12 Best Electricians in Burton upon Trent for 2026

Burton upon Trent has a genuinely mixed housing stock, and that shapes the kind of electrical work that comes up most often. You've got Victorian and Edwardian terraces throughout Stapenhill and Horninglow with original or heavily amended wiring that frequently needs a full rewire or at least a modern consumer unit upgrade. Then there are the post-war semis across Winshill and Branston, many of which still have older ring-main configurations that don't meet current Part P requirements. Newer builds on the outskirts near Stretton and Uttoxeter Road are more straightforward, but even those throw up issues: EV charger installations, solar panel integration, and landlord EICR certificates have all become increasingly common requests across the town. Prices vary accordingly. A consumer unit replacement typically runs from around £400 to £700, a full rewire on a three-bedroom semi from £2,500 to £4,500, and an EICR inspection from around £150 to £250 depending on property size.

Every business listed here was drawn from third-party public business listings and ranked by public review rating and review count, with a small lift applied to businesses that show a working website and active phone number. We check each business's homepage to confirm that electrical work is what they primarily offer, which is how unrelated trades are kept off this page. Any listing flagged as permanently closed is removed automatically. Where you see a Trust Verified badge on a listing, that business has additionally passed our full verification process, covering trade qualifications and accreditations, public liability insurance, trading history, customer review history, and registered company information. You'll find the full list of what that involves on our How We Verify page. Businesses without the badge have not been independently verified by us, and you'll want to carry out those checks yourself before booking.

Before you commit to any electrician, ask to see their NICEIC, NAPIT, or ELECSA registration, since registration with one of these schemes is what allows them to self-certify notifiable electrical work under Part P of the Building Regulations. Without it, any notifiable work needs a separate building control inspection, which adds cost and delay. Always ask for a written quote before work begins, not just a verbal estimate, and get at least two or three quotes for anything beyond minor repairs. For landlords, make sure any EICR is issued on the correct form and signed by the inspector. Keep a copy of every certificate you receive, particularly completion certificates for consumer unit replacements, as you'll need them when selling or re-mortgaging.
