Services
Consumer Unit Replacement
Upgrading outdated fuse boxes to modern 18th edition consumer units enhances electrical safety and compliance. These units protect against fire risks and electric shocks by incorporating RCDs and MCBs. Ideal for homes with wooden backboards or ceramic switches, this service ensures your electrical system meets current regulations while safeguarding your family and property.
Positive Input Ventilation
Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) systems combat condensation and damp by introducing filtered, tempered air into homes. Installed in loft spaces, these systems reduce mold growth and improve indoor air quality, particularly beneficial for asthma sufferers. The low-maintenance solution operates quietly, providing whole-home ventilation without significant disruption during installation.
CCTV Installation
High-resolution CCTV systems with night vision and remote monitoring enhance home security. Cameras offer color imaging in low light, motion-activated alerts, and global accessibility via smartphone apps. Designed to deter intruders and provide evidential-quality footage, installations include 5MP HD cameras with 30m infrared range, ensuring comprehensive coverage and peace of mind.
Burglar Alarm Installation
Wireless burglar alarms provide customizable security with app-based control and real-time notifications. Systems include LCD keypads, remote fobs, and motion sensors, offering flexible zoning and easy operation. Designed for minimal disruption during installation, these alarms integrate with existing security measures, ensuring robust protection against break-ins and unauthorized access.
Full Rewire
Comprehensive rewiring services address outdated or overloaded electrical systems, ensuring safety and compliance. Ideal for older homes or post-renovation updates, the process includes full inspections, consumer unit upgrades, and circuit testing. Completed by certified electricians, rewires mitigate fire risks and support modern electrical demands, guaranteeing long-term reliability and adherence to BS7671 standards.

Can't speak more highly of Dave. Really friendly and will explain it all if you ask. We asked Dave to come round and review the wiring in our house and recommend what remedial work needed doing and he gave a very honest summation of what needed doing and didn't try to talk me in to any expensive unnecessary re-work. On top of that, he was really reasonably priced for the amount of work he did. Really genuine guy, punctual, tidy, informative, reliable and honest. I would recommend to anybody.

I have used Dave at Medway Electricians several times at my property and have found him to be prompt, courteous and efficient. On some occasions he has worked in an empty house and I have been pleased with his work and charges.

Fantastic job,had dave in our house to re-wire two lights (one into bathroom and one into loft ) install all wiring and switches etc and to add sockets in the bedroom, we are renervating our house so i said that i would make good (ie fill in the groves that were cut for the wiring ) thinking that he could then just chisel the wall out like other electricians ive used,but dave used a cutter and dust collecter,and made such a neat and tidy cut that it was so easy to fill over,he takes huge pride in his work,and it shows in the fantastic job he did for us. I will definitely use him again and would

I found Medway Electrician via the Medway Council 'Recommended Trader Scheme'. We needed an prehistoric fuse box changing and the electrics throughly checked. Dave came to view the job and quoted to fit a new consumer unit and safety check all the wiring. The work was completed today, bang on the quote and we got a sense of humour thrown in free of charge! Great job Dave, we will deffinanly be recommending you to friends and family in the area!
