Not every electrical job is a big one. A lot of what we do in Maidstone is straightforward. Α light fitting that needs replacing, a kitchen appliance that needs a proper connection rather than a plug adaptor, a landlord who needs an EICR sorted before a new tenancy starts. We take those jobs just as seriously as a full kitchen rewire, because a light fitting wired badly is still a risk, and a landlord whose certificate is not in order still has a legal problem.
I'm George, I run Eru Electrics Ltd, and I'm a NICEIC-registered electrician with 25 years' experience. We work across Maidstone and the surrounding areas.
Maidstone has a large stock of terraced and semi-detached houses, and a significant rental sector to go with it. We carry out EICRs regularly for landlords and letting agents across the town. Ιt is one of the most common calls we get. Many of the privately owned houses we visit have old rewirable fuseboxes, pendant fittings that have not been touched since the property was built, and no security lighting to speak of. These are not dramatic problems, but they are worth addressing.
EICRs, fusebox upgrades, kitchen rewires, replacement lighting, additional sockets, CCTV and security lighting, garden electrics, summer house circuits.
The quote we give is the one you pay, we show up when agreed, and every call is answered by my PA during office hours. We leave the work area clean and tidy. Pricing from £90 to £2,000 excluding VAT. Over 200 reviews.
Do landlords in Maidstone need an EICR?
Yes. All private landlords in England have been legally required to hold a valid EICR since 2020. It must be renewed every five years and handed to tenants at the start of a tenancy. We carry these out across Maidstone and can usually turn the certificate around the same day.
Can you just replace a light fitting or does it have to be a bigger job?
Absolutely. Replacing a fitting is a perfectly normal call-out. We do plenty of smaller jobs across Maidstone and they get the same care as anything else. If we notice something else worth flagging while we are there, we will mention it honestly without pushing you into extra work.
How long does a kitchen rewire take?
It depends on the size of the kitchen and what appliances need dedicated circuits. Most kitchen rewires take one to two days. We keep you informed at every stage and leave the area clean before we go.
My property has an old fusebox, should I be worried?
If it is a rewirable Wylex or MEM unit, it has no RCD protection, which means it will not cut out fast enough in a fault situation. It is worth replacing, and many insurers now ask about it. We can usually fit a new consumer unit in a single day.
How quickly can you get to me?
Same day to two working days for most jobs in Maidstone. Call and my PA will find a time that works.
Do I get a certificate for the work?
Yes. All notifiable electrical work comes with an NICEIC certificate, which is useful for insurance, future sales, and for landlords, legal compliance.
Whether it is a single light fitting or a full rewire, call and I will give you a straight answer on what it involves and what it will cost. No obligation, no pressure.
