General Electrical Work Solihull
Professional Electrician for One-Off Electrical Jobs
Need a socket moved? Extra downlights installed? Light fitting replaced? Not every electrical job requires a major installation or complete rewire. Farthing Electrical provides professional electrical services for all those smaller jobs that still need doing properly by a qualified electrician.
From adding sockets and upgrading light switches to installing ceiling fans and moving electrical points, we handle the everyday electrical work that makes your Solihull property more functional and safe. NICEIC-registered electricians, instant quotes available over the phone or video call, and all work completed to BS 7671:2018 wiring regulations with full certification.
General Electrical Work Pricing
Costs vary depending on the nature of the job, the number of items, and whether any circuit work is required alongside the installation. A single socket addition is a straightforward job; a full room renovation involving multiple circuits, lighting positions, and appliance connections is a different scope entirely.
Every job includes professional installation by a NICEIC-registered electrician, proper circuit testing on completion, appropriate certification (Minor Works Certificate or Electrical Installation Certificate depending on the work), and a 12-month guarantee on all workmanship.
Most smaller jobs can be quoted instantly over the phone or via WhatsApp video call — no waiting for a site visit, no obligation. Call us, show us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a fixed price on the spot.
Common Electrical Jobs We Handle
Socket additions and relocations – Extra sockets where you need them, moving existing sockets to better locations, or replacing damaged sockets with new ones.
Light fitting installation and replacement – Installing new pendant lights, chandeliers, wall lights, or replacing outdated fittings with modern LED alternatives.
Downlight installation – Adding recessed downlights to kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, or hallways for improved lighting and a modern finish.
Switch replacements and upgrades – Replacing standard white switches with brushed steel, chrome, or black finishes, or upgrading to dimmer switches.
Appliance installations – Cooker installations, electric oven connections, extractor fan installations, and connecting fixed electrical appliances.
Room renovations – All electrical work for kitchen refits, bathroom renovations, or bedroom updates including repositioning sockets, switches, and lighting.
When Do You Need General Electrical Work?
Home improvements and renovations – New kitchen or bathroom? You’ll need sockets, lighting, and appliance connections positioned correctly before tiling or decorating.
Outdated or damaged fixtures – Cracked sockets, broken light switches, or old-fashioned light fittings that need replacing with modern alternatives.
Functional improvements – Not enough sockets in your living room? Want better lighting in your kitchen? Need a socket for your new TV location? These everyday improvements make your home more usable.
Safety concerns – Any electrical fixture that’s loose, sparking, discoloured from heat, or causing circuit breakers to trip needs immediate attention from a qualified electrician.
Preparing to sell – Surveys often flag minor electrical issues like damaged sockets or non-compliant bathroom lighting. Fixing these before listing prevents price negotiations.

General Electrical Work FAQs
