We Know Edinburgh's
Properties Inside Out
Edinburgh's built environment is unique — from Georgian stone townhouses to 1960s tenement blocks, modern new builds to rural Borders cottages. Each presents different electrical challenges, and we have the experience to handle them all properly.
Victorian & Georgian Properties
Edinburgh's historic homes require specialist knowledge of older wiring systems, earthing arrangements and sympathetic upgrades. We've rewired dozens of tenement flats, stone-built villas and listed properties across the New Town, Stockbridge and Morningside.
Edinburgh Tenements
Shared supplies, cast iron conduit and asbestos-containing materials are common challenges in Edinburgh tenements. We know how to work safely within these constraints, coordinate with neighbours and complete work with minimal disruption.
Modern Developments & New Builds
From Smart Home wiring in new developments to EV charger installation in recently completed estates, we bring modern electrical solutions to Edinburgh's newest properties. We also work with builders on new-build snagging and final connections.
Commercial & Landlord Properties
We understand the specific compliance requirements for Scottish landlords — EICR testing every 5 years, smoke alarm interlinking and tenant safety. We also carry out commercial fit-outs, office rewiring and shop electrical work across Edinburgh.
