What we do in Hednesford
Covered as standard alongside Cannock and Rugeley in our central Staffordshire area.
Part of the central Staffordshire run
Hednesford is on the same route we take most weeks out of Burntwood towards Cannock and Rugeley. That keeps it inside our normal working area, so a job here does not mean a special journey and we can come and look before quoting.
Being in the area regularly also helps with the awkward middle-sized jobs, a board change plus a few circuits, or a drain run plus a slab, which are hard to fit in for a firm travelling any distance, but straightforward when we are passing anyway.
Property types in Hednesford
Hednesford grew as a mining town, and its housing shows it: rows of Victorian and Edwardian terraces built for colliery workers, large areas of inter-war and post-war semis including ex-local-authority stock, and newer development on reclaimed ground towards the Chase. The terraces are where we find the oldest installations, rubber cable, no earths on lighting, boards with rewireable fuses, and the mid-century housing is where a consumer unit upgrade plus some circuit work usually solves the problem without a full rewire.
Near the edge of Cannock Chase, plots start to include outbuildings, workshops, stables and larger gardens, which brings armoured supply runs, outside lighting and garden building power into the mix.
What we get called for in Hednesford
Consumer unit upgrades, EICRs for landlords and house sales, partial and full rewires in older terraces, fault finding on circuits that trip, outbuilding and garden room supplies, EV chargers, and extra sockets and lighting. Groundworks: extension and garden room foundations, drainage and soakaways, slabs, driveway sub-bases and muck-away.
We work out from 88B Springhill Road, Burntwood, Staffordshire, WS7 4UJ. Whatever the trade, the same things apply: the company is NAPIT registered and F-Gas certified, Sam holds City & Guilds 2391 and the 18th Edition, every other operative holds a CSCS or ECS card, and the work carries a 1-year guarantee on all work. More about how we work.

Why us here
Why customers in Hednesford use us
No invented statistics, just what we can stand behind.
In the area weekly
Hednesford is on our regular central Staffordshire route from Burntwood, which makes surveys and smaller jobs practical.
Both trades in one firm
Electrical work and groundworks are both primary for us, so an extension can have the dig, the drains and the wiring from the same company.
16 years and current tickets
NAPIT registered, F-Gas certified, City & Guilds 2391, 18th Edition, Gold ECS card, CSCS or ECS carded team.
Insured and guaranteed
£5m public liability, £10m employers' liability, £250,000 professional indemnity, and a 1-year guarantee on the work.
Local conditions
What comes up in Hednesford
Property age, ground conditions and drainage here shape what we find when we open a board or dig a trench.
Colliery-era ground
Hednesford sits on the old coalfield, and made ground, buried spoil and old foundations turn up in gardens here regularly. We dig trial holes before quoting deep work so the price reflects the ground rather than an assumption about it.
Terraced housing with original wiring
In the older terraces it is still common to find rubber-insulated cable and lighting circuits without earths. Those installations were fine when fitted; they are not now, and the only way to know how much is salvageable is to test it.
Water coming off the Chase
Ground rising towards Cannock Chase sheds water onto the lower plots below. Driveways, patios and extensions need levels and a real outlet designed in, otherwise heavy rain finds the lowest point, which is often a doorway or an air brick.
Workshops and stables on old supplies
On the rural edges, outbuildings are often fed by cable laid years ago at shallow depth with no dedicated protection. Replacing it with correctly sized armoured cable on its own circuit is a short job that removes a standing risk.
Our process
How a job in Hednesford runs
The same sequence every time, so you know what happens next and when.
01
You call or send details
Phone Sam on 07812 971397 or send the job through the form. Tell us the address, what the problem or plan is, and when you need it done.
02
We look at the job
For anything beyond a small repair we come and look. Guessing at a price from a description helps nobody, and a site visit catches the things a photo hides.
03
You get a price for your job
We work on day rates that vary with the operatives and plant a job needs, so you get a price for your actual job rather than a published figure that never fits.
04
Booked in and carried out
We agree a start date, turn up when we said, and keep you told if anything on site changes what we found.
05
Certified, tidied, guaranteed
Electrical work is tested and certificated, the site is cleared, and the work carries a 1-year guarantee. If something isn't right, you call us and we come back.
What customers say
Reviews from the electrical side of the business
Every review below was left for electrical work carried out as Stretton Electrical. We use them as proof of how we work, not as evidence of groundworks, aircon or building jobs.
“Done a full rewire and remodelling of my humble home and co-ordinated with other trades marvellously to pull it together.”
“I've used Stretton Electrical twice now and have been really pleased with the work. On both occasions the job was neat and the area left tidy.”
“Sam was great. He came as soon as possible and identified the issue immediately. He fixed it promptly and went above and beyond.”

Straight answers
Hednesford: questions we get asked
Coverage, response times, cost and availability, answered as plainly as we can.
Do you cover Hednesford?
Yes, as standard, it sits in the central Staffordshire area we cover alongside Cannock and Rugeley.
How fast can you get to Hednesford?
It is on a route we take most weeks, so usually within days for a survey, and smaller jobs can often be booked in soon after.
What does work in Hednesford cost?
We price by the job. Day rates vary with the operatives and plant needed, so you get a price for your job instead of a published figure that may not fit.
Do you do emergency electrical work here?
Our hours are 8am–6pm Monday to Friday, with occasional weekends, and we are not a 24-hour call-out service. Isolate anything dangerous at the board and call an emergency electrician, or 105 for a supply fault.
Can you rewire an older terrace?
Yes, and we will tell you after testing whether the whole installation needs doing or only part of it. Working room by room keeps the house liveable while we do it.
Do you do EICRs for landlords in Hednesford?
Regularly, with reports that explain what is satisfactory, what is coded and why, and what remedial work involves.
Can you supply a workshop or stable?
Yes, armoured cable sized for the run, buried properly, with its own protection and a small board where needed.
Do you dig foundations on old mining ground?
Yes, and we trial-hole first so the depth we quote is based on what is actually under the garden.
Are you insured?
£5m public liability, £10m employers' liability and £250,000 professional indemnity.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a 1-year guarantee, and electrical work is tested and certificated.
