We were called to a detached house in Penenden Heath where the owner had recently had a survey done on the property and the surveyor had flagged the consumer unit as something to address. It was a rewirable MEM box that had been in place since the 1980s with no RCD protection and two of the fuse carriers showing signs of heat damage. We replaced it the same week, fitted a modern dual RCD consumer unit with clearly labelled circuits, and had the owner covered with a full NICEIC certificate before the end of the day.

Penenden Heath sits on the northern edge of Maidstone and the housing here is a mix of inter war semis and larger post war detached properties. A number of them still have their original consumer units and we see old pendant fittings and switches regularly on the older stock. Security is also a common request, the area is residential and quiet but homeowners still want proper camera coverage and lighting on their driveways and rear gardens.

A surveyor has flagged my consumer unit — how urgent is it?
If it is a rewirable unit with no RCD protection it is worth addressing promptly. Heat damage on fuse carriers is a more immediate concern. Call and describe what you have and I will give you an honest view.
Can you fit a new consumer unit in one day?
Yes, for most properties. We aim to have the power off for the minimum time necessary and have everything back on and certified before we leave.
Do you install CCTV on detached properties with side access?
Yes. Side access is one of the first things we think about when positioning cameras. We walk the property and plan coverage before specifying anything.
How quickly can you get to Penenden Heath?
Within the week. My PA will confirm the time.
Do I get a certificate for a new consumer unit?
Yes. All notifiable work is certified through our NICEIC registration.
If a survey has flagged something or you have been meaning to get the electrics looked at, call and I will give you a straight answer. No obligation.
