Working on Deal seafront and High Street.
Deal town centre runs from the seafront promenade west up High Street to the station, with the Middle Street conservation area (Kent's first, 1968) and its Georgian terraces threaded through the middle. The jobs cluster around three constraints. Meter positions are usually recessed into the party wall between terraces, which restricts consumer-unit dimensions. Ceiling voids are shallow or absent on the ground floor - most rewires here go surface-clad on the ground floor and chased upstairs. And any front-elevation work - EV charger, external light, PV cable through the render - needs a conservation officer conversation at Dover District Council before we quote.
Beach Street and Farrier Street have a growing weekender share, and their brief is usually: full rewire, PV and battery on the rear pitch, EV charger routed to the rear parking, LED downlights sized for the shallow ceiling voids of Georgian construction.
Common Deal-town jobs.
- Consumer unit swap in a party-wall recess - custom-size 18th Edition Amendment 2 boards where standard 500mm-wide kit won't fit.
- Full rewire on a three-storey Georgian terrace, chased upper floors, surface heritage-conduit ground floor.
- Landlord EICR - Deal town has a high private-rented share and 5-yearly statutory reports are the constant baseline.
- EV charger on a rear yard where the front is off-limits.
- Weekender-property battery-only install for time-of-use tariff arbitrage without solar.
