Homes inside the town walls
Sandwich Walled Town is one of the two largest conservation areas in Dover district. Of its 419 listed buildings, six are grade I and 25 are grade II*. Eight of the 18 scheduled monuments in the district's conservation areas are in Sandwich, and an Article 4(2) direction has controlled changes to the fronts of unlisted houses since 1998.
Electrical work in a listed building needs careful preparation. Works that would affect its character need listed building consent, so we survey first and help you put together the details the council will want, such as fittings and cable routes. Older fittings can stay where they're safe, and where they can't, we'll explain why.
Businesses at Discovery Park and in town
Discovery Park, the former Pfizer research site at Sandwich, gained Enterprise Zone status in 2011. Dover District Council says it now has around 280,000 square metres of buildings, over 160 companies and 3,500 staff, and the district's Local Plan focuses economic growth there and at White Cliffs Business Park.
We carry out commercial EICRs, lighting upgrades, emergency lighting and fault finding for offices, shops, workshops and other business premises across Sandwich.

What our customers say about us
Vickie S. Couldn't recommend Ty and his team any higher. Whole rewire of a 5 bedroom, 4 storey house in 5 days!!!! Was worried about the works that needed doing, but worried unnecessarily! Honestly blown away by how efficient, professional and friendly Ty and his team were. 5 stars all day every day. Thanks guys.
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
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.
