Everything your Stivichall property needs

Full & Partial Rewiring
Complete and partial rewires, including the making good afterwards, with notifiable work notified.

What we check on a property in Stivichall
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Stivichall, 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.
Existing certification
We ask what paperwork exists for previous work. Its presence or absence tells us how much of the installation has been tested before and what a new report needs to cover.
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.
Accessibility for the people living there
Switch and socket heights, and whether isolation points can actually be reached. Worth considering whenever an installation is being altered anyway.
Bathroom and kitchen compliance
Zones, IP ratings and supplementary bonding in bathrooms, and the condition of accessories near sinks and hobs. These are the areas where past unnotified work most often shows up.
Cable routes and depth in walls
Cables should run in permitted zones or be mechanically protected. Cables run diagonally across a wall are a real hazard to anyone later fixing a shelf, and they are not visible without testing.

West Orchard United Reformed Church is in the part of Stivichall we cover, and electrical work there is routine for us. Every quote still starts with a survey of the actual property, because no two are the same even on one street.
Are you actually local to Stivichall?
Yes. Stivichall is around 1.7 miles south of the centre of Coventry, well within the area we work in every week. We are not a national firm subcontracting the job out.
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.
What is the problem with old aluminium or rubber cable?
Rubber-insulated cable, common before the 1960s, goes brittle with age and crumbles when disturbed, exposing conductors — which is why an old installation can test acceptably and then fail the moment someone works on it. It is one of the clearest indicators that an installation needs replacing rather than extending, and we will say so rather than add circuits to it.
What do the C1, C2 and C3 codes on an EICR mean?
C1 is danger present — a risk of injury now, which needs making safe immediately. C2 is potentially dangerous, meaning it could become a risk and must be put right. C3 is improvement recommended: it is not dangerous and does not fail the report. An EICR is unsatisfactory if it carries any C1 or C2, or an FI meaning further investigation is required. A report that is entirely C3s is a pass.
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.
