Electrician in Birmingham

Birmingham is the second area Shafick Electrical Solutions works across regularly, alongside the home patch in Wolverhampton. The work tends to sit at the larger end: extensions, refurbishments, loft conversions and whole-property rewires, simply because that is what people tend to book an electrician from outside their immediate postcode for.

One of the reviews on this site is from a Birmingham customer whose extractor fans were replaced and rewired, with each step explained as the job went along. That is the standard approach: tell the customer what is being done and why, rather than leaving them to find out from the invoice.

The kind of work booked in Birmingham

• Extension and loft conversion wiring. First and second fix worked in around the builder's programme, tested and certified at handover.
• Whole-house rewires in older terraced and semi-detached stock, particularly where a property has just changed hands.
• Consumer unit upgrades bringing older boards up to current standards with RCBO protection.
• Kitchen and bathroom refits, working alongside the fitter at first and second fix.
• Lighting schemes for renovated period properties: downlights, feature pendants and layered switching.

Working across the city

Because Birmingham is a distance from base rather than on the doorstep, jobs there are planned properly rather than squeezed in. Larger installations are booked as consecutive days so the work runs continuously and the property is not left half finished between visits. For a small single job it is always worth asking. It often comes down to what else is already in the diary that week.

Certification and Building Regulations

Every installation is tested and certified, and notifiable work is registered under Part P through NICEIC. For a Birmingham property being sold, extended or let, that paperwork is what a solicitor, surveyor or letting agent will ask for, so it is issued as a matter of course rather than on request.
