Terraced streets and older homes
According to Valuation Office Agency council tax records for 2024, 63% of homes in the Dover West area and 49% in Dover East were built before 1919. At the 2021 Census, more than half of households in Tower Hamlets and Buckland wards lived in terraced houses.
Older terraces can still have a consumer unit from decades ago, or circuits added over the years without RCD protection. A new consumer unit with modern protection is a worthwhile upgrade, and an EICR will tell you whether the wiring behind it is sound.
Renting in central Dover
Private renting is common in the town centre. At the 2021 Census, 39.9% of households in Town and Castle ward rented privately, along with 36.4% in St Radigunds and 35.7% in Tower Hamlets. The figure for Dover district was 19.0%.
Dover District Council asks for electrical test reports, along with gas and fire safety certificates, when you apply for an HMO licence. We can provide the EICR and carry out any remedial work.
New homes at Whitfield
Whitfield Urban Expansion is the largest housing allocation in the district's Local Plan, adopted in October 2024. It's planned to reach around 6,350 homes once complete, and 704 had been built by March 2025.
If you've moved into a new home at Whitfield, we can fit a home EV charger, garden power or security lighting, or solar with battery storage, and certify everything properly.

What our customers say about us
Thomas M. Ty has done a fantastic job helping get my house safe and sorted. It needed quite a bit of work to bring everything up to scratch, and he’s handled it all brilliantly. The team have been responsive, efficient, and everything’s been done to a really high standard. They’ve been easy to work with clear communication and totally dependable. I’ll definitely call on for any future electrical work and would absolutely recommend.
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.
Connor W. Tyler and the team upgraded our fusebox for us in Margate,Kent at our commercial work shop. Currently booked with them again for a 10kw solar system. Very clean and tidy and reasonably priced too.
Electricians in Dover: your questions
What electrical paperwork does Dover District Council need for an HMO licence?
The council asks for electrical test reports with your application, along with a copy of the tenancy agreement, gas and fire safety certificates and plans of the building. You need a licence if five or more people forming two or more households share a kitchen, bathroom or toilet. We'll test the installation, PAT test any appliances you provide and fix defects first, so the paperwork is ready to submit.
My power keeps tripping in my terraced house. Can you find the fault?
Yes. Repeated tripping usually points to a faulty appliance, damp getting into a circuit, a damaged cable or an overloaded circuit. We test circuit by circuit to find the cause, then repair it. If it happens at night or over a weekend, we offer 24-hour emergency call-outs across Dover.
