New Town Edinburgh Electrician — Period Property Experts
Edinburgh's New Town is one of the finest examples of Georgian urban planning in the world — and its properties present unique electrical challenges. Spotlight Electrical Services has over 15 years' experience working in New Town's prestigious Georgian and Victorian flats, townhouses and commercial premises across EH1, EH2 and EH3.
Whether you need an EICR for your Georgian flat, a consumer unit upgrade while preserving period features, or EV charger installation at a New Town mews property — we understand the specific requirements of listed and conservation area buildings and work sensitively within them.
New Town properties are often Category A or B listed. We carry out all electrical work sensitively, preserving period features while bringing electrical systems up to modern safety standards.
New Town sits within Edinburgh's World Heritage Site. We understand planning constraints and ensure all external work — including EV chargers and external lighting — meets local authority requirements.
New Town's deep-joisted Georgian floors and lathe-and-plaster walls require careful routing of new cables. Our team has perfected minimal-disruption techniques for these properties.
