Domestic Electrical Services in Redditch
Free written quotes, fully insured, NAPIT-registered, with most Redditch jobs booked within two weeks of your survey.
Redditch is our home town. Our workshop in Beoley is around ten minutes from the town centre, which means we can survey your property quickly, turn quotes around fast, and get the job done without the delays you often see from contractors travelling in from Birmingham or Worcester. Whether your house needs a full rewire, a consumer unit upgrade, an EICR for a tenancy, or just a few extra sockets in the right places, we handle it ourselves from first visit to sign-off.
What sets us apart is straightforward: we are NAPIT-registered, which means our work is independently inspected and certificated to the current wiring regulations. We do not subcontract. The qualified electrician who surveys your property is the same person who does the work and signs the certificate. Every quote is free, written, and itemised so you know exactly what is included before we start.

What's included
Every Redditch job includes.
A pre-work walk-around with you to agree the full scope, including which circuits are affected, where cables will run, and how we will make good any surface finishes afterwards, so nothing comes as a surprise on the day.
Full or partial rewire carried out to BS 7671 18th Edition wiring regulations, with all new cabling, back-boxes, and accessories fitted to a consistent finish and tested thoroughly before any circuits are energised.
Consumer unit (fuse box) replacement with a modern dual-RCD or RCBO board, giving you independent protection on every circuit and meeting current building-regulations requirements for notification and inspection.
Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for landlords or homeowners, covering a full visual inspection and test of every circuit, with a clear written report showing any code-1, code-2, or advisory findings.
Fault-finding on any circuit in the property, using calibrated test equipment to trace the exact cause rather than guessing and replacing components, with a clear explanation of what we found and what we did.
Additional sockets, USB outlets, lighting circuits, and outdoor power points installed and certified, with cables routed neatly and surface finishes made good before we leave.
Local knowledge
Domestic Electrical Services in Redditch.
Redditch was developed rapidly as a New Town from the late 1960s onward, and a large proportion of the housing stock dates from that era. Properties in areas such as Matchborough, Winyates, Woodrow, and Batchley were built to the electrical standards of their time, which typically means a wired-in consumer unit with rewireable fuses, single-skin plastic cabling, and a ring-main layout that has been added to incrementally over the decades. After fifty-plus years, that wiring is increasingly at the end of its safe service life. An EICR on one of these properties will very often flag code-2 observations around the fuse board and potentially code-1 defects on older circuits that have been extended without proper testing. A consumer unit upgrade is the minimum most owners of these homes should consider; in many cases a partial or full rewire is the more sensible long-term investment.
The town also has older pockets of housing. The area around the town centre and parts of Headless Cross, Astwood Bank, and Webheath include Victorian and Edwardian terraces as well as 1930s semis, some of which still carry rubber-insulated or aluminium wiring from previous decades. These present a different set of challenges: aluminium conductors require specific termination techniques, and older insulation becomes brittle and unsafe long before the cables physically fail. Identifying these issues requires proper testing rather than a visual inspection alone, which is why we always use calibrated equipment rather than relying on what a cable looks like on the surface.
For landlords in Redditch, the requirement for a valid EICR every five years is now firmly enforced. The town has a significant private rented sector, and we work with local landlords to schedule inspections and remedial works efficiently. Because we are based locally, we can often arrange access with tenants directly and keep disruption to a minimum. If remedial work is needed following an unsatisfactory EICR, we can quote for that at the same time and carry it out ourselves rather than leaving you to find a second contractor.
Worth knowing
Before you book in Redditch.
If your Redditch home was built in the 1970s new-town phase, the consumer unit is likely more than fifty years old and may contain rewireable fuses rather than modern circuit breakers. Building regulations require notification to your local authority when a consumer unit is replaced, which we handle as part of the job.
Landlords letting property in Redditch must hold a valid EICR issued by a qualified electrician. The report must be no more than five years old and must be provided to new tenants before they move in. If the report is unsatisfactory, remedial work must be completed and a new report issued within 28 days.
Older properties in Headless Cross, Astwood Bank, and the town-centre conservation fringe may have aluminium wiring or rubber-insulated cables. These require specific test procedures and, in the case of aluminium, specialist termination methods. Always confirm the cable type with your electrician before agreeing a scope of work.
Why Redditch
Why Redditch chooses us.
Redditch homeowners and landlords choose us because we are genuinely local, fully qualified, and transparent about what the work involves and what it will cost.
We are NAPIT-registered, so every piece of notifiable electrical work we carry out is independently certified and compliant with the 18th Edition wiring regulations. Your building control notification is handled by us as part of the job, not an afterthought.
We are based in Beoley, ten minutes from Redditch town centre. That means we can survey your property quickly, respond to urgent fault calls faster than contractors travelling from further away, and complete most jobs within two weeks of the initial survey.
Every quote is free, written, and itemised with no hidden costs. We do not quote a low headline figure and add on extras when we are on site. You see the full scope before you commit to anything.
We carry full public-liability and employer's-liability insurance, so your property and our operatives are covered throughout the work. You can ask to see our certificates before we start.
We do not subcontract. The qualified electrician who surveys your property does the work and signs the certificate. You deal with the same person from the first visit to the final test.
How it works
From enquiry to job done.
- 01Postcode check
Enter your Redditch postcode on our website or call 01527 337155. We confirm we cover your area, which for Redditch is always yes, and ask a few brief questions about the type of work so we can send the right person to survey.
- 02Free survey
A NAPIT-registered electrician visits your property, inspects the existing installation, discusses what you need, and measures up. There is no charge for this visit and no obligation to proceed. For Redditch properties we typically offer survey slots within a few days of your call.
- 03Written quote
We send you a clear, itemised written quote covering every element of the work: materials, labour, certification, and building-control notification fees where applicable. No hidden costs. You can take as long as you need to review it.
- 04Date booked
Once you are happy with the quote, we agree a start date. Most Redditch jobs are scheduled within two weeks of the survey. We confirm the date in writing and contact you the day before to confirm access arrangements.
- 05Job done, photos sent
We complete the work, test every circuit, and issue all relevant certificates on completion. We send before and after photos of the installation and any test results so you have a full record. We leave the property clean and tidy.
Often booked together
Pairs well with.
Many Redditch homeowners booking a consumer unit upgrade also add an EV charger at the same time. Combining both jobs in a single visit saves disruption and means the board is correctly specified for the charger load from the outset.
A full rewire or consumer unit upgrade is a natural precursor to solar panel installation. Getting the board right first means the solar inverter and generation meter can be connected cleanly without revisiting the distribution equipment.
Additional cabling for CCTV cameras or structured data points is most cost-effective when done alongside other electrical work, before surfaces are made good, so both jobs share the same access and make-good work.

