What does an electrician in Shirley work on?

Shirley stretches along the Stratford Road from the Birmingham boundary to Monkspath, with mid-century semis and detached houses around Shirley Park, newer homes towards Dickens Heath, and business estates nearby. As an electrician in Shirley we split our time between homes and workplaces:

  • Home EV chargers for driveways and garages
  • Consumer unit upgrades and partial rewires
  • Solar panels and battery storage
  • Workplace charge points and car park chargers
  • Commercial EICRs, LED and emergency lighting

Do you install workplace EV chargers for Shirley businesses?

Yes. For offices and units on estates such as Cranmore and Blythe Valley Park we assess the available supply, plan the number of chargers and add load management so they never overload the building. The Workplace Charging Scheme listed on GOV.UK may help eligible businesses with the cost.

For home charging in Shirley, most semis and detached houses have a driveway, so a standard 7kW smart charger is usually straightforward. If your consumer unit is older or full, we may recommend upgrading it first; our home EV charger installation guide explains what the survey checks.

Is Shirley covered by Birmingham or Solihull Council?

Shirley is in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, so planning questions, for example about solar panels on a listed building or in a conservation area, go to Solihull Council rather than Birmingham. Most rooftop solar on houses is permitted development either way; see our solar panel installation page.
