The Canterbury picture in one page

What defines the workload here.

Canterbury has many listed buildings and conservation areas, administered by Canterbury City Council. That means Listed Building Consent can be a real part of the electrical work-scope on a front-facing job inside the walls, and extra planning controls can apply to some frontages. If you are unsure, check the council planning map or ask us.

Outside the protected zones, the stock is a wide mix. Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Wincheap and St Dunstan's, mid-C20th semis and chalet bungalows in Hales Place and Thanington, larger period stock and converted farms in Chartham, Bridge and the CT4 Downland villages, and new-build enclaves at Thanington Park and the Sturry expansion. The private-rented sector is dense on the university-adjacent streets - St Dunstan's, Wincheap and the Old Dover Road area - so landlord EICRs and consumer unit upgrades to bring pre-A2 boards up to current standard are a steady beat of the workload.

The network operator in Kent is South Eastern Power Networks, part of UK Power Networks. We tell the network operator about solar and battery installs, and larger systems need their approval before work starts.
