Domestic Electrician in Tamworth
Free written quotes, NAPIT-registered work, and full insurance cover for every job across Tamworth and the surrounding area.
Tamworth's mix of post-war overspill estates, 1960s and 1970s semis, and newer builds means the range of electrical work we see here is broad. Older properties often have ageing consumer units, original wiring, or a patchwork of DIY additions built up over decades. Newer homes need extra sockets, EV charging points, and smart lighting circuits. Whatever your situation, we carry out the full scope of domestic electrical work, from a straightforward additional socket to a complete house rewire, all to current Part P building regulations.
We are NAPIT-registered and every job is fully insured. That matters because unregistered electrical work cannot be certified, which creates problems when you sell or remortgage. We issue all relevant certificates as standard, we notify building control on your behalf where required, and we leave you with paperwork that satisfies any solicitor or mortgage lender. No shortcuts, no informal cash jobs, no vague verbal sign-offs.
What's included
Every Tamworth job includes.
A pre-work walkthrough of your property where we agree exact scope, identify any access requirements, and flag anything that may affect the job before a single cable is touched.
Full or partial rewire carried out to BS 7671 (18th Edition Wiring Regulations), with all new cabling, back-boxes, and accessories fitted and tested before sign-off.
Consumer unit upgrade or fuse box replacement using a metal-enclosure unit with RCD or RCBO protection on every circuit, satisfying current regulation requirements and providing better fault protection.
EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) for landlords and homeowners, with a written report grading every circuit, a clear list of any remedial work required, and a certificate you can hand to a letting agent or solicitor.
Fault-finding service where we use calibrated test equipment to locate the source of a trip, dead circuit, or intermittent fault, explain the cause in plain English, and repair it on the same visit where possible.
Additional sockets, USB outlets, and lighting circuits added to your existing installation neatly, with matching accessories, proper back-boxes chased into plaster, and a minor-works certificate issued on completion.
Local knowledge
Electrician in Tamworth.
Tamworth grew rapidly as a Birmingham overspill town from the late 1950s onward, and large estates such as Glascote, Dosthill, Belgrave, and Wilnecote were built quickly to house that population. Properties on these estates are broadly similar in construction: cavity-brick walls, pitched roofs, and electrical installations that were standard for their era but are now approaching or past the 50-year mark. Many of these homes have never had a full rewire, and the consumer units fitted during original construction are now well outside current regulation guidance. If your property was built between 1955 and 1980 and has not had a rewire, it is worth having an EICR to understand the condition of the installation before problems develop.
Tamworth also has a significant private rental sector, particularly across the B77 and B79 postcode areas. Landlord EICR certificates are now a legal requirement for all private rented properties in England, and certificates must be renewed every five years or at each change of tenancy. We carry out a large number of landlord EICRs across the area and can handle any C1 or C2 remedial work identified in the report under the same visit or a closely booked follow-up, keeping your compliance timeline clean.
The town has seen considerable new-build development along its northern and eastern edges in recent years, and these properties tend to have compliant consumer units but a shortage of sockets and limited provision for EV charging or home-office circuits. Tamworth also sits in a low-flood-risk area for most residential streets, so underground cable routes and external circuits generally do not carry the same complications you might find closer to river corridors. Conservation area restrictions are limited to the historic town centre around the castle; most residential streets face no additional planning constraints for electrical work.
Why Tamworth
Why Tamworth chooses us.
Tamworth homeowners and landlords choose us because we are NAPIT-registered, issue proper certification, and give a written quote before any work begins.
NAPIT registration means every piece of domestic electrical work we carry out is independently recognised, certified, and notified to building control where required. You receive paperwork that holds up when you sell, remortgage, or renew a tenancy.
We are fully insured for domestic electrical work. Before we step onto your property, both the job and your home are covered. We will tell you the nature of our cover when you ask, and we never start work without it in place.
Every quote is free, written, and itemised. We survey the property first, explain what we have found, and set out the full scope in writing before you commit. No ballpark figures over the phone, no surprise additions on the invoice.
We carry out remedial work identified during EICRs ourselves, under the same contractor relationship, which means you are not left managing a chain of subcontractors to achieve a satisfactory certificate. One point of contact from inspection to sign-off.
We cover the Tamworth area regularly, travelling via the M42 and A5 from our Beoley base, so availability is genuine rather than stretched. We keep our booking schedule realistic so jobs are done properly rather than rushed.
How it works
From enquiry to job done.
- 01Postcode check
Enter your Tamworth postcode on our website or call 01527 337155 and we will confirm within minutes that your address falls within our coverage area. B77 and B79 postcodes are firmly in our regular working patch.
- 02Free survey
We visit the property at a time that suits you, walk through the installation, discuss what you want to achieve, and identify anything that affects scope or sequencing. There is no charge for the survey and no obligation to proceed.
