FAQs

Common Questions

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

Common signs in Colinton include wiring over 30 years old, frequent blown fuses, inadequate socket provision, or a failed EICR. Many 1930s semis still have original wiring from the 1960s–70s that needs upgrading, while converted steadings may have a mix of old and newer circuits.

A standard 3-bedroom 1930s semi in Colinton typically takes 5–7 working days. These properties usually have solid ground-floor walls and timber first floors, which present different challenges. Modern homes are usually 4–6 days. We will give you an accurate timescale after the initial survey.

Colinton 1930s semis often have original wiring from the 1960s–70s with rubber or early PVC cables, inadequate earthing and old consumer units. Common issues include insufficient socket provision for modern appliance loads, lack of RCD protection and DIY additions from previous owners.

Yes — we regularly carry out rewires in converted steadings and barns across the Colinton area. These conversions often have complex wiring histories with multiple phases of work, exposed timber and stone, and mixed construction types. We assess the full installation and plan the most efficient rewire approach.

Some redecoration is typically needed where cables are chased into walls. In 1930s semis with plaster walls, we cut and chase neatly, keep dust to a minimum and fill all chases before we leave. Modern homes with plasterboard typically need less redecoration. We will discuss this with you during the survey.

Yes — if part of your Colinton property has newer compliant wiring, we can often rewire just the affected circuits. We will assess whether a partial rewire is safe and cost-effective or whether a full rewire offers better long-term value.

You will 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 across Edinburgh.
