Willenhall homes and what they usually need
Willenhall grew up around the lock and key trade, and a lot of the older housing near the town centre dates from that time: Victorian and early 20th-century terraces that have been rewired in stages, extended at the back and altered by different people over the years. On houses like these, an EICR often turns up circuits extended into extensions without RCD protection, old cable left in place, and fuse boards that have been added to rather than replaced.
Further out, around Short Heath, New Invention and Lane Head, there’s a lot of inter-war and post-war housing. Many of these homes are on their second or third consumer unit, and some still have an older board with no RCD protection. An upgrade is usually the most worthwhile safety improvement on a house like this.
Newer homes need less remedial work, but more additions: EV chargers, power to garages and garden offices, and outdoor lighting.
Landlords in Willenhall
There’s plenty of rented housing in Willenhall, and the rules are clear: an EICR is a legal requirement every 5 years for privately rented homes in England. We can arrange access with your tenant, the report is issued within 3 working days, and any remedial work is quoted separately with the code beside each item. That way you can see what has to be done and what’s only recommended.
Electrical work for Willenhall businesses
Willenhall still has a lot of industry: workshops, factory units and trade counters, as well as the shops in the town centre. For businesses we carry out:
- Commercial EICRs, priced on the number of distribution boards and circuits
- Remedial work following an EICR, whether it’s ours or someone else’s
- Emergency lighting installation and testing
- LED lighting upgrades in workshops and units
- Fault finding on tripping or intermittent circuits
- Workplace EV charge points
Where circuits can’t be switched off during working hours, we’ll agree the timing with you before we start. See our commercial EICR page for more.

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.
