Expert house rewiring across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Whether your property needs a complete rewire or just a section updating, our qualified electricians work to the latest standards with minimum disruption to your home.
From a single circuit update to a full rewire of your Edinburgh home or tenement flat, here's exactly what we cover.
From your first contact to job completion, we keep things simple and transparent at every step.
We carry out a thorough survey of your Edinburgh property, assess the existing wiring and scope the full rewire.
We provide a detailed fixed-price quote and agree a schedule that minimises disruption to your household.
Our team routes new cables, installs back boxes and consumer unit, and connects all circuits to current standards.
Every circuit is tested and inspected. You receive an Electrical Installation Certificate the same day.
We carry out full and partial rewires across every Edinburgh neighbourhood — from Victorian tenements in Leith and Morningside to modern new builds in Corstorphine and Liberton. Our Edinburgh electricians know the city's diverse property stock inside out.
Full rewire costs in Edinburgh vary depending on property size, construction type and the extent of work required. As a rough guide, a 2-bedroom Edinburgh flat typically costs £2,500–£4,000 for a full rewire; a 3-bedroom house £3,500–£6,000; and larger Edinburgh properties or tenements with thick stone walls may cost more due to the additional labour involved in cable routing.
All Edinburgh rewire quotes from Spotlight Electrical are fixed-price and confirmed in writing before work begins. We never add hidden charges. If your Edinburgh property requires a consumer unit upgrade alongside the rewire, we'll include this in the same quote.
Not sure if you need a full or partial rewire? We recommend starting with an EICR inspection — this gives you a definitive picture of your Edinburgh property's wiring condition and what work is actually required.
