Post-war and ex-local-authority housing
Much of the housing across Rugeley and Hednesford went up between the 1930s and the 1970s, a lot of it built for people working the Cannock Chase coalfield. Property of that age and type has a fairly predictable set of electrical issues.
- Original consumer units long past replacement, often with rewireable fuses or early MCBs and no RCD protection
- Undersized or perished meter tails
- Missing or incomplete main protective bonding to gas and water
- Rubber-insulated cable still in circuit, which becomes brittle and unsafe with age
- Immersion heater and electric shower circuits added later without adequate protection
- Kitchen and bathroom alterations wired before current zoning rules
An Electrical Installation Condition Report establishes which of these you actually have, and what needs doing about it. It is not a sales exercise: a lot of installations of this age are perfectly serviceable with a consumer unit change and some bonding. Domestic EICRs from £220 + VAT.
Solar panels and battery storage in Rugeley and Hednesford
We are electricians first and a solar installer second, which matters more than it sounds: the inverter, the battery, the consumer unit and any EV charger are designed together and installed by the same NAPIT-registered team, not bolted on afterwards. G98/G99 DNO paperwork is handled for you.
Put your Rugeley and Hednesford postcode into our design tool and you get a system size, an indicative price and the expected annual output for your actual roof in about two minutes — no sales visit needed to see the numbers.
Landlords
If you let property in Rugeley or Hednesford you are legally required to have an EICR carried out at least every five years and at the start of any new tenancy, to give a copy to your tenants, and to complete any C1, C2 or FI remedial work within 28 days.
Solar and battery storage
A good proportion of the housing here is post-war semi-detached and terraced with simple, unshaded, south or west facing roofs, which is close to ideal for solar. We quote after a survey rather than off a postcode, because the roof and what you want the system to do determine the cost.

Consumer unit changes, showers and small repairs
A large part of what we do day to day is not big projects. Consumer unit replacements are probably our single most common job, and we carry out a steady stream of them across Cannock and the surrounding towns. Replacing an old fuse board with a modern unit with RCD or RCBO protection is usually the single biggest improvement you can make to an older installation.
We also cover reactive work and small repairs, including:
Electric shower installation and replacement
Shower pull cord switch repairs and replacement
Consumer unit and fuse board replacement
Sockets, switches and light fittings that have failed
Tripping circuits and intermittent faults
Extractor fans, outdoor lights and garden power
Pull cord switches and electric showers are two of the most common things to fail in a domestic property, and both are jobs where people are often told they need far more work than they actually do. If it is a switch, we will replace the switch.