- 03Written quote issued
Following the survey we send a full written, itemised quote. Every element of the job is listed separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. No vague lump sums, no provisional sums that creep upward later.
- 04Date booked
Once you accept the quote, we agree a start date that works around you. We confirm the booking in writing and send a reminder before the job. If anything changes on our end, we tell you with as much notice as possible.
- 05Job done, photos sent
We complete the work, carry out all required testing, issue certificates, and notify building control where Part P requires it. We send before and after photos so you have a visual record of the installation alongside your paperwork.

Often booked together
Pairs well with.
Many Tamworth homes on post-war estates have a single-car driveway and are well suited to a home EV charger. We assess the consumer unit during the same survey, so any required upgrade is costed and completed before the charger is fitted.
Tamworth's uniform pitched-roof estates offer excellent solar orientation. Once we have upgraded a consumer unit or rewired a property, adding a solar installation is a logical next step and we handle both under our MCS and NAPIT registrations.
Homeowners adding sockets or rewiring often want data points and CCTV at the same time. Running data and camera cabling alongside electrical first-fix keeps disruption to one visit and avoids chasing plaster twice.
Worth knowing
Before you book in Tamworth.
If your property is on one of Tamworth's older overspill estates and was built before 1980, the original wiring may be PVC-insulated cable that has become brittle with age. An EICR will confirm whether a full rewire is advisable before you invest in other improvements such as EV charging or solar.
Landlords letting property in the B77 or B79 postcode areas must hold a valid EICR with a satisfactory result. If your report returns a C1 or C2 code, you are legally required to complete remedial work before a new tenancy begins. Budget for that possibility when you commission the inspection.
If you are planning to add an EV charger, additional sockets, or solar battery storage to an older Tamworth property, your existing consumer unit may need upgrading first. We will check the installation during survey and flag any prerequisite work so the final quote covers everything, with no hidden costs.
FAQs
Tamworth questions.
How long does a full house rewire take in Tamworth?
The duration depends on the size of the property and how much of the fabric needs to be disturbed to route new cabling. A typical three-bedroom semi on one of Tamworth's post-war estates generally takes two to three working days for the installation, followed by testing and certification. Larger or more complex properties take longer. We will give you a realistic programme at survey stage so you can plan around it, and we will tell you honestly if any element is likely to extend the timeline.
Do I need an EICR as a landlord in Tamworth?
Yes. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, all privately rented properties in England, including those in Tamworth, must have a valid EICR carried out by a qualified person. The certificate must show a satisfactory result and must be renewed every five years or at each change of tenancy. If the report returns a C1 or C2 observation, remedial work must be completed before a new tenancy starts. We carry out EICRs and any follow-on remedial work across the B77 and B79 postcode areas.
What is the difference between a consumer unit upgrade and a full rewire?
A consumer unit upgrade replaces only the fuseboard, fitting a modern unit with RCD or RCBO protection on every circuit. The existing cables and accessories remain. A full rewire replaces all the cables, back-boxes, sockets, switches, and light fittings throughout the property, along with the consumer unit. If your wiring dates from before the 1980s, an upgrade alone may not be sufficient. We carry out an EICR first to assess the condition of the whole installation, then recommend the appropriate scope. There is no charge for the survey.
Will you leave a mess after chasing cables into the walls?
Chasing is unavoidable for a proper installation, but we keep it to the minimum required and protect floors and furniture before we start. We fill all chases with bonding compound before we leave so the surface is ready for a plasterer or decorator. We do not provide plastering or decorating ourselves, but we work in a way that makes the finisher's job straightforward. We will talk through the likely extent of making-good during the survey so there are no surprises.
Can you add sockets and lighting circuits without a full rewire?
Yes, provided the existing installation is in a safe and serviceable condition. We assess the consumer unit and relevant circuits at survey stage. If the existing wiring is sound, we can add new circuits neatly, chase cables into the wall properly, fit matching accessories, and issue a minor-works certificate on completion. If the survey reveals underlying problems, we will tell you clearly and quote for any additional work separately before starting anything. All additional work is covered by a free written quote with no obligation.
Do you carry out electrical work for small businesses in Tamworth as well as homes?
Our domestic-electrics service is focused on homes and residential landlord properties in Tamworth. For commercial premises, retail units, or larger business electrical projects, we handle those under our commercial service. If you are unsure which category your project falls into, call us on 01527 337155 and we will point you in the right direction. We cover Tamworth regularly from our Redditch base and are happy to visit for a no-obligation survey regardless of the scale of the job.
Our commitment
We take on a limited number of electrical jobs each week. That is deliberate. Rushing electrical work to fill a diary leads to poor terminations, missed test results, and certificates issued without proper checks. Every job we book gets the same methodical approach: survey, quote, installation, full testing, certification. If our diary means a short wait, that wait is worth it for work you can rely on.
