Home improvement electrics
Your local Dorridge electrician
Dorridge is a green, settled part of the borough, made up largely of family houses with gardens rather than shops and offices. The electrical work here tends to reflect that: it's about improving and future-proofing the home rather than fixing something broken. That is exactly the sort of work DGC Electrical enjoys most, and being based in nearby Shirley means reaching you is quick and straightforward.
A lot of what we do for Dorridge homeowners is planned, considered work: installing a home EV charger on the drive, adding extra lighting and sockets where a room never had enough, or upgrading a tired fuse box to a modern consumer unit with proper RCD protection. Where a family is extending or renovating, we handle the full electrical side, from first fix through to testing and certification.
Whatever the job, we treat your home with respect: dust sheets down, cables run neatly, and the place left clean at the end of the day. Everything is carried out to the 18th Edition wiring regulations by a NAPIT-approved, City & Guilds qualified electrician, then tested and certified.
