Domestic Electrician in Lichfield
Free written quote, fully insured, NAPIT-registered electrical work across Lichfield and the surrounding WS13 and WS14 areas.
Lichfield homeowners come to us for all kinds of domestic electrical work: full and partial rewires, consumer unit upgrades, extra sockets and lighting circuits, fault-finding, and EICR certificates for landlords. Whether you own a Victorian terrace close to the cathedral close, a 1930s semi in the older parts of town, or a 1970s or 1980s estate property in Boley Park, Curborough, or Streethay, the age and layout of your wiring shapes every job we quote for. We take the time to understand what is already in place before we recommend anything.
We are NAPIT-registered and carry full public liability and employer's liability insurance. Every job is quoted in writing, itemised, and agreed before any work begins. There are no surprise additions on the invoice. We travel to Lichfield regularly from our Redditch base, roughly 50 minutes via the M42 and A38, so availability is reliable and turnaround on quotes is fast.
What's included
Every Lichfield job includes.
A thorough walk-round with you before any work starts, so we understand the scope, note any access constraints, and agree exactly what will be done. Nothing is assumed; everything is confirmed in writing in your quote.
Full or partial rewire carried out to BS 7671 18th Edition wiring regulations, with all new cable runs concealed as far as the structure allows, surfaces made good on completion, and a completion certificate issued.
Consumer unit (fuse box) upgrade to a modern dual-RCD or RCBO board, with all existing circuits tested and documented before the new unit is commissioned. You receive a full electrical installation certificate on the same day.
Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for landlords, letting agents, or homeowners who need a documented inspection. We produce a clear, coded report that satisfies current letting regulations and is accepted by all major insurers.
Fault-finding and diagnostics using calibrated test equipment. We trace the source of tripped breakers, dead circuits, or intermittent faults systematically rather than by guesswork, and we explain the cause clearly before carrying out any repair.
Additional socket and lighting circuits installed to current regulations, including outdoor weatherproof sockets, under-cabinet lighting, and garden circuits. All new circuits are notified to building control where required under Part P of the Building Regulations.
Local knowledge
Electrician in Lichfield.
Lichfield is a compact but architecturally varied city. The cathedral close and the streets immediately surrounding it contain a high proportion of listed and pre-Victorian properties where the original fabric must be respected. In those buildings, surface-run wiring in trunking is often the only realistic option for new circuits; chasing into lime-render walls is rarely appropriate and, in listed structures, may require listed building consent before work begins. We are familiar with working carefully in older properties and will flag any consent requirements during the survey.
The 1970s and 1980s estates that expanded Lichfield significantly, particularly Boley Park to the south-east, Curborough to the north, and Streethay beyond the ring road, present a different but equally common set of electrical issues. Properties of that era typically have original consumer units that have never been upgraded. Many still use rewirable fuses or early MCB boards without RCD protection. Under current regulations, any significant electrical work in these homes triggers the requirement to bring the installation up to a safer standard, which usually means a full consumer unit replacement. It is worth knowing this before you book any single job, because the scope can change once we open the board.
Lichfield also has a growing number of homeowners on those same estates who are installing solar panels, battery storage, and EV chargers. The local grid infrastructure is generally adequate, but older consumer units are not compatible with the additional circuits those technologies require. A consumer unit upgrade is often the logical first step before any renewable or EV installation, and combining the two jobs in a single visit keeps disruption and cost down. We handle all of those services in-house, so there is no need to coordinate separate contractors.
Why Lichfield
Why Lichfield chooses us.
Lichfield customers choose us because we combine proper qualification with clear, honest communication and no hidden costs.
NAPIT-registered for domestic electrical work, which means every job we complete is certified to current BS 7671 regulations and notifiable work is submitted to building control automatically. You receive the correct paperwork without chasing us for it.
Fully insured for public liability and employer's liability, so your property and our operatives are covered throughout. We carry the relevant documentation and are happy to share it before work begins.
Free, written, itemised quotes with no obligation. Every quote is produced after a physical survey, not over the phone, so the price you agree is the price you pay. We do not add call-out fees or material surcharges after the fact.
We cover Lichfield regularly and can usually offer a survey appointment within a few working days. For urgent fault-finding or loss of supply, we prioritise accordingly and give you a realistic arrival window rather than a vague all-day slot.
