Property Maintenance Coventry carries out electrical work in Broomfield: fault finding, rewiring, consumer unit replacement, lighting, additional circuits and EICR inspection and testing. Work is tested and certificated, and anything notifiable under the Building Regulations is notified.
Working in Broomfield
Broomfield sits just west of the city centre between Spon End and Earlsdon, straddling the CV1 and CV5 postcode districts.
It is largely older terraced and semi-detached housing, which in practice means solid walls, original roof structures and pointing that wants a lime-based mortar rather than a hard cement one. Using the wrong mortar on a wall like this does slow damage.
Earlsdon and Spon End are a few minutes away and we cover both.

What we check on a property in Broomfield
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Broomfield, and why each one changes the recommendation.
The consumer unit and what protects what
We record the board type, the protective devices and which circuits they cover. Whether there is RCD protection, and on what, is the single biggest factor in how safe an older installation is.
Outdoor and outbuilding circuits
We check supplies to garages, sheds and garden lighting for correct protection, suitable cable and weatherproof accessories. Water in an outdoor socket is a classic cause of nuisance tripping.
Evidence of previous DIY work
Junction boxes buried in walls, connectors in lofts, mismatched cable and undocumented spurs all tell us the installation has been altered without records, which changes how much testing the job needs.
Fan and extract provision
Bathroom and kitchen extract is an electrical job with a ventilation purpose. We check it exists, actually runs and discharges outside rather than into a loft.
Insulation resistance
Testing insulation resistance circuit by circuit shows up deteriorating cable and moisture ingress before they cause a fault. It is also what distinguishes a tired installation from a dangerous one.
Smoke and heat alarm provision
We note what alarms are fitted, whether they are interlinked and how they are powered. Requirements differ for rented property, and it is a cheap thing to put right while other work is happening.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Which part of Broomfield do you cover?
All of it — the streets around Hearsall Community Academy included. Where a property sits matters less to us than what the access is like, which is something we look at on the survey rather than guessing from an address.
Is Broomfield in your coverage?
It is. Broomfield sits in the CV1 and CV5 district and we work there regularly. Give us the full postcode when you call and we can be specific about survey dates.
Do I need a full rewire, or will a partial one do?
A partial rewire is sensible where part of the installation is sound and part is not — commonly where lighting has been updated but the ring final circuits have not, or where an extension was wired recently. It is a false economy where the existing cable is at the end of its life, because the old section will fail next and you pay twice for making good. Testing is what tells the two apart.
What are the most common electrical problems in older Coventry homes?
The pattern repeats: a board with no RCD protection, lighting circuits with no earth, sockets added over the years onto a circuit that was never designed for them, and a bathroom or kitchen altered without the work being notified. None of it is unusual and most of it is fixable without a full rewire — but it needs testing first to know which category a particular house is in.
My RCD keeps tripping. What causes that?
Usually a genuine earth leakage somewhere, not a faulty RCD. Common sources are a failing appliance element, water in an outdoor socket or light, a damaged cable, or simply the accumulated small leakage of many appliances on one RCD tipping it over the threshold. The way to find it is systematic testing circuit by circuit, which is quicker and cheaper than replacing appliances by trial and error.
I am a landlord with an unsatisfactory EICR. How long do I have?
Twenty-eight days from the report, or sooner if the report specifies a shorter period, and you have to give written confirmation of the remedial work to the tenants and to the local authority if they ask for it. C1 items should be made safe on the day they are found rather than held over. Keep the report and the completion evidence together; both are asked for.
How much do electricians cost in Broomfield?
