Size is the first thing that changes a rewire in Tettenhall. A larger house does not just want more sockets — it wants more circuits, and each of those circuits has a longer distance to cover between the board and the far end of the building. A separate lighting circuit per floor rather than one stretched across two. Power split by area instead of one ring doing the lot. Dedicated supplies for the cooker, the shower and anything living in an outbuilding. Cable sized for the run, not just for the appliance on the end of it. Get that list right at the start and the rest of the job is predictable; get it wrong and somebody is back inside the walls within a year or two.
The other thing large houses collect is history. A conservatory picked up from the nearest socket, garden lighting taken off the garage supply, a loft conversion added back when the board still had a spare way free. None of that is unusual and not all of it is dangerous, but once four or five additions are hanging off an installation from another era, the honest answer is usually a rewire rather than yet another alteration. The way to establish which of the two you are looking at is an EICR in Tettenhall, because a set of test results tells you things a build date never can.
Houses here also tend to be lived in and well decorated, so we plan routes around whatever you would rather not have opened up. Loft voids, suspended timber floors and the backs of cupboards do a surprising amount of the work if somebody looks properly before the first chisel comes out. You deal with Adam throughout.

Quoted from a circuit count and a route plan, so the figure still holds once the walls are open.
We list every circuit the finished house is going to need before a figure is written down: lighting by floor, power by area, cooker, shower, boiler, garage, garden. That list is the quote. It is also why two houses with the same bedroom count can turn out to be very different jobs.
Anything detached needs a supply of its own, buried or clipped properly and protected back at the board, rather than an extension lead run out through a window every summer. Over longer distances the cable gets sized for the run so the voltage still holds up at the far end of it.
Before anything is chased we work out how much of the house can be wired from above and below. A decent loft and suspended timber floors will carry most of a rewire without a chisel going near a decorated wall, which is the difference between redecorating one room and redecorating all of them.
Rear extensions, loft conversions and garden rooms are usually the point at which the original installation quietly ran out of capacity. A rewire is the moment to bring those additions onto properly rated circuits with their own protection instead of leaving them spurred off whatever happened to be closest at the time.
Every circuit is tested and the readings are written down, so you end up with an Electrical Installation Certificate and a schedule showing what was installed and how it performed. The work is notified under our NAPIT registration, which matters more than people expect when a larger house eventually changes hands.
Four stages, built around counting the work properly before anybody commits to a number.
We walk the whole property with the board open, the loft hatch off and a floorboard or two lifted, because a large house cannot be priced from a description of it.
You get a written scope: every circuit the finished installation will carry, the routes we intend to use and the rooms that will need making good afterwards.
Cable run from the board position out to every point, using voids and lofts wherever they will take it, back boxes set and floors put back as we work.
Accessories fitted, the new board installed and energised, the whole installation tested end to end, then certificate and notification issued.
A rewire is often the point where a fuse board, an EICR or an EV charger gets talked about too. Those pages for Tettenhall are below, along with rewires in the towns next door.
What owners of larger WV6 properties ask us before booking a rewire.
Not per room exactly, but a bigger house does cost more overall than the bedroom count alone suggests. The two drivers are the number of separate circuits the finished installation needs and how far each one has to run. We count both at the survey and put them in the written quote, so you can see what you are paying for.
No. Where there is an accessible loft and suspended timber floors we can reach most points from above and below, and chasing is kept to the places with no alternative — usually switch drops and the odd socket on an internal wall. We agree which rooms will be affected before we start.
Usually yes in a larger property, because there is room to work through it in sections and keep power on elsewhere. It is still dusty and floors will be up in places. An empty house is quicker, and we will tell you honestly which way round suits your property.
Yes, and it is the sensible time to do it. Running a proper supply out to a detached building is far easier while the board is already out and the floors are open. Tell us at survey stage what is out there and what you want it to run.
We do. The main difference is care rather than technique — original doors, floors, cornice and plaster all shape where the cable can sensibly go. That is exactly why the routes get planned at survey stage instead of being worked out with a chisel in hand.

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!
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!
Great service, didn't rip me off. Would definitely recommend.
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.
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.
Emergency call-out due to an alarm fault. Adam was great, very friendly and helpful. Took his details so I can use him directly next time.
10 out of 10, really saved the day. Polite, positive and professional.
Adam has installed a few sockets and new downlighters for us. Very quick, and kept the place nice and tidy. Definitely recommend him.
Came to me to check the electrics and make sure all is safe in a shed I built in the garden. Did a very thorough job! Very friendly and professional.
Very professional and friendly.
Absolutely brilliant service. Adam was always approachable and available to speak to. Very knowledgeable and willing to answer all questions without hesitation. The only electrician that came out and did a test on a Sunday! Thank you Adam.
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!
