“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.”

FAQs

Common Questions

Can't find your answer? Give us a call on 07940 071963.

Common signs include wiring over 25–30 years old, rubber or fabric-sheathed cables, round-pin sockets, a fuse box using rewirable fuses, or a failed EICR report. Edinburgh tenements built before the 1970s often still have outdated wiring that requires upgrading. We can carry out an EICR inspection to give you a definitive answer before committing to a rewire.

A standard 3-bedroom terraced or semi-detached Edinburgh property typically takes 5–7 working days. Larger properties, Edinburgh tenement flats with thick stone walls, or properties requiring extra care around period features may take longer. We'll give you an accurate timescale after the initial survey.

Not necessarily. For full rewires we prefer to work through the property floor by floor. You will be without power during working hours each day, but we restore the supply each evening. Some families prefer to stay elsewhere — we'll advise honestly based on the size of your property and the scope of the work.

Some redecoration is typically needed after a full rewire as cables need to be chased into walls. We cut and chase neatly, keep dust to a minimum and fill all chases before we leave. The extent of redecoration depends on your Edinburgh property's wall construction — stone-built properties often need less chasing than modern drylining.

Yes — if part of your Edinburgh property has already been rewired or has newer, compliant wiring, we can often rewire just the affected circuits or sections. We'll assess whether a partial rewire is safe and effective or whether a full rewire is the better long-term investment.

You'll receive an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) covering the full scope of the rewire. This is self-certified by us as a registered Part P contractor and is fully valid for insurance, mortgage lenders and property transactions in Edinburgh and across Scotland.
