Our Story: Three Decades Powering Birmingham's Homes and Businesses
When we started The Electrical Folks in 1993, Birmingham was a different place, but our commitment to transparent service has never wavered. What began as a small local operation has grown into the West Midlands' most trusted electrical company, serving 3407 satisfied customers with a 4.9-star rating. We've tackled everything from emergency residential repairs to complex commercial projects like rescuing Yorks Cafe's troubled Paradise Circus installation when others walked away. Through economic shifts and industry changes, we've stayed rooted in our founding principle: you deserve straightforward answers, fair pricing, and work done right the first time. That's the Birmingham way, and it's our way too.
Qualified Electrical Professionals Serving Birmingham with Excellence
You're not getting apprentices learning on your property. Every electrician on our team holds full 18th Edition qualifications, and our Principal Duty Holder has earned the advanced C&G 2391 certification. We've trained over 10 apprentices through partnerships with local colleges, giving back to Birmingham's next generation whilst maintaining our high standards. Each team member is licensed, insured, drug-tested, and background-checked before they ever knock on your door. What drives us? Knowing that when Windrush Housing, Birmingham City Council, or families across the West Midlands need electrical work, they trust us to protect what matters most: their safety, their time, and their investment.
