FAQs

Common Questions

Common signs in St Boswells include wiring over 30 years old, frequent blown fuses, inadequate socket provision, or a failed EICR. Many traditional stone village houses still have original 1960s–70s cabling that needs replacement.

A typical stone village house in St Boswells takes 5–8 working days due to thick stone walls and the need for careful cable routing. Period cottages take 5–7 days, while modern homes are usually 4–6 days. We will give you an accurate estimate after the initial survey.

St Boswells stone houses and period cottages often have original wiring from the 1960s–70s with rubber or early PVC cables, inadequate earthing and old consumer units. The thick stone walls typical of Borders construction make cable routing more complex, and many properties have had DIY additions over the years.

Yes — we cover rural properties in the TD5 area surrounding St Boswells, including farms, cottages and homes near Dryburgh Abbey and along the River 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 houses with traditional lime plaster, 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 TD5 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.
