What we do in Tamworth
Within our standard Staffordshire coverage, for domestic electrical work, groundworks and building projects.
Tamworth is part of our normal coverage
Tamworth sits east of our Burntwood base, a straightforward run out past Lichfield. It is inside the area we cover as standard rather than an exception we make, and we work there often enough to know the estates and the kind of wiring and ground conditions they hold.
For you, that means we will come and look at the job. Rewires, board changes and groundworks all behave differently depending on what is already there, and a visit is the only way to price them honestly.
The housing stock we deal with in Tamworth
Tamworth expanded enormously through the 1960s and 1970s as an overspill town, and that era dominates its housing: large estates at Glascote, Amington, Belgrave, Stonydelph and Wilnecote, built quickly and in volume. Electrically, those houses are now at the age where the original installation has been added to repeatedly, extra sockets, showers, garage supplies, often without the board or the main earthing being reassessed. Consumer unit upgrades and partial rewires make up a large share of our Tamworth work for exactly that reason.
Around that are the older central streets near the castle and church, the villages on the edges, and steady new development, which brings the other half of the calls: charge points, garden room supplies, outside power, and air conditioning in loft conversions and glazed extensions.
What we get asked for most
Fuse board upgrades, fault finding on circuits that trip, EICRs for landlords and sales, partial and full rewires, EV charger installations and additional circuits. On groundworks: extension and garden room foundations, drainage connections, 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.

Local conditions
What comes up in Tamworth
Property age, ground conditions and drainage here shape what we find when we open a board or dig a trench.
1960s and 1970s estate wiring at end of life
Installations from Tamworth's big expansion years are now around 50 to 60 years old. Cable insulation hardens, accessories wear, and the board was never designed for a modern kitchen plus a shower plus a car charger. This is the single most common issue we find here, and it is usually solved by a board change plus targeted circuit work rather than a full rewire.
Garage and outbuilding supplies
Estate houses in Tamworth often have detached or block-built garages with a supply run out to them years ago in unsuitable cable at no real depth. Those runs fail, and while they are failing they are dangerous. Replacing with correctly sized armoured cable and its own protection is a day's work that removes a real risk.
Ground and drainage on estate plots
Fast-built estates mean shallow services in unexpected places and made-up garden levels. Before we dig foundations or a drain run we establish what is down there, because hitting an unmarked service is a bad day for everybody.
River valley drainage
With the Tame and Anker running through the town, surface water management matters on lower-lying plots. New hard standing should be draining somewhere that can accept it, not simply shedding towards the house or the neighbour.
Our process
How a job in Tamworth 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.

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
Tamworth: questions we get asked
Coverage, response times, cost and availability, answered as plainly as we can.
Do you cover Tamworth?
Yes. Tamworth and the surrounding areas: Glascote, Amington, Wilnecote, Stonydelph, Belgrave, are within our standard coverage.
How quickly can you get to Tamworth?
It is a straightforward run from Burntwood, so we can usually arrange to come and look at a job within days and book the work in from there.
What does a fuse board upgrade cost in Tamworth?
We price by the job rather than publishing figures, because the price depends on the board, the circuits behind it and what testing finds. You get a price for your property before any work starts.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
We work 8am–6pm Monday to Friday, with occasional weekend work, and we are not a 24-hour service. If something is dangerous outside those hours, isolate it at the board and call an emergency electrician, or 105 for a supply fault.
Can you rewire a house while we live in it?
Yes, and in occupied houses we usually work room by room so you keep power and hot water. It takes a little longer but it is far easier to live with.
Do you do EICRs for Tamworth landlords?
Yes, with a report that explains what each observation means and what remedial work would actually involve.
Can you install an EV charger in Tamworth?
Yes. We check the supply and earthing, agree the position for how you park, and install on a dedicated circuit with the right protection.
Do you take on groundworks in Tamworth?
Yes, foundations, drainage, slabs, sub-bases and muck-away, with trial holes first where the ground is unknown.
Is your work insured and certificated?
Insured to £5m public liability and £10m employers' liability, with £250,000 professional indemnity, and electrical work tested and certificated.
Why do older reviews mention Stretton Electrical?
That was the trading name of the electrical side before Stret Limited. Same person, same standards.
