Wednesfield sits on the north-east edge of Wolverhampton and the wiring here splits fairly neatly. The interwar and post-war semis that fill most of the streets have usually had a board swapped at some point but rarely a full rewire, which leaves modern plastic sitting over decades-old cable. The larger estates towards Ashmore Park went up as council stock and carry their own patterns of alteration. Newer housing nearer New Cross generally tests well, though bonding and RCD coverage still produce observations. We test what is actually in the property rather than what its age suggests.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report takes in the whole fixed installation: the consumer unit, every circuit leaving it, the earthing arrangement, the main protective bonding and a representative sample of accessories. Findings are coded rather than described loosely — C1 if danger is present, C2 if the defect is potentially dangerous, C3 if it is only an improvement worth making, FI if the point cannot be settled without further investigation — and the installation ends up Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory overall. Agents, insurers, lenders and buyers’ solicitors all go to that outcome first.
You deal with Adam from the first WhatsApp message through to the certificate landing, and what is written up is what was found. Read the wider EICR service page, see what else we cover as an electrician in Wednesfield, or the same testing over in Walsall. Shops, salons and units come under commercial electrical work, and a free quote costs you nothing but a message.
Boards opened, circuits measured, defects coded, and a report written in language that makes sense.
Every way in the board is identified and traced back to what it feeds. Loose or heat-marked terminations, mismatched parts from three different manufacturers, unlabelled circuits and boards that were already obsolete when they were fitted are all recorded and coded.
We follow the main earthing conductor and the bonding runs to the gas meter, the water main and any exposed steelwork, and measure the sizes rather than take them on trust. Bonding disturbed by a kitchen refit or a bathroom rip-out is one of the most common Wednesfield findings.
A proper sample of sockets, switches and light fittings comes apart — polarity, terminal condition, signs of overheating, and any homemade alteration feeding a garage, an outbuilding or a loft conversion.
RCDs and RCBOs go on the tester and get timed. If a board has partial protection, or none at all, you are told which circuits that leaves unprotected and what the practical risk is, without any theatre about it.
The finished report lists every observation with its code and one overall outcome, ready to give to a tenant, a letting agent, an insurer or whoever is buying. We ring and walk you through it, because a coded schedule is not much use unexplained.
From your first message to the finished certificate, in four stages.
Call, WhatsApp or run the estimator. Property type and rough age gets you a price — we do not need to visit before quoting one.
A slot that works around tenants, a shift pattern at the hospital, or a business that cannot afford to lose a trading day.
We work circuit by circuit, isolating only what is being tested, and put the property back on as we go.
Report and certificate come over, followed by a call about anything coded C1, C2 or FI.
Need something other than an inspection in Wednesfield? The same electrician covers the rest, and the neighbouring towns get the same EICR service.
The things Wednesfield landlords, homeowners and businesses ask us before booking.
The cost tracks the number of circuits and consumer units, not the WV11 postcode. A two-bed flat on one board is quick; a semi with an extension, a garage feed and a second board takes longer. Give us the property details and you get a fixed price before anything starts. Ask for a free quote.
For privately rented homes in England it is. The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations set a maximum five-year interval, require the report to go to the tenant, and require a copy for the local authority on request. Wednesfield rentals are no different.
Most Wednesfield semis and terraces take two to four hours. Bigger houses, extra boards or commercial premises need longer, and we will tell you that when you book rather than after we arrive.
C1 means danger is present now. C2 means potentially dangerous, and it has to be corrected for a pass. C3 is a recommendation only. FI means we could not reach a conclusion without further investigation. Any C1 or C2 makes the overall report Unsatisfactory.
The whole of WV11 — the high street, Ashmore Park, the streets around New Cross Hospital, and out along the canal towards Willenhall. Our base is in Wolverhampton, so a same-day response is usually realistic.
Not at all. The report and certificate are yours regardless. If you want the remedial work priced, we quote strictly what the codes require and list anything discretionary separately, so nothing is smuggled in.

Adam visited our property to carry out the EICR inspection. He was very friendly, professional, and punctual. Overall, it was a very smooth and positive experience. I would definitely recommend Adam to anyone looking for a reliable and professional electrician.
Adam carried out an EICR on our property and I was really impressed with his service. Communication was excellent from start to finish, he was transparent with pricing, and provided a clear breakdown of any issues.
10 out of 10, really saved the day. Polite, positive and professional.
Adam had a flexible approach and wasn't fazed when the wiring wasn't as expected (the house is old and weird). He found the most effective way to fix the issue and make the system safe, with the absolute minimum of necessary damage.
ATF Electrics came out to fix our CCTV system that had 2 out of 4 cameras not working. After about 20 minutes he had located the wiring and fixed the issue. Quick job but saved me hundreds. So grateful for the help — will recommend to all my friends and family.
Very helpful, quick and efficient — would book again for sure.
Adam is an excellent electrician — very reliable, professional, clean and tidy throughout his work. Arrived on time, very efficient. Highly recommended.
Needed some electric in my shed and Adam helped me sort this out swiftly and very professionally too. Super happy with my service and he cleaned up afterwards too, so that was a plus!
Adam was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and polite. Changed the old fuse box to a brand new one. I would recommend his service to anyone — definitely will be using him again for any future work.
Adam came straight away when he heard about our electric faults. He fixed all our problems, was professional, honest and got the job done. I would recommend his services to anyone who needs an electrician.
I had a partial power outage. Adam came over very quickly and sorted out the problem. No further costs beyond the call-out charge, which was explained when I called. Very pleasant, courteous and professional. Will not hesitate to use again.
Really impressed by the level of service I received. I needed 2 sockets moving and called for a quote — I had a quote the same day and a clear outline of what would happen and when. Everything happened exactly as organised.
Wednesfield still feels like its own place — a high street, a canal running through it and a hospital on the doorstep — and the housing reflects a town that grew in stages. Interwar and post-war semis dominate, Ashmore Park adds a large tranche of council-built stock, and newer estates fill the gaps between. Different decades, different faults. Whatever the age, every circuit in WV11 gets the same inspection and the same coding.
