Middle Street and the conservation areas
Middle Street became Kent's first conservation area in February 1968, and its boundary has been extended three times since. Dover District Council's heritage strategy counts 291 listed buildings inside it. Deal also has conservation areas at Upper Deal, Nelson Street, Victoria Road and Wellington Road, and Deal South Barracks, with more along the Walmer seafront.
An Article 4 direction confirmed in March 2000 means changes to the fronts of unlisted houses in Middle Street, such as windows, doors and roofs, need planning permission. Nelson Street has had a similar direction since 2017. If you're planning new outside lighting or a charger on a front wall, check with the council first.
Georgian and Victorian houses
Deal East has a high share of very old homes: Valuation Office Agency data for 2024 shows 63% were built before 1900. At the 2021 Census, 42% of households in North Deal ward lived in terraced houses.
Many houses like these have been rewired at some point, often in stages. A careful EICR shows what's original, what's been added and what needs attention. When a rewire is the answer, we plan routes that avoid unnecessary damage to plaster, panelling and floors.
Rented homes in Deal
In North Deal ward, 25.8% of households rented privately at the 2021 Census, above the Dover district figure of 19.0%.
Landlords in Deal need a fresh electrical report at least every five years, with a copy for each tenant. We can provide the EICR, carry out any remedial work and give you the written confirmation the rules require.

What our customers say about us
Stephen G. At short notice, Tyler and Reese removed our aging consumer unit and installed a new consumer unit in its place. TKM electrics are very professional in their approach to work. Great customer service. Tyler provided plenty of insightful options before hand which enabled me to make an informed decision regarding the type of work required for the best outcome. Great couple of lads to have working in a domestic setting. Highly recommended
Jan F. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. On finding myself with an electrical emergency, I had the daunting task of finding an electrician. As a senior person it was a task I dreaded, who to trust?? On reading many, many reviews, I kept coming back to TKM and as they were local I gave them a call. Best thing I did, their reviews say it all, Tyler & Jamie were so professional, courteous & helpful. They sorted my emergency, and will be back to do more work, with bacon sarnies on the menu!! Thank you boys 🤗
Tania S. TKM Electrical were recommended whilst having work completed in my garden room. Tyler listened to what I wanted and offered a number of options to realise my wishes. Jamie completed much of the galvanised work and was professional throughout. He is meticulous, methodical and clearly takes pride in his work. One of the lights that i had purchased was faulty and Jamie swapped it over once the replacement was received in a timely manner. A professional company who I have no hesitation in recommending.
Electricians in Deal: your questions
Do I need permission for electrical work on a house in Middle Street?
It depends on the building. If it's listed, works that affect its character need listed building consent, which may include new external fittings or visible cable runs. Unlisted houses in Middle Street are covered by an Article 4 direction controlling changes to their fronts. Speak to Dover District Council before work starts, and we'll plan the job around what they agree.
What happens if my rental's EICR in Deal comes back unsatisfactory?
The landlord must have the further investigation or remedial work done by a qualified person within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so. Then send written confirmation, with the report, to each tenant and to Dover District Council within 28 days of the work being finished. We can carry out the repairs and provide the confirmation you need.
