Installing in Kent: what to expect

Region

Kent offers a wide mix of housing — from Victorian terraces in Medway towns to modern estates in Ashford and detached properties in the Weald. Most suburban homes have driveways, keeping installation costs moderate.

Off-street parking is available at most Kent properties outside of town centres. Properties in Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells, and older Medway towns may have more limited parking options.

Kent has a growing rental sector, particularly in commuter towns. Renters and flat owners in areas like Maidstone, Canterbury, and Dartford are likely eligible for the OZEV grant.

What drives the cost

Property type is the main cost driver in Kent's £800–1,200 band. Ashford modern estates — where the consumer unit sits close to a side driveway — are the jobs that land near £800: short cable run, no masonry complications, a clean half-day for most electricians. Victorian terraces in Medway towns tell a different story: rear parking means conduit has to run the depth of the property, often through older plasterwork, adding an hour of labour and materials. Detached properties in the Weald are typically straightforward — ample driveway space, accessible consumer units — though any needing a consumer unit upgrade for the 32A circuit will push toward £1,200.
