Commercial and industrial electrical work for the West Midlands estate

Birmingham has the largest commercial and industrial estate outside London and no shortage of electricians. What it has fewer of are contractors who will take on the electrical side of a hospital, a university campus, a manufacturing site or a multi-site portfolio and programme it around the mechanical plant and the people using the building. That is the work Rossair does. Engineering teams are based in Gloucestershire, about an hour down the M5, with contract management, helpdesk and accounts at the Basingstoke head office, and contract clients get a named account manager and the same engineers on every visit.

Frequently asked

Electrical contractors in Birmingham - common questions

What electrical work does Rossair do in Birmingham?

Commercial and industrial electrical contracting across Birmingham: power and distribution upgrades, lighting and LED schemes, EICR and fixed wire testing, emergency lighting and fire alarm systems, commercial EV charger installation and planned electrical maintenance contracts. All work is carried out by Rossair engineers and certificated to BS 7671.

Which parts of Birmingham and the West Midlands does Rossair cover?

Birmingham city centre, Digbeth, Edgbaston, Aston, Sutton Coldfield, Solihull and Birmingham Business Park, plus Wolverhampton, Walsall, West Bromwich, Dudley and the Black Country, Redditch, Bromsgrove and Coventry. Engineering teams are based in Gloucestershire, about an hour away on the M5.

Does Rossair take on industrial electrical work in the West Midlands?

Yes. Industrial work - 3-phase distribution, motor and machine supplies, high-bay lighting, EICR testing on a three-year cycle and planned electrical maintenance - is carried out for manufacturing and distribution sites across Birmingham, the Black Country and the M42 and M6 corridors, by the same NICEIC-registered engineers and to the same compliance pack.

Can Rossair carry out a commercial EICR on our Birmingham premises without shutting the building?

Yes. Fixed wire testing is phased board by board, with non-critical circuits tested during the day and server rooms, production lines, clinical areas and trading floors scheduled out of hours. You get the sequence in advance, nothing is isolated without your site contact agreeing the time, and the remedial work is done by the same engineers.

Can electrical and HVAC maintenance be combined for a Birmingham site?

Yes. Electrical PPM - distribution boards, emergency lighting, fire alarm servicing and the EICR cycle - goes on the same SFG20 schedule as the heating, ventilation and air conditioning, under one contract with one account manager and one compliance pack.

Is Rossair a NICEIC-registered electrical contractor?

Yes. Rossair is NICEIC registered for electrical installation and for inspection and testing, so installation certificates and EICRs are issued under the scheme. Rossair is also Gas Safe and REFCOM F-Gas registered and Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
