FAQs

Common Questions

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

Common signs in Craigentinny post-war properties include wiring over 30–40 years old, frequent blown fuses, inadequate socket provision, or a failed EICR. Many EH7 properties still have original 1960s–70s cabling that now needs replacing for safety.

A typical 2–3 bedroom post-war house in Craigentinny takes 4–6 working days. Modern properties are usually quicker, while larger family homes may take 6–8 days. We'll give you an accurate estimate after the initial survey.

Craigentinny post-war houses often have original aluminium or early copper cabling, inadequate earthing and consumer units with old-style breakers. Many have had DIY additions over the years that create safety issues. A full rewire replaces everything with modern, compliant cabling.

Yes — we understand the buy-to-let market in Craigentinny and can schedule rewires during void periods. We work efficiently to get your property back on the rental market quickly and issue all documentation needed for landlord compliance.

Some redecoration is typically needed where cables are chased into walls. In post-war houses with plaster walls, we cut and chase neatly, fill all chases and keep dust to a minimum. The extent depends on your property's specific finishes.

Yes — if only certain circuits need updating, we can carry out a partial rewire. We'll assess whether this is the most cost-effective approach or whether a full rewire offers better long-term value for your EH7 property.

You'll receive an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) covering the full rewire scope. 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.
