“Our kitchen sockets kept tripping the fuse board and three other electricians couldn't figure out why. These lads turned up with proper testing kit, found a damaged cable behind the dishwasher in about twenty minutes, and had it sorted same afternoon. Haven't had a single trip since. Proper job done right.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and how we can help you
How much does electrical fault repair typically cost in Birmingham?
Most electrical repairs in Birmingham range from £80 to £350 depending on the fault complexity and parts needed. Simple fixes like replacing a faulty socket or fixing a loose connection cost less, while tracing hidden cable damage or repairing consumer units requires more time and expertise. You'll receive a transparent quote before any work begins, with no hidden fees.
What's the fastest you can attend an electrical emergency?
We offer same-day emergency slots for urgent electrical faults that pose safety risks, such as burning smells, complete power loss, or sparking outlets. Our vans carry common replacement parts, which means many repairs are completed during the first visit. For non-emergency repairs, you can schedule a convenient appointment that fits your routine without lengthy waiting times.
Do I need an electrician for flickering lights or can I fix it myself?
You should always call a qualified electrician for flickering lights, as they often indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, or failing components that pose fire risks. Our team uses thermal imaging and multifunction testing to identify the exact cause, whether it's a problem in your consumer unit, damaged wiring, or a faulty light fitting. DIY attempts can worsen the issue or create dangerous situations.
Will I get proper certification after repairs are completed?
Yes, you'll receive either an Electrical Installation Certificate or Minor Works Certificate documenting all repairs carried out. This certification proves compliance with current regulations, maintains your insurance validity, and provides essential documentation if you're a landlord. All our electricians hold full 18th Edition qualifications, and we're NICEIC Approved Contractors, ensuring every certificate meets industry standards.
Why do my circuit breakers keep tripping repeatedly?
Frequent tripping usually indicates overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, damaged cables, or moisture in electrical fittings. We diagnose the root cause using professional testing equipment rather than guessing, then provide targeted repairs that prevent future trips. One of our Birmingham customers had three other electricians fail to solve their tripping issue before we identified damaged cable behind their dishwasher and fixed it permanently.
How long does a typical electrical repair visit take?
Simple repairs like replacing damaged sockets or fixing loose connections typically take 1-2 hours, including testing and certification. More complex fault-finding involving hidden cable damage or consumer unit issues may require 3-4 hours. We've completed over 2,758 customer jobs since 1993, so we work efficiently while maintaining thorough safety standards. You'll know the expected timeframe before we start work.
Can you fix electrical problems left by previous contractors?
Absolutely. We've rescued major projects including a Birmingham city centre cafe facing disaster from negligent prior work with no plans or drawings. Our team traces existing circuits, identifies dangerous installations, and delivers compliant remedial fixes with full certification. We've earned repeat contracts with Windrush Housing, Eden Adaptations, and Birmingham City Council through this expertise in fixing others' mistakes.
What areas of Birmingham do you cover for emergency repairs?
We provide electrical repair services throughout Birmingham and the wider West Midlands region. Our fully stocked vans operate across the area, allowing us to respond quickly to emergency callouts and scheduled repairs. With over 30 years serving local properties since 1993, we know Birmingham's housing stock well, from Victorian terraces to modern developments.
Should I get an electrical inspection before buying a property?
Yes, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) before purchase reveals hidden faults that could cost thousands to repair later. We provide rapid EICRs trusted by landlords and homebuyers across Birmingham, identifying safety issues, outdated wiring, and non-compliant installations. This gives you negotiating power or peace of mind that your investment is electrically sound before you commit.
What testing equipment do you use to find electrical faults?
We use thermal imaging cameras to detect hot spots indicating loose connections or overloaded circuits, plus multifunction testers that measure earth continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity. This professional diagnostic approach finds faults that visual inspection alone would miss, ensuring we fix the actual problem rather than just the symptoms. All our electricians are trained to interpret results and explain findings clearly.
Do your repairs come with any warranty protection?
Yes, all our repair work is backed by warranty protection covering both labour and materials used. We've maintained a 4.9 rating across 2,758 customers because we stand behind our work long-term. If you experience any issues related to repairs we've completed, our team remains available for follow-up support. Most of our new customers come from word-of-mouth referrals, which reflects our commitment to lasting solutions.
Can you repair older wiring systems or do they need replacing?
Many older wiring systems can be partially repaired if the damage is localised and the existing installation meets safety standards. However, we'll honestly advise when complete rewiring is the safer, more cost-effective long-term solution. We complete full domestic rewires for older Birmingham properties with minimal disruption, upgrading consumer units to 18th Edition standards. You'll receive transparent recommendations based on proper testing, not sales pressure.
