It is one of the closer parts of our West Midlands coverage, so getting out to survey a job is easy and travelling time is not inflating the price. Most of our work here is domestic, for owners who have been in the house long enough to know what irritates them about it, not enough sockets, a garage with no usable power, a board that trips when the kettle and the shower coincide. ### Property types in Aldridge Aldridge is largely a suburb of inter-war and post-war family housing: 1930s semis along the older roads, substantial 1950s–1970s detached and semi-detached housing, bungalows, and pockets of newer development. Gardens are generally larger than in the neighbouring towns, which is why so much of our work here is about the outside of the house: garden rooms and home offices needing their own supply, outside sockets and lighting, driveway charge points, and the groundworks that go with an extension or a garden building. Electrically, the 1930s stock is the one where we most often find an installation that has been extended rather than renewed, a newer board in front of much older circuits. That is exactly the situation an EICR is designed to reveal. ### What we get called for in Aldridge Consumer unit upgrades, partial rewires, garden room and outbuilding supplies, EV chargers, outside power and lighting, extra sockets, and fault finding. On the groundworks side: foundations for extensions and garden buildings, drainage runs, soakaways, slabs and driveway sub-bases. Air conditioning comes up in converted lofts and garden offices, where a room built for summer becomes unusable in it. We work out from 88B Springhill Road, Burntwood, Staffordshire, WS7 4UJ. Whatever the trade, the same things apply: the company is NAPIT registered and F-Gas certified, Sam holds City & Guilds 2391 and the 18th Edition, every other operative holds a CSCS or ECS card, and the work carries a 1-year guarantee on all work.

Local conditions ## What comes up in Aldridge Property age, ground conditions and drainage here shape what we find when we open a board or dig a trench. ### New boards on old circuits It is very common in Aldridge's older semis to find a modern consumer unit sitting in front of circuits from the 1950s or 1960s. The board is not the problem; the circuits behind it are. That is why we test before quoting a board change, rather than fitting one and discovering it will not hold. ### Garden buildings on borrowed power Larger gardens mean more garden rooms, workshops and summer houses, and a lot of them are fed by cable never intended to be buried, with no dedicated protection. It works until the ground moves, a spade finds it, or damp gets in. ### Long driveways and charge point runs Charge points at Aldridge properties often need a long run from the board to where the car actually sits. Cable size, voltage drop and earthing arrangement all matter over that distance, and the answer is not simply the cheapest unit plus whatever cable is on the van. ### Surface water on larger plots More roof and hard standing means more water to deal with. Extensions, patios and driveways here need a designed outlet or soakaway sized for the area they drain, or the water ends up standing against the house.