We offer a joined-up service: if your consumer unit upgrade opens the door to EV charging or solar, we can quote for the whole project in one visit. You deal with one contractor, one invoice, and one point of contact throughout.

Often booked together
Pairs well with.
Many Lichfield homeowners on Boley Park and Curborough are installing home EV chargers. A consumer unit upgrade and an EV charger installation combined in a single visit is the most efficient way to do both, with one set of notifications and one completion certificate.
Lichfield's 1970s and 1980s estates are well-suited to rooftop solar. We often quote a consumer unit upgrade and a solar installation together, since the new board is a prerequisite for safely adding generation circuits and export metering.
When we are already routing cables for a rewire or new circuits, adding structured data cabling or a CCTV system is straightforward. Combined jobs reduce the number of days your home is disrupted and cut the total amount of decoration made good.
Worth knowing
Before you book in Lichfield.
Listed building consent may be required before any electrical alterations in a listed property in or near the Lichfield cathedral conservation area. We will identify this during the survey, but it is worth checking with Lichfield District Council before booking, as consent can take several weeks to obtain.
Properties in the WS13 and WS14 postcode areas built before 1970 may have aluminium wiring or old rubber-insulated cable that is no longer safe to extend or modify. A condition report will establish what is present before we quote for any new work, so there are no surprises mid-job.
Any notifiable electrical work under Part P of the Building Regulations, including new circuits to kitchens, bathrooms, and outbuildings, must be certified and notified to building control. As a NAPIT-registered contractor, we self-certify and handle the notification automatically, so you receive a building regulations compliance certificate with every qualifying job.
FAQs
Lichfield questions.
How much does a consumer unit upgrade cost in Lichfield?
We do not publish prices because every consumer unit replacement depends on the size of the existing installation, the number of circuits, the condition of the incoming meter tails, and whether any remedial work is needed before the new board can be commissioned safely. All of that is assessed during a free survey. After the survey you receive a written, itemised quote with a fixed price. There are no call-out fees and no hidden additions. Call 01527 337155 or use our online form to arrange your free survey.
Do I need an EICR if I'm a landlord in Lichfield?
Yes. Current legislation requires landlords in England to have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report for every rented property. The report must be carried out by a qualified person, and a copy must be provided to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection and to new tenants before they move in. We produce EICR certificates across Lichfield and the surrounding WS13 and WS14 postcode areas. The report is coded clearly so you know exactly what, if anything, needs remedial work. Contact us to arrange a convenient inspection time.
How long does a full house rewire take in a Lichfield property?
Duration depends on the size and layout of the property. A typical three-bedroom semi on one of Lichfield's 1970s or 1980s estates will usually take between two and four days for a full rewire, including first and second fix and final testing. Older properties with solid walls or original lath-and-plaster ceilings take longer because routing cables is more involved and making good takes more time. We give you a realistic programme as part of the written quote so you can plan accordingly. We do not rush to free up the diary at your expense.
Will a rewire or consumer unit upgrade damage my décor?
Some disruption is unavoidable. New cable runs require chasing into plasterwork or lifting floorboards, and sockets and switches leave small patches that need filling and repainting. We work as neatly as possible, protect floors and furniture with dust sheets, and make good surfaces to a ready-to-decorate standard before we leave. In older Lichfield properties with lime render or original cornicing, we take particular care and discuss the best cable route with you before cutting anything. If you want full redecoration, we can recommend trusted local decorators.
Can you carry out electrical work in a listed building in Lichfield?
Yes, but listed building consent may be required before we start, depending on the extent of the work. The cathedral close and several streets in the historic centre contain listed structures where any alterations to the fabric need consent from Lichfield District Council. We identify this requirement during the survey and advise you on what to apply for. We do not start notifiable work in a listed building without the correct consent in place, because doing so creates a legal liability for you as the owner. We are experienced in working carefully within older buildings and know how to minimise intervention.
Do you install EV chargers and solar at the same time as electrical work in Lichfield?
Yes, and combining jobs is often the most sensible approach. Many properties on Boley Park, Curborough, and Streethay have consumer units that need upgrading before an EV charger or solar installation can be added safely. Doing the consumer unit upgrade and the EV charger or solar installation in a single visit reduces the number of days your home is disrupted and means one set of building regulations notifications rather than several. We are both NAPIT-registered for electrical work and MCS-certified for solar, so we handle the whole project in-house. Ask us to quote for all elements at the same survey.
