“Fantastic service from Innes. Hired to fit a new extractor fan in the bathroom. He walked me through the options available and what he would recommend. On the install day he arrived on time and did a very professional install in the loft.”

Common Questions

All private rental properties in Portobello EH15 must have a valid EICR every 5 years under Scottish regulations, or at the start of each new tenancy if sooner. Portobello's Victorian housing stock makes regular EICRs especially important for identifying ageing wiring issues.

Portobello's Victorian terraces often have wiring that has been added to or modified over many decades. Common findings include older fuse boards, mixed wiring types, inadequate earthing and missing RCD protection. Seafront properties may also show signs of corrosion in older fittings.

A standard 2–3 bedroom Portobello terrace or flat takes approximately 2–4 hours. Larger seafront properties or HMOs take longer. We confirm an accurate time estimate at booking based on your specific property.

Yes. HMO properties in Portobello require an EICR that meets Edinburgh City Council's HMO licence conditions. Our HMO EICRs cover all individual rooms, shared circuits and common areas, and produce documentation in the format required for licence applications and renewals.

Not legally required for sales, but Portobello buyers increasingly request them on older properties. A satisfactory EICR speeds up the transaction and gives buyers confidence — especially important for coastal properties where buyers are often concerned about older installations.

Yes. We carry out all remedial electrical work arising from Portobello EICRs — from consumer unit upgrades to individual circuit repairs — and retest on completion to issue an updated satisfactory report. We aim to complete remedials quickly to minimise void periods.
