Loose is a valley village south of Maidstone with a distinct character — the old village along the stream has some of the most attractive older housing in the area, while the surrounding slopes have more modern semis and detached properties. We were called to one of the older cottages in Loose recently where the owner had bought it as their forever home and wanted to understand the electrical installation before making any changes. The wiring was a mix of two different eras, the consumer unit was a 1980s rewirable unit, and the garden electrics had been installed by a previous owner in a way that was not compliant. We replaced the consumer unit, brought the garden circuit up to standard, and gave the owner a clear picture of what else might need attention over time.
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 Loose and the surrounding area including Maidstone, Tovil, and Farleigh.
The valley setting in Loose means many of the properties have quite dramatic gardens — terraced slopes, water features, mature planting — and garden lighting here is often a more considered project than fitting a few path lights.

I want to understand my electrics before I start work on an older cottage — what should I do first?
An honest assessment is the best starting point. We trace what is there, identify any issues, and give you a clear picture of the installation before you commit to any work. No obligation to proceed.
Can you design garden lighting for a terraced garden?
Yes. Terraced gardens usually need to be treated as separate zones — the upper terrace, the steps, and the lower level all have different lighting requirements. We design around how you use the space.
My cottage has garden electrics installed by a previous owner — are they safe?
Possibly not. Informal outdoor wiring is one of the more common hazards we find. We assess it and tell you honestly what needs addressing.
How quickly can you get to Loose?
Within the week. My PA will confirm the time.
Do you cover Farleigh from Loose?
Yes Farleigh is within our area.
If you have an older property in Loose and want to understand what you have electrically, call and I will come and take a proper look. No pressure.
