Why Proper Electrical Work Matters for West Midlands Properties
You'll get peace of mind knowing your electrical system is safe, legal, and ready for modern appliances. Across Edgbaston, Harborne, and Moseley, older properties often have wiring that can't handle today's power loads—leading to tripped circuits, safety risks, and insurance complications. We've completed over 30 kitchen rewires weekly for West Midlands installers, so you're working with electricians who understand Birmingham's housing stock. Proper upgrades mean safer homes, lower energy bills, and full compliance with rental property regulations if you're a landlord.

- Meet 18th Edition regulations with full certification included
- Handle modern appliances and EV chargers safely

How We Handle Your Electrical Project from Start to Finish
We start with a thorough assessment of your existing system, identifying any safety concerns and discussing your specific needs.

Our 18th Edition qualified electricians then complete the installation with minimal disruption to your daily routine, keeping work areas tidy and respecting your home. Every job finishes with comprehensive testing, full certification, and a walkthrough explaining your new system—the same approach that's earned us a 4.9 rating from over 2,700 customers.

What Electrical Upgrades Cost in Birmingham and the West Midlands
Your costs depend on the scope of work—a consumer unit replacement typically runs less than a full house rewire, whilst adding circuits for EV chargers or home extensions sits somewhere between. We provide transparent pricing that reflects the quality materials, proper certification, and experienced electricians you're getting. Factors like property size, existing wiring condition, and accessibility all influence the final price, but you'll always know exactly what you're paying before we start. Call today for your free quote and let's discuss your specific requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and how we can help you
How much does a full consumer unit upgrade typically cost?
A consumer unit upgrade typically ranges from £400 to £800 depending on your property size and the number of circuits involved. You'll receive a transparent quote upfront that includes all materials, labour, testing, and certification with no hidden charges. We've completed over 2,849 installations since 1993, so we can give you an accurate price after a quick assessment of your existing setup.
What's involved in upgrading old wiring to 18th Edition standards?
We start with a comprehensive assessment of your current system, identifying any safety risks or capacity issues. Then we install new circuits, upgrade your consumer unit with modern protection devices, and ensure everything meets current BS 7671 regulations. You'll get full testing, certification, and a clear explanation of your upgraded system before we finish.
How long does a typical electrical upgrade take to complete?
Most consumer unit upgrades take one to two days, while a full house rewire typically takes five to seven days depending on property size. We work efficiently to minimise disruption, protecting your floors and furnishings throughout. Our team completes up to 30 installations weekly across Birmingham, so we've refined our process to be as quick as possible without compromising quality.
Do you cover all areas of Birmingham for electrical installations?
Yes, we provide electrical installation and upgrade services throughout Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. We've worked everywhere from Moseley and Harborne to city centre commercial properties, completing installations for homeowners, landlords, and even Birmingham City Council. Our local knowledge means we understand the typical electrical challenges in different Birmingham neighbourhoods, especially older properties.
Why should I upgrade my electrical system if it still works?
Outdated wiring poses serious fire risks and can't safely handle modern appliances, EV chargers, or increased electrical demands. You'll eliminate tripped circuits, pass rental safety inspections, increase your property value, and protect your family from potential hazards. Modern systems also reduce energy waste and give you proper protection devices that older fuse boxes simply can't provide.
What qualifications do your electricians hold for installation work?
All our electricians hold full 18th Edition qualifications, with our Principal Duty Holder also C&G 2391 certified. We're NICEIC Approved Contractors, registered with City & Guilds, and CheckATrade approved with over 1,893 verified reviews. This means every installation meets the highest industry standards and you'll receive proper certification that insurance companies and building control accept without question.
Can you upgrade my system to support an EV charger?
Absolutely. We're OZEV-approved installers and regularly upgrade consumer units to handle EV charger demands. We'll assess your existing capacity, install additional circuits if needed, and ensure your board meets 18th Edition standards before fitting the charger. Many older systems can't safely support the extra load, so proper upgrading is essential for safe EV charging at home.
Will I get proper certification after the electrical work is done?
Yes, you'll receive complete electrical installation certificates, detailed circuit schedules, and proper consumer unit labelling as required by law. We provide all documentation needed for insurance, building control, property sales, or rental compliance. Every installation undergoes thorough testing including insulation resistance and earth fault loop impedance checks, with results documented in your certification pack.
What happens if my property fails an electrical safety inspection?
We'll conduct a detailed assessment showing exactly what needs upgrading to pass, with photographic evidence and a transparent quote. Many landlords come to us after failing EICR checks, and we've helped hundreds get their properties compliant. We prioritise the safety-critical issues first and can work within your budget to get you legally compliant without unnecessary extras.
How do you minimise disruption during a house rewire?
We protect all floors and furnishings with proper coverings, work room by room where possible, and coordinate around your schedule. Our team keeps work areas clean and explains what's happening at each stage. We've refined our process over 30 years to be as efficient as possible, and many customers are surprised how manageable the disruption actually is compared to their expectations.
Should I upgrade my electrics before or after a kitchen renovation?
Ideally before, so new circuits and sockets are properly positioned for your kitchen layout. We work with multiple kitchen installers across the West Midlands, completing up to 30 full kitchen electrical fit-outs weekly. This coordination means your electricals integrate seamlessly with cabinetry and appliances, avoiding messy remedial work later. We'll provide proper certification and safety checks on completion.
What makes your electrical upgrades different from other Birmingham electricians?
We've been serving Birmingham since 1993 with a 4.9 rating from 2,758 customers, and most of our work comes from word-of-mouth referrals. We're trusted by Windrush Housing, Eden Adaptations, and Birmingham City Council for complex installations. You'll get transparent pricing, full certification, and first-time inspection passes backed by NICEIC approval and genuine local expertise that cowboys simply can't match.
