FAQs

Common Questions

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

Common signs in Melrose include wiring over 30 years old, frequent blown fuses, inadequate socket provision, or a failed EICR. Many stone cottages and Victorian villas still have original 1960s–70s cabling that needs replacement.

A typical stone cottage in Melrose takes 5–8 working days due to thick stone walls and the need for careful cable routing to preserve original features. Victorian villas take 6–8 days, while modern homes are usually 4–6 days. We will give you an accurate estimate after the initial survey.

Melrose stone cottages and Victorian villas often have original wiring from the 1960s–70s with rubber or early PVC cables, inadequate earthing and old consumer units. The thick stone walls of Borders properties make cable routing more complex than in modern builds, and many homes have had DIY additions over the years.

Yes — we cover rural properties in the TD6 area surrounding Melrose, including farms, cottages and village homes beneath the Eildon Hills and along the Tweed. Rural rewires may require additional considerations for supply stability, earthing arrangements and outbuilding wiring.

Some redecoration is typically needed where cables are chased into walls. In stone cottages with traditional lime plaster and thick stone walls, we cut and chase neatly, fill all chases and keep dust to a minimum. Modern homes with plasterboard typically need less redecoration.

Yes — if only certain circuits or areas need updating, we can carry out a partial rewire. We will assess whether this is the most cost-effective approach or whether a full rewire offers better long-term value for your TD6 property.

You will 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 the Scottish Borders.