Our commitment
We take on a manageable number of jobs each week rather than stretching across too many sites at once. That means every job gets the time it needs: thorough testing, tidy cable runs, and certificates issued on the day rather than weeks later. For Redditch customers, our local base makes that discipline easier to maintain. We are not travelling two hours to site and rushing to finish before dark.

FAQs
Redditch questions.
How much does a consumer unit upgrade cost in Redditch?
We do not publish set prices because every property is different. The cost depends on the number of circuits, the condition of the existing wiring, whether building-control notification is needed, and how accessible the board location is. What we can tell you is that every quote is free, written, and itemised with no hidden costs. We survey your property first, then send you a clear quote covering everything before you commit. Call 01527 337155 or use our website to book a free survey.
How long does a full house rewire take in Redditch?
For a typical three-bedroom semi, a full rewire usually takes between three and five working days, depending on the size of the property, the number of circuits, and how much making-good is required to plaster or redecorate afterwards. We agree the programme with you before we start so you know what to expect. We aim to restore power to the property at the end of each working day where possible, so you are not without electricity overnight. Larger or more complex properties take longer and we will say so plainly in the quote.
Do I need an EICR as a landlord in Redditch?
Yes. The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require landlords to have a valid EICR carried out by a qualified person every five years and to provide a copy to tenants. If the report is unsatisfactory, remedial work must be completed and evidence sent to the tenant within 28 days. We carry out EICR inspections across Redditch and can quote for any remedial work identified in the same visit. Call 01527 337155 to arrange an inspection at a time that suits your tenant.
Will an EICR cause disruption to my tenants?
An EICR typically takes two to four hours for a standard domestic property, depending on the number of circuits and the condition of the installation. We need access to every room and we will need to turn circuits off briefly to carry out tests. We work with landlords to arrange access at times that minimise disruption. Because we are based locally in Beoley, we can be flexible about start times and can often accommodate early or late slots that work better for occupied tenancies. We always leave the property with the power fully restored.
My fuse box has rewireable fuses. Is that dangerous?
Rewireable fuses are not automatically dangerous, but they offer significantly less protection than modern circuit breakers and RCDs. They do not trip quickly enough to protect against electric shock, and they have no protection against earth faults, which are a leading cause of house fires. In a 1970s Redditch property, rewireable fuses are also often fifty-plus years old and may have been incorrectly rewired over the years with the wrong fuse wire. An EICR will give you an objective assessment of the risk, and a consumer unit upgrade will bring the installation up to current standards. We handle the building-control notification as part of the job.
Can you add sockets or a new lighting circuit without doing a full rewire?
Yes. Not every property needs a full rewire. If the existing wiring is in good condition and the main circuits test satisfactorily, we can add new sockets, USB outlets, outdoor power points, or a new lighting circuit as a standalone job. We will test the relevant circuits first so we know what we are connecting to. Any new circuit we add is certified and notified to building control where required. We will tell you honestly at survey stage if the condition of the existing wiring means that adding to it is not the right approach.
