protection, there are safety gaps. We map everything and address the protection first.
How quickly can you get to Ightham?
Within the week. My PA will confirm the time.
Do you cover Borough Green and Seal from Ightham?
Yes both are within our area.
Do I get certification for a rewire of a listed or period property?
Yes. All notifiable work is certified through our NICEIC registration regardless of the property type.
