Restalrig Tenement Specialists
Restalrig has a mix of traditional Edinburgh tenements and post-war housing. Rewiring these properties requires understanding of shared walls, thick lath-and-plaster ceilings and limited cable access typical of EH7 properties.
Leith Links & East Edinburgh Coverage
We cover Restalrig, Lochend and surrounding east Edinburgh areas in EH7. Whether you are in a tenement on Restalrig Road, a post-war semi near Leith Links or a modern flat, we bring the same expertise.
18th Edition Compliant
All Restalrig rewiring fully complies with BS 7671:2018. Your EIC is issued same-day — accepted by Edinburgh City Council, mortgage lenders and insurers across Edinburgh.
Same-Day Certification
Your Electrical Installation Certificate is issued on completion — legally valid for insurance, property sales and Edinburgh landlord licensing requirements.
Fixed Restalrig Prices
We quote a fixed price before starting based on your Restalrig property type. No hidden extras — the price you agree is the price you pay.

“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 in Restalrig include wiring over 30 years old, frequent blown fuses, inadequate socket provision, or a failed EICR. Many EH7 tenements and post-war houses still have original wiring from the 1960s–80s that needs upgrading. We can carry out an EICR to give you a definitive answer.

A standard 2–3 bedroom Restalrig tenement flat typically takes 5–7 working days. The thick lath-and-plaster ceilings and shared walls in EH7 properties add complexity, but we are experienced in working efficiently within these constraints. Post-war houses are usually 4–6 days.

Restalrig post-war houses often have original 1950s–70s wiring with rubber or early PVC cables, inadequate socket provision and old fuse boxes. Many have had partial updates over the years, creating a mix of old and new circuits that can be confusing and potentially unsafe.

Yes — we carry out rewires in council and ex-council properties across Restalrig and east Edinburgh. These homes typically have straightforward construction that makes rewiring efficient, though some have had DIY additions that need addressing. We provide full certification accepted by housing associations.

Some redecoration is typically needed as cables need to be chased into walls. In tenements with thick plaster and lath ceilings, we cut and chase neatly, keep dust to a minimum and fill all chases before we leave. Post-war houses with plasterboard typically need less redecoration.

Yes — if part of your Restalrig 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.
