What we do in Walsall
Part of our West Midlands coverage, with plenty of older housing stock where rewires and condition reports come up often.
Walsall is part of our West Midlands area
From Burntwood we run south into the West Midlands as a matter of routine, and Walsall is the main town in that half of our coverage. It is a short enough journey that we will come and survey a job properly before quoting, which for older Walsall property is not optional, the difference between a partial and a full rewire is only visible once you have tested the installation.
We work for homeowners, landlords and small commercial premises here. Walsall has a large private rental sector, and a significant part of our work in the borough is EICRs and the remedial work that follows them.
The housing stock we work on
Walsall's housing runs from dense Victorian terraces in and around the town centre, through large inter-war and post-war estates, to newer development on former industrial land. The Victorian and Edwardian stock is where we find the oldest installations: original lighting circuits fed without earths, rubber cable, fuse boards that pre-date RCDs entirely, and sockets added wherever a cable could be reached. It is also where solid walls, cellars and suspended floors dictate how a rewire is actually carried out.
The mid-century stock usually needs less: a modern board, main bonding brought up to standard, and the worn or overloaded circuits dealt with. Newer housing brings the additions work, charge points, outside power, garden offices, and air conditioning where rooms overheat.
Common jobs in Walsall
EICRs and remedial work, consumer unit upgrades, full and partial rewires, fault finding, landlord compliance work between tenancies, EV charger installations, and additional circuits. Groundworks in Walsall is mostly extension and garden room foundations, drainage connections, slabs, driveway sub-bases and muck-away on tight urban plots.
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 Walsall
Property age, ground conditions and drainage here shape what we find when we open a board or dig a trench.
Victorian terraces with original installations
In older Walsall housing we regularly find lighting circuits with no earth at the switch, cable insulation that fails an insulation resistance test, and boards with rewireable fuses. None of it is a reason to panic, but it is a reason to test before you spend money on decoration you will then have to disturb.
Converted and subdivided property
Houses split into flats and HMOs are common here, and conversions done cheaply often share circuits between units, leave no clear means of isolation, and fail fire-detection requirements. An EICR on that kind of property needs doing properly, and the remedial list is usually about separation and protection rather than replacing everything.
Former industrial land
Walsall's development history means garden and extension digs can hit made ground, old slabs, foundations and buried services. We trial-hole before pricing foundation depths so the number we give you is based on what is there.
Tight access on urban plots
Terraced and inner-suburban plots often have no vehicle access to the rear. That decides whether a mini digger can get in, how spoil leaves site, and how long the job takes, all better established before a start date than on the first morning.
Our process

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.”

It is a short run south from Burntwood. We can normally arrange to look at a job within days, then book the work in.

Yes, regularly. EICRs, remedial work, board changes and repairs between tenancies, with reports that explain the codes rather than just listing them.

We work 8am–6pm Monday to Friday, with occasional weekend work, and are not a 24-hour service. If something is dangerous, isolate it at the board and call an emergency electrician, or 105 for a supply fault.
Can you work on an HMO or converted flats?
Yes. Those jobs usually need circuits properly separated, isolation made clear and detection brought up to standard, we will set out what is needed and in what order.

Are you insured?
£5m public liability, £10m employers' liability and £250,000 professional indemnity, with certificates available for agents or main contractors.
