Solar panel installation in Birmingham

Birmingham is the UK's second-largest city, and its housing stock reflects that scale more than almost anywhere else: Victorian back-to-back terraces surviving around Hockley and Highgate, interwar semis through Kings Heath and Moseley, postwar estates towards Erdington and Castle Vale, and leafy Edwardian villas in Edgbaston and Harborne. There's no single 'Birmingham roof' — which is exactly why we survey each property rather than quoting off a postcode.

Back-to-back terraces, a housing type Birmingham is genuinely known for — a preserved row is now a National Trust museum on Hurst Street — often share roof structures with the row behind as well as either side, so orientation and access need proper assessment before a design goes anywhere near a quote.

Parts of Edgbaston, Moseley and the Jewellery Quarter carry conservation area status, and a number of Birmingham's grander Victorian terraces are listed. We check this at survey stage and design around rear or side roof planes where a front-facing install would need extra planning care.

National Grid Electricity Distribution runs the network across the West Midlands, and getting the DNO notification and commissioning signed off is on us, not something you need to manage.
