“Our Victorian terrace in Moseley needed a complete rewire and I was dreading the mess. The team kept everything tidy, explained what they were doing each day, and finished exactly when they said they would. Got all the certificates for the mortgage company and the new consumer unit looks brilliant. Honestly can't fault them.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and how we can help you
How much does a full house rewire cost in Birmingham?
A complete rewire for a typical Birmingham home ranges from £3,000 to £6,500 depending on property size, number of circuits and access to existing wiring. You'll receive a detailed fixed-price quote covering all materials, labour and certification before work starts. We've completed over 2,849 rewires since 1993, so you'll get accurate pricing based on your specific property requirements.
How long does a domestic rewiring project take to complete?
Most full house rewires take 5 to 10 working days depending on property size and complexity. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your daily routine, protecting floors and keeping work areas clean throughout. You'll receive a realistic timeline during your initial assessment, and we'll coordinate with you to schedule work around your family's needs.
What qualifications should my electrician have for residential work?
Your electrician should hold full 18th Edition qualifications as a minimum. We're NICEIC Approved Contractors with our Principal Duty Holder holding C&G 2391 certification, meaning every installation meets current UK safety standards. You'll receive proper electrical installation certificates and EICR documentation that satisfy building control, insurance companies and mortgage lenders.
Why do I need an EICR for my rental property?
UK law requires landlords to provide tenants with a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report proving your property's wiring is safe. Without current EICR certification, you risk failing inspections, invalidating insurance and facing legal penalties. We complete rapid EICRs for Birmingham rental properties with quick turnaround, identifying any issues and providing remedial work if needed.
Can you work around my kitchen fitters during renovation?
Absolutely. We complete up to 30 kitchen electrical fit-outs weekly across the West Midlands, coordinating closely with cabinet installers and tradespeople. You'll get all socket outlets, appliance connections and lighting circuits installed exactly where needed, with proper certification and safety checks. Most kitchen installers in Birmingham already know our team and request us specifically.
What does upgrading my consumer unit actually involve?
We replace your old fuse box with a modern consumer unit featuring individual circuit breakers and RCD protection that instantly cuts power if faults occur. The upgrade takes 4 to 6 hours, includes full testing of all circuits and brings your home up to 18th Edition standards. You'll notice improved safety and the ability to run multiple appliances without tripping.
Do you install EV chargers for Birmingham homes?
Yes, we're OZEV-approved installers qualified to handle government EV chargepoint grants for your home or workplace. We work with leading UK charging brands to deliver reliable, high-performance chargers at cost-effective prices across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. You'll receive full installation certification and guidance on accessing available grants to reduce your costs.
When should I get my home electrics inspected?
You should arrange an electrical inspection every 10 years for owner-occupied homes, or every 5 years for rental properties under current regulations. If you're buying an older Birmingham property, get an EICR before completion to identify any hidden wiring issues. We also recommend inspections after major renovations or if you notice flickering lights, burning smells or frequent tripping.
What happens if you find dangerous wiring during inspection?
We'll immediately highlight any hazards in your EICR report, explaining the risks in plain language and providing a detailed quote for remedial work. You'll understand exactly what needs fixing and why, with priority given to immediate dangers. We've rescued properties from serious electrical disasters, so you can trust our assessment and solutions will keep your family safe.
Are you covered by insurance for residential electrical work?
Yes, we carry full public liability insurance and professional indemnity cover as required by our NICEIC Approved Contractor status. Every installation comes with proper certification that protects you during property sales, insurance claims and building control inspections. With 2,758 customers and a 4.9 rating since 1993, you're working with a trusted, fully compliant Birmingham electrical contractor.
How do I maintain my electrical system after installation?
Modern electrical installations require minimal maintenance, but you should test your RCD protection quarterly using the test button on your consumer unit. Avoid overloading sockets, watch for flickering lights or unusual smells, and schedule periodic inspections every 10 years. We'll provide ongoing support after your installation and send reminders when your next inspection is due.
Can you fix problems left by previous electricians?
Yes, we specialise in remedial electrical work and have rescued major projects other contractors abandoned. We've recovered properties with incomplete installations, missing documentation and dangerous wiring, delivering full fixes with proper certification even under tight deadlines. If you've been left with substandard work, we'll assess the situation honestly and provide solutions to bring everything up to code.
