A look at recent jobs
Rewires, fuse boards, sockets and EV chargers across Walsall and nearby.
Landlord EICRs, fuse board upgrades, full and partial rewires, extra sockets, lighting and EV charger installation across Walsall and Bloxwich — fixed written prices, everything tested, certificate emailed the same week.
Walsall is really two electrical jobs in one borough. The terraced streets in Caldmore, Palfrey and Pleck are largely rented, which means certificates, deadlines and landlords who need the paperwork right. The estates and the outer suburbs are owner-occupied, and there it is boards, sockets and chargers. Same town, two completely different weeks.
The report, the remedials and the certificate, done as one job with a clear price. Walsall is a heavily let town and this is the work that actually has a deadline on it.
Old rewirable boards and early consumer units swapped for a modern board with RCBOs, tested and certificated. On the estate housing this is nearly always the right job rather than a rewire.
For the terraces where the cable genuinely is dated. Often it is a partial — the lighting circuit and the kitchen — rather than lifting every floor in the house.
Sockets where you actually need them, extensions and garden offices supplied properly, and an end to the extension lead running under the rug.
Supply checked first, then a tethered or untethered charger fitted and tested. Out toward Rushall and Aldridge where the driveways are.
Something tripping and nobody can say why. Found and fixed, rather than a board swapped in hope.
Bad electrics show up years later and never at a convenient moment — a breaker that trips for no reason, a socket that warms up, a wall nobody set out properly before they started. The prep is the job: a flat sound wall, the run set out from the middle, and the cuts landing where nobody looks.
Send a photo of the fuse board on WhatsApp and a note of what you want doing — that is usually enough to price it.
A fixed written price for the job — materials, testing, the certificate and making good afterwards, all in.
Installed properly, tested and certificated — the paperwork emailed to you, and the place left clean rather than dusty.
Public-liability insured, with references from regular customers you can check first.
The run is planned from the centre so cuts fall evenly and nothing awkward lands beside the door.
Testing and the certificate are in the price. No mess bags left in the hall for a fortnight.
One price for the room, agreed before we start. No day-rate creep and no "the wall was worse than we thought".
Rewires, fuse boards, sockets and EV chargers across Walsall and nearby.
The thing that shapes electrical work in Walsall is how much of it is rented. The inner wards — Caldmore, Palfrey, Pleck and the streets either side of the Arboretum — are dense Victorian and Edwardian terrace, and a large share of it is let, a good deal of that as houses in multiple occupation. That puts the landlord EICR at the centre of the job rather than at the edge of it: a report every five years, a new one at every change of tenancy in practice, and remedial work that has to be done and certified before anyone can let the place again. It is unglamorous, it is legally required, and it is the steadiest electrical work in this town. What those terraces actually throw up is fairly predictable once you have opened a few — rubber or early PVC cable still live on a lighting circuit, a lighting circuit with no earth at the roses, a rewirable fuse board that somebody has fitted a modern shower off, and sockets spurred from spurs in a back kitchen that has been extended twice. None of that is a disaster and most of it is not a full rewire either, which is the honest conversation a lot of landlords here have never been given. Move out toward Beechdale, Goscote and Mossley and it changes: post-war estate housing where the cable is generally sound and the board is simply undersized for how a house gets used now, with an electric shower, an induction hob and a garden office all hung off something specified in 1968. Further out again, in Rushall and toward Aldridge, there are driveways, and driveways mean EV chargers — where the first question is always whether the supply will carry a charger and a shower at the same time, and the honest answer is sometimes no until the main fuse is upgraded. Everything is tested, everything is priced in writing before it starts, and the certificate is emailed rather than promised.

It depends on the number of circuits rather than the size of the house, so a two-bed terrace in Caldmore is less than a four-bed with an extension. You get the price before we attend, and if remedials come out of it they are quoted separately so you can see what is required and what is merely recommended.
Usually not, and anyone who tells you otherwise without testing first is guessing. Plenty of Walsall houses have perfectly sound cable behind an outdated board, and that is a board change, not a rewire. We test before we advise, and we will say when a rewire genuinely is the answer.
Yes. There is a lot of it in the inner wards and the requirements are stricter — more frequent inspection, emergency lighting and alarm systems depending on the property. Tell us it is an HMO when you ring so what we quote is what you actually need.
Most will. What catches people out is running a 7kW charger alongside an electric shower and an induction hob on an older main fuse. We check the supply before quoting, and if it needs an upgrade that is a free application to the network operator rather than something we charge you for.
The work is usually a single visit and the certificate is emailed the same week, not eventually. If you have a tenancy starting, say so when you book and we will work to that date rather than around it.
No. You get a price for the work before anything starts, and that is what you pay.
