In Canterbury and Harbledown, Rough Common and Wincheap we work across Georgian brick houses near the cathedral precincts, Victorian terraces in Wincheap and St Dunstan's, large student rental stock, new estates at the edges. The recurring themes are student and rental HMO compliance, listed and period property in the precincts, commercial work for the city centre; we explain what we find in plain English and put a fixed price in writing before any work begins.
Why Harbledown homes and landlords ask for it
If you smell burning, see scorching or receive an electric shock in any Harbledown property, switch off the power where it is safe to do so and call our 24-hour Harbledown line.
We diagnose the fault in-situ at your Harbledown address, make the installation safe and explain what’s required for the typical cottage, semi-detached house or purpose-built maisonette before any work begins.

How quickly we can book you in
We can usually attend emergency electrical hazards in Harbledown within 4 hours of your call. Call our 24-hour emergency line and we’ll prioritise immediate electrical hazards, so tell us if there’s smoke, burning smells, loss of power or exposed wiring and we’ll assess urgency before confirming a realistic arrival window.
Where schedules permit, we offer same-day availability for urgent faults and planned repairs. We’ll give you clear appointment windows rather than vague promises and contact you if circumstances affect timing. If a situation is unsafe, switch off power at the consumer unit only if it’s safe to do so, keep clear of the affected area and call emergency services where there is fire risk. Before work begins, we’ll explain the fixed price in writing, including any out-of-hours rate, so you know the cost up front.
Streets and property types we know in Harbledown
When attending in Harbledown we carry the equipment to isolate unsafe circuits on site, investigate tripping consumer units typical of local Victorian and mid‑20th‑century properties, and restore essential power where it is safe to do so. You’ll receive a fixed price in writing before any repair begins, covering VAT, labour, parts and any certificate required for work carried out in Harbledown; our quoted price for that Harbledown job will not increase.
The full service, step by step
When you contact us on our 24-hour emergency line, we’ll first establish the immediate risk: whether there’s burning, electric shock, water near electrics, repeated tripping or loss of essential power. We’ll give clear isolation advice where needed and dispatch an electrician.
On arrival, we complete an initial assessment and targeted safety checks to find the fault, make the installation safe and restore essential circuits where possible. Before any chargeable work starts, we’ll explain the findings and provide a fixed price in writing; your bill won’t exceed it.
We then carry out safe repairs, test the affected circuits and confirm what has been restored. If a permanent solution needs specialist materials or further work, we’ll explain parts sourcing and repairs scheduling clearly, including costs and the earliest practical return visit.
