Cannock and Hednesford carry a lot of older terraced and semi-detached housing alongside estates built from the sixties onwards, and the two age groups fail differently. In the older stock it is the cable itself — rubber or fabric sheathing that has gone hard, boards with wire fuses, lighting circuits with no earth at the switch. In the later estates the cable is usually fine and it is the board, the bonding and years of added-on sockets and outside lights that let it down. The first group needs a rewire. The second usually does not, and being told so saves a great deal of money.
Properties out towards Cannock Chase often come with more than just the house: a detached garage, a workshop, a summerhouse or an outbuilding on the end of a supply that was never designed for what is now plugged into it. Those get looked at as part of the same job, because there is no sense rewiring a house and leaving an old buried cable feeding the garage. Where a purchase or a renovation is involved, an EICR in Cannock before you commit turns guesswork into a coded list you can budget against.
On renovation projects we sequence around the rest of the trades, so first fix lands before the plasterer and second fix after. You deal with Adam throughout.

Whole houses, single circuits and everything between, scoped against what the property is really running on.
New cable run back to the board through joists, lofts and chased walls, with back boxes set before the plasterer arrives. On a renovation this is the stage that has to happen at the right moment or it costs you twice.
Detached garages, workshops and garden rooms on old or undersized supplies get put right at the same time, with correctly rated, protected cable rather than something buried and forgotten years ago.
Main protective bonding to gas and water and the earthing arrangement are put right as part of the rewire. In older Cannock property this is one of the most common things we find missing, undersized or cut back during past building work.
Every rewire finishes on a modern metal consumer unit with RCBO protection and surge protection where it is appropriate, with each circuit clearly labelled so the next person who opens the board can read it.
Full testing across every new circuit, the Electrical Installation Certificate in your hands, and the notification to building control done through our NAPIT membership — which matters when you come to sell.
A sequence that works whether the house is empty, lived in or in the middle of a renovation.
A proper look round the property — board, cable, loft, outbuildings — so the quote reflects the whole installation and not just the rooms you mentioned.
Full or partial, which circuits, what extras, and where the work sits alongside plasterers, joiners and kitchen fitters if others are on site.
First fix, then second fix once the walls are made good, with the new consumer unit going on at the end.
Tested, certified and notified to building control, with the paperwork you will need when the property is sold or let.
A rewire is often the point where a fuse board, an EICR or an EV charger gets talked about too. Those pages for Cannock are below, along with rewires in the towns next door.
The questions we get asked most by Cannock homeowners, buyers and landlords.
Get it inspected before you decide. A pre-purchase or post-purchase EICR codes every defect and tells you whether the cable itself has failed or whether the house simply needs a board, some bonding and a few repairs. Rewiring a property that did not need it is an expensive way to find out.
It follows the property, not the town: circuit count, floor area, how the floors are built, how many extra sockets and lights you add, and whether outbuildings are included. You get a fixed written figure after a site visit, with the scope listed so you can see what is in it.
Yes, and on properties towards the Chase they come up constantly. An old buried cable feeding a garage that now runs power tools or a freezer is worth putting right while the house is open anyway, with a properly sized and protected supply.
That is the normal way we do renovation work. First fix has to be in before the plastering, second fix after, and the board usually goes on near the end. Tell us the programme and we will fit our two visits into it.
Yes. You get the Electrical Installation Certificate, and because a rewire is notifiable work under Part P we notify it to building control through NAPIT. That paperwork is what a buyer's solicitor asks for, so it is worth having rather than reconstructing later.

Couldn't recommend Adam enough — top class service from start to finish, making sure I was aware of what's going on at every stage of the full rewire he completed on my property. Will definitely be using ATF in the future!
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.
Excellent service from Adam at ATF Electrics. Excellent communication from start to finish and a quick turnaround on the job. Adam was a great guy, friendly and efficient — we would definitely recommend and use again.
Absolutely fantastic service. Adam was on time, very professional, very knowledgeable and polite. Cannot fault his work and will definitely be using him again for any future work.
Last minute call-out. Prompt, courteous and explained what he was doing and why, every step of the way. Now using plug sockets that three other electricians couldn't fix. 10/10.
Adam has installed a few sockets and new downlighters for us. Very quick, and kept the place nice and tidy. Definitely recommend him.
Very professional and friendly.
Very polite and very professional. Nothing was too much trouble and no mess was left. Would use them again — recommended.
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.
Came out last minute on a Sunday evening to sort my broken shower out. Polite, great communication and above all professional. 10/10, will be using again!
Spot on service. Quick to get here, friendly and sorted us out to get us back up and running in no time!
Messaged Adam to get new light fixtures installed in my kitchen. He was able to get this sorted for me within 2 days of messaging him. Quick to respond and efficient at getting the job done.
