What we do in Sutton Coldfield
Within our West Midlands coverage for electrical work, groundworks and building projects.
Sutton Coldfield is inside our coverage
Sutton Coldfield sits at the southern end of the area we cover from Burntwood, reached easily via Brownhills and Aldridge or across from Lichfield. We work there regularly enough to know how different its housing is from the towns immediately around it, bigger properties, longer cable runs, larger plots and more involved projects.
That changes how a job is priced and planned. A rewire in a substantial Victorian or Edwardian house in Sutton is not the same job as a 1960s semi, and neither is the groundworks on a large garden with mature trees. We survey before quoting so you get a price for your property rather than an average.
Property types we deal with here
Sutton Coldfield has a wide spread: Victorian and Edwardian villas around the centre and Four Oaks, substantial inter-war detached housing, large 1960s–1980s family homes across Walmley, Streetly, Boldmere and Wylde Green, and newer executive development. The bigger the property, the more circuits it has, the longer the runs, and the more likely it is that several eras of wiring coexist, original, a 1970s partial rewire, and recent additions for kitchens, annexes, garden buildings and charge points.
Bigger plots also mean more outside work: annexe and outbuilding supplies, garden lighting, gate and car park power, pool and hot tub circuits, plus foundations and drainage for extensions and garden rooms.
What we are called out for
Full and partial rewires, consumer unit upgrades, often three-phase or multi-board in larger houses: EICRs, EV chargers, annexe and outbuilding supplies, garden lighting and outside power, fault finding, and air conditioning in glazed extensions and loft conversions. On the groundworks side: foundations, drainage, soakaways, slabs and driveway sub-bases, with muck-away on plots where there is nowhere to store spoil.
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.

Local conditions
What comes up in Sutton Coldfield
Property age, ground conditions and drainage here shape what we find when we open a board or dig a trench.
Several generations of wiring in one house
In large Sutton properties it is normal to find original wiring, a partial rewire from decades ago, and recent additions all live at once, sometimes on separate boards nobody has mapped. An EICR with proper circuit identification is the only sensible starting point before spending money.
Long runs and voltage drop
Annexes, garages, garden rooms and gates at the end of a long drive need cable sized for the distance and load, not for convenience. Undersized runs show up as dim lighting, tripping and heat, and they are expensive to correct after the drive is relaid.
Mature trees and root protection
Larger gardens here often have established trees, sometimes protected. Foundation design, dig depth and drain routing all have to respect roots and any TPO in place, which is a thing to establish at the planning stage, not when the digger arrives.
Older brick drainage
Period property in Sutton frequently still has sections of brick or clay drainage, with runs that are not where the plans say. We locate and check before connecting new work into them, because a new bathroom feeding into a collapsed run causes more trouble than it solves.
Our process
How a job in Sutton Coldfield runs
The same sequence every time, so you know what happens next and when.

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
Sutton Coldfield: questions we get asked
Coverage, response times, cost and availability, answered as plainly as we can.
Do you cover Sutton Coldfield?
Yes, as part of our West Midlands coverage from Burntwood, including Four Oaks, Walmley, Boldmere, Streetly and Wylde Green.
How quickly can you reach Sutton Coldfield?
It is at the southern end of our area, so normally within days for a survey. For urgent faults we will be honest on the phone about what we can do and when.
What does a rewire cost on a large Sutton property?
There is no useful published figure, a six-bedroom house with multiple boards is a different job from a three-bed semi. We survey it and price the actual work, on day rates that reflect the operatives needed.
Can you work on period property?
Yes. Cable routes, floor voids and making good get discussed before work starts, so nobody is surprised by the disruption a rewire in an older house involves.
Do you provide EICRs here?
Yes, for sales, lettings and owners, with circuits identified and a report that explains each observation in plain terms.
Can you supply an annexe or outbuilding?
Yes, with cable sized for the run and load, buried at proper depth, protected correctly and with its own board where needed.
Do you do emergency call-outs?
We work 8am–6pm Monday to Friday with occasional weekends, and are not a 24-hour service. Isolate anything dangerous at the board and call an emergency electrician, or 105 for a supply fault.
Do you take on groundworks in Sutton Coldfield?
Yes, foundations, drainage, slabs, sub-bases and muck-away, with trial holes where the ground or existing drainage is unknown.
Are you insured to work on larger projects?
£5m public liability, £10m employers' liability and £250,000 professional indemnity, with certificates available for architects or main contractors.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a 1-year guarantee on the work we carry out, and electrical work is tested and certificated.
