Regional coverage Solihull, Birmingham, Warwick and the Black Country. ## What working in Solihull actually involves Solihull is a different proposition to the dense terraced streets a few miles west. The borough is dominated by interwar and post-war detached and semi-detached housing, substantial modern detached properties, and village stock in Knowle, Dorridge, Hampton in Arden and Balsall Common that ranges from period cottages to large individual builds. That mix changes the work. Cable runs are longer. Properties frequently include garages, annexes, home offices, garden rooms and outbuildings that were wired as afterthoughts. Extensions and refurbishments are common, and where a house is being opened up anyway, it is the right and cheapest moment to specify the automation and the charging infrastructure that would otherwise be retrofitted expensively later. We reach Solihull from Rowley Regis on a straightforward motorway run to the south-east, and we work the borough regularly, from Shirley and Olton through the town centre out to the villages. When you call, we give an arrival window for the actual address, because Knowle and Shirley are not the same journey. Alongside domestic work, Solihull carries a serious commercial estate: town-centre offices and retail, business parks, and the corridor towards the NEC and the airport. Those premises need distribution, lighting, testing and increasingly control and metering, and they need it done without closing for the duration. ### Response to Solihull A direct motorway run south-east from our Rowley Regis base. Arrival windows quoted against the specific address and time of day. ### Property types we see here Large detached and semi-detached housing, village and period property in Knowle and Dorridge, modern estates, and town-centre commercial premises. ### Most requested work Whole-house Loxone systems, rewires during refurbishment, EV charge points, outbuilding and annexe supplies, and commercial testing and fit-out. ### Coverage across the borough Solihull town centre, Shirley, Olton, Knowle, Dorridge, Balsall Common, Hampton in Arden and the surrounding villages. ## Services available in Solihull ### Smart home automation Loxone lighting, heating, blinds, audio and security across a whole property. Solihull's larger homes benefit most, because per-room heating control and zoned lighting have more rooms to save in. ### Domestic electrical contracting Rewires, board upgrades, outbuilding supplies and additional circuits, including the garages, annexes and garden rooms that were originally wired as extensions of a socket circuit. ### EV charger installation Off-street parking is the norm here, which makes charging straightforward to do well, a designed circuit, correct outdoor protection, and scheduling into your off-peak tariff. ### Future Home Standard (2027) Self-builds and substantial refurbishments in the borough that complete after March 2027 need specifying now for capacity, heating control and charging provision. ### Commercial electrical contracting Fit-outs, distribution and lighting for Solihull offices, retail and business park units, programmed around your trading and access windows. ### Energy optimisation Circuit-level metering and occupancy-driven control for commercial premises, so a building's running cost becomes a list of specific items rather than one monthly figure. ## Why Solihull clients use us Solihull has no shortage of electricians. What is harder to find is one contractor who can wire the house and make the control system work properly afterwards. ### Loxone partner, not a reseller We design, install, configure and commission the system ourselves. On a whole-house project that matters, because the quality of an automated home lives in the configuration far more than in the hardware. ### Built for larger, multi-zone properties Longer cable runs, more heating zones, outbuildings, gardens and annexes all need planning rather than improvising. We survey the whole property, not just the rooms being worked on. ### Right timing on refurbishments Most of what makes a Solihull home genuinely smart is decided before plaster. We give you the specification early so you are not paying to chase cable into finished walls. ### One contractor across a portfolio Clients here often have a home, a business premises and sometimes rental property. Using one contractor keeps the standard, the documentation and the point of contact consistent. ### Written quotes with the assumptions stated We survey before pricing and set out what the figure covers. That is the only way a quote on a large, complicated property means anything. ## What we typically find in Solihull property The issues here are less about decay and more about houses that have grown well beyond the installation they were built with. ### Extensions bolted onto old distribution A house extended two or three times often runs the new areas from circuits that were never intended to carry them. The board becomes the weak point long before anything visibly fails. ### Outbuildings on inadequate supplies Garages, garden offices and annexes are frequently fed by undersized cable run without proper protection or earthing, which becomes a real problem once a car charger or heating is added. ### Whole-house heating from one thermostat Large properties controlled by a single hallway thermostat overheat some rooms and underheat others while consuming energy for both. Zoning is the single largest comfort and cost improvement available. ### Period village property Knowle, Dorridge and Hampton in Arden contain older stock where cable routes are limited and fabric cannot be disturbed casually. These need designing around, not forcing through. ### Solar gain in modern glazed extensions Large glazed rear extensions overheat badly in summer and lose comfort in winter. Automated shading tied to sun position handles both more cheaply than mechanical cooling. ### Business premises with untested emergency lighting Commercial units frequently have emergency lighting nobody has duration-tested. It looks functional until the moment it is needed, which is the worst possible time to find out. ## How we work in Solihull - 01 ### Talk to us about the job Call or send the details. We establish what the property is, what the problem or plan is, and whether the work is urgent or programmed. - 02 ### Site survey We attend, look at the existing installation and the practical constraints, and tell you what the work actually involves rather than what is easiest to quote. - 03 ### Written, itemised quote A no-obligation quote setting out scope, materials and the assumptions behind the price, so there is nothing to discover halfway through. - 04 ### Scheduled installation Work booked into agreed dates, phased where a household or business needs to keep operating, with the property left clean at the end of each day. - 05 ### Testing and commissioning Circuits tested and results recorded, controls configured and proven, and everything demonstrated to you before we call it finished. - 06 ### Certification and handover Documentation issued on completion, with a clear point of contact afterwards for changes, additions or questions. ## Solihull questions we are asked most Do you serve Solihull?Yes. Solihull is a regular working area for us, covering the town centre and the surrounding villages and suburbs including Shirley, Knowle, Dorridge, Balsall Common, Olton and Hampton in Arden. How fast can you reach Solihull?Solihull sits to the south-east of us, a straightforward run from Rowley Regis via the motorway network. We give you an arrival window based on the specific address when you call rather than an average across the borough. How much does electrical work cost in Solihull?Solihull properties vary enormously, a Shirley semi and a detached house in Knowle are different jobs before anyone discusses scope. We survey, then quote in writing with the assumptions stated, and quotes carry no obligation. Are you available for emergencies in Solihull?Yes, alongside planned work. Where a call-out fee applies we quote a reasonable rate and tell you the figure before attending. Do you install Loxone smart homes in Solihull?Frequently. Solihull has a high concentration of larger detached properties being extended or refurbished, and those are the projects where whole-house automation makes the most sense and costs the least to install. Can you work on large detached properties?Yes. Larger homes bring longer cable runs, more zones, outbuildings and often three-phase considerations. We survey the full property, including garages, annexes and gardens, before pricing. Do you take commercial work in Solihull?Yes, offices around the town centre and business parks, retail units, and premises near the airport and NEC corridor, with work phased around trading hours. Can you provide EICRs for Solihull landlords?Yes, for residential and commercial property, with observations prioritised so you can plan remedial spend rather than react to a list. Do you cover new-build and self-build projects in Solihull?Yes, including specification for the Future Home Standard which applies from March 2027. Involving us at design stage is what keeps compliance inexpensive. Which nearby areas do you also cover?Birmingham, Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon and the Black Country boroughs, so a client with property across the region deals with one contractor. ## Nearby areas we cover - Birmingham - Warwick - Stratford-upon-Avon - West Bromwich - Halesowen - All service areas ## Next steps - Positive & Nav Electrical home - Domestic services - Commercial services - Contact us for a no-obligation quote ## Planning work on a Solihull property?
