David Thompson
Birmingham
“Our 1930s terrace in Moseley had wiring that hadn't been touched since the 70s. They did a full rewire in just under a week, worked around our schedule, and left everything spotless each evening. Got all the certificates sorted for our remortgage too. Proper job done right.”
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 typical full rewire for a Birmingham home ranges from £3,000 to £6,500 depending on property size, age, and accessibility. Larger Victorian or Edwardian properties with solid walls cost more due to additional labour and materials. We provide detailed written quotes after assessing your specific property, so you'll know exactly what you're paying for before any work begins.
What's included in an electrical installation condition report?
An EICR thoroughly examines your property's wiring, consumer unit, earthing arrangements, and all circuits to identify safety hazards or non-compliance issues. You receive a detailed report grading any problems as C1 (dangerous), C2 (potentially dangerous), or C3 (improvement recommended), plus all the certification needed for rental compliance, insurance, or property sales.
How long does a complete house rewire take?
Most full rewires take between 5 to 10 working days depending on your property size and whether you're living in the home during the work. We plan carefully to minimise disruption, maintain power to essential circuits where possible, and tidy up thoroughly each evening so your home remains liveable throughout the project.
Do I legally need an EICR for my rental property?
Yes, since June 2020 all landlords in England must have a valid EICR conducted every five years, plus at the start of each new tenancy. You're legally required to provide tenants with a copy and fix any C1 or C2 issues within 28 days. We complete EICRs quickly for Birmingham landlords and can schedule remedial work immediately if problems are found.
Why should I upgrade my old consumer unit?
Modern consumer units with RCD protection can prevent fatal electric shocks and reduce fire risk from electrical faults. Older fuse boxes lack these lifesaving features and may not meet current insurance requirements or building regulations. Upgrading also increases your property value and makes future electrical work simpler and safer.
Are your electricians properly qualified and certified?
Every electrician on our team holds full 18th Edition qualifications, and our Principal Duty Holder is C&G 2391 certified. We're NICEIC Approved Contractors, registered with City & Guilds, and CheckATrade approved. We've been serving Birmingham since 1993 with over 2,758 satisfied customers, so you're working with genuinely qualified professionals.
Can I stay in my house during a rewire?
Yes, most homeowners remain in their property during rewiring work. We work room by room to maintain some power throughout, schedule disruptive work during daytime hours, and restore basic lighting and sockets each evening. You'll need to plan around limited power access, but complete evacuation isn't usually necessary for residential properties.
What areas of Birmingham do you cover for electrical work?
We serve all Birmingham postcodes and the wider West Midlands region. Our electricians are based locally, so we respond quickly whether you're in Moseley, Harborne, Edgbaston, or anywhere across the city. We've completed thousands of jobs throughout Birmingham since 1993, so we know the area's housing stock intimately.
How often should electrical wiring be inspected in older homes?
Properties over 40 years old should have electrical inspections every 10 years, or sooner if you notice flickering lights, burning smells, or frequent circuit breaker trips. Many Birmingham homes still have original 1960s or 70s wiring that's now unsafe. An EICR identifies problems before they become dangerous or cause expensive damage.
What happens if you find dangerous wiring during an inspection?
We immediately inform you of any C1 (danger present) or C2 (potentially dangerous) issues found during testing. You'll receive clear explanations of the risks and recommended fixes with transparent pricing. For rental properties, we can often schedule urgent remedial work within days to ensure you meet legal compliance deadlines.
Do you provide certificates for all electrical work completed?
Absolutely. Every installation receives full certification including electrical installation certificates, test results, and detailed circuit schedules. These documents are legally required for building control, essential for insurance claims, and necessary when selling your property. We also register work with relevant authorities where required, giving you complete peace of mind.
What's the difference between a partial and full rewire?
A partial rewire updates specific circuits or rooms, often used for kitchen extensions or adding new circuits. A full rewire replaces all cables, sockets, switches, and the consumer unit throughout your entire property. We recommend full rewires for homes with wiring over 40 years old, while partial rewires suit properties needing targeted upgrades or additions.
