Working the whole patch from one base keeps things simple. You're not waiting days for someone to fit you in, I'm rarely coming from far away, and I'm not charging you for an hour stuck in traffic to get there.

The electrics change a lot depending on where you are, which is why each area's got its own page rather than one generic list. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces along the river in Gravesend and Northfleet throw up old rubber and cloth wiring and wooden-backed fuseboards. The 1930s semis around Istead Rise have their own quirks. The new-builds at Ebbsfleet Valley are all modern circuits, extra sockets and EV chargers. And the villages out toward Cobham, Meopham, Hartley and New Ash Green tend to be older and detached, with outbuildings, long cable runs and gardens that want power and lighting doing properly.

Across the boundary it's different again — the suburban streets of Bexley, Bexleyheath, Welling, Sidcup, New Eltham, Chislehurst and Swanley, plus Dartford, Swanscombe, Greenhithe and Longfield in between. Wherever you are, the job's the same: do it safely, leave it tidy, and hand you the right paperwork.

You'll find the full list below — tap your town for a page about electrical work in your area. And if your village isn't on the list, or you're right on the edge of the patch, ring and ask anyway. More often than not I can still get to you.
