Electrician in Chatham

CJA Electrical is a local electrician covering Chatham and the wider Medway area. We handle the full range of domestic work: EICRs and landlord compliance, emergency callouts and fault-finding, consumer unit changes, extra sockets and lighting, smoke and heat alarms, and outdoor circuits. We’re around 5 minutes from our Rochester base, so Chatham appointments are usually available the same week, and the people who quote the job are the ones who turn up to do it.

What an electrician in Chatham covers

In Chatham we cover both ends of the scale. At one end, the compliance work: EICRs, landlord certificates, and fixed-wire testing for commercial units. At the other, the small but important jobs: a single extra socket, a faulty light circuit, a replacement consumer unit, a couple of outdoor floodlights. In between sit the mid-size projects: rewires, kitchen and bathroom circuits, and alarm upgrades. One electrician, one point of contact, and a quote agreed up front on all of it.

The properties we work on in Chatham

Chatham’s housing is a wide mix, Victorian terraces in the older streets, post-war and ex-council estates around the periphery, and modern flats around the waterfront regeneration. EICR findings vary accordingly. We see the full spread of Chatham property, from period homes near Historic Dockyard, Chatham High Street, Fort Amherst to the estates on the edge of town. That range is exactly why a fixed quote after a quick chat beats a one-size-fits-all price: a tidy modern flat and a rambling older house are very different jobs, and you should only pay for the work yours actually needs.

Common electrical work in Medway

The most frequent Medway enquiries are predictable, and that’s a good thing. It means fast, confident quotes. Tripping RCDs and lost power top the emergency list. On the planned side it’s fuse board upgrades, additional sockets and USB points, replacing tired light fittings, wiring electric showers and cookers, and adding power to a garage, shed or garden room. Whatever the job, you’ll know the price before we start.

EICRs and landlord compliance in Chatham

Whether you’re a landlord with one Chatham rental or a portfolio across Medway, the compliance picture is the same: a five-yearly EICR, a fresh one at each new tenancy, working interlinked smoke alarms, and emergency lighting where there are shared escape routes. Medway Council can issue civil penalties of up to £30,000 where the EICR is missing. We keep the process simple (book it, test it, report within 48 hours, and a clear quote for any remedials) so the paperwork stays current without becoming a headache.

Why Chatham property owners choose CJA Electrical

The simple pitch for Chatham: you deal with one qualified electrician from start to finish. The person who answers the phone and quotes the job is the person who carries it out and signs the report. Nothing gets handed off or lost in the middle. Ten years on domestic installations across Kent, fully insured, and an honest opinion every time: if something doesn’t need doing, we’ll tell you, and if it does, you’ll get a clear price before any work begins.

How a job runs

The process for Chatham work is built to be painless. Tell us about the job (a photo of the fuse board is often enough for an EICR quote) and we’ll come back with a fixed price. We pick a slot, we do the work, and you get a clear explanation of anything that came up. For testing, the report follows within two days. Any follow-up work is a separate, itemised quote, so you’re never committed to more than you’ve agreed.

Credentials, insurance and how we work

CJA Electrical is fully qualified and insured. Qualifications include City & Guilds 2391 in inspection and testing, City & Guilds 2382 in the current edition of the wiring regulations (BS 7671), and the City & Guilds 2365 diploma in electrical installation. Cover runs to £1 million public liability and £100,000 professional indemnity. Behind the certificates sit ten years of hands-on domestic work across Kent, which, in practice, is what tells you what a fuse board is hiding before it’s even opened.
