“Had them install an EV charger for my new Tesla and honestly the whole process was seamless. Arrived on time, finished in about three hours, and even tidied up better than they found it. The electrician explained exactly how the unit works and sorted the app setup too.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and how we can help you
How much does it cost to hire an electrician in Birmingham?
Most electrical jobs in Birmingham range from £80 for simple socket repairs to £3,500+ for full rewires, depending on complexity and property size. You'll only pay after we've diagnosed the actual problem—no charges for guesswork. We provide transparent, itemized quotes before starting any work, and because we carry 90% of parts on our vans, you avoid inflated emergency pricing or multiple callout fees.
What qualifications should a proper electrician have?
Your electrician should hold 18th edition qualifications as a minimum, with NICEIC approval for added assurance. Our team are all fully qualified electricians, with our Principal Duty Holder holding the advanced C&G 2391 inspection and testing qualification. We're NICEIC Approved Contractors, registered with City & Guilds, and CheckATrade approved—credentials that protect you legally and ensure your insurance remains valid.
How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies?
We reply to new enquiries within five minutes and offer 24/7 emergency response when power failures or dangerous faults occur. Most customers get a same-day or next-morning visit, and because our vans stock 90% of commonly needed parts, we typically complete repairs in one visit rather than leaving you without power whilst waiting for components to arrive.
Do you provide electrical certificates after completing work?
Absolutely—you receive full electrical certificates, installation records, and compliance documentation for every job that requires it. This paperwork satisfies building regulations, protects your insurance validity, and provides essential proof when you sell your property. We've completed work for Birmingham City Council and Windrush Housing, so our documentation standards meet the most rigorous requirements.
What's included in your free electrical safety inspection?
Every service includes a complimentary mini inspection of your consumer unit, RCDs, GFCIs, and smoke alarms to ensure they meet current safety codes. We use professional testing equipment to identify potential hazards before they become expensive emergencies. Previous customers have told us this inspection caught dangerous issues left by previous contractors that could have caused fires or invalidated their insurance.
Can you install EV chargers for all vehicle types?
Yes, we're the exclusive installation partner for Kentures EV chargers across the entire West Midlands, covering all major vehicle brands including Tesla, BMW, Audi, and Nissan. We handle everything from initial assessment and electrical capacity checks to final installation, app setup, and certification. Most installations complete within three to four hours, and you'll receive full documentation for your records and any government grant claims.
How long does a typical electrical repair take?
Simple repairs like socket replacements or circuit breaker changes typically take one to two hours, whilst consumer unit upgrades need three to five hours. Full kitchen rewires take two to three days, and complete house rewires require one to two weeks depending on property size. We complete most jobs in a single visit because our vans carry the parts needed, avoiding frustrating delays waiting for components.
Why do electrical certificates matter for my property?
Electrical certificates prove your installation meets legal safety standards, which protects your insurance coverage and is often required when selling or renting property. Without proper certification, insurers can refuse fire damage claims, mortgage lenders may decline applications, and you could face legal issues as a landlord. We provide immaculate documentation that building control inspectors have specifically commented on.
Do you cover all areas of Birmingham for electrical work?
We serve the entire Birmingham area and wider West Midlands, from Moseley and Edgbaston to city centre locations like Paradise Circus. We've completed projects for Birmingham City Council, local businesses, and residential properties across all postcodes. Our five-minute response time applies regardless of your location within our service area, and we don't charge inflated travel fees for different neighbourhoods.
What happens if you find additional problems during a job?
We'll show you the issue using our testing equipment, explain why it's a concern, and provide clear options with itemized pricing before doing any additional work. You decide what gets fixed—there's no pressure or surprise charges. Many customers appreciate that our free mini inspection catches dangerous problems early, like the outdated smoke alarms and faulty circuits we've identified that previous electricians completely missed.
How do I know if my electrical system needs upgrading?
Signs include frequently tripping circuit breakers, flickering lights, burning smells, outdated fuse boxes, or lack of RCD protection. Properties built before 2000 often need consumer unit upgrades to meet current 18th edition regulations. If you're adding high-power appliances like EV chargers or planning renovations, your existing system may lack sufficient capacity. We'll assess your setup and explain whether upgrades are necessary or optional.
What makes your service different from other electricians?
You only pay after we've diagnosed the real problem, not for guesswork. We've served over 3,400 customers since 1993 with a 4.9 rating, completing challenging projects like the Yorks Cafe emergency commercial fit-out that other Birmingham contractors refused. Our exclusive partnerships with Kentures and HS Kitchens mean we handle specialist work others can't, and our five-minute response time with same-visit completion sets us apart from competitors who leave jobs half-finished.
