“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.

We carry out a full range of domestic and commercial electrical installations across Edinburgh, the Lothians and the Scottish Borders — including full and partial rewires, consumer unit upgrades, lighting installations, socket and switch additions, EV charger installations, smart home systems, outdoor and garden lighting, electric shower installations and kitchen electrical work. If you're not sure whether we cover your specific requirement, just give us a call on 07940 071963.

For a standard 3-bedroom property in Edinburgh, a full rewire typically takes 5–7 days. Larger properties or those with complex requirements may take longer. We'll give you a realistic, honest timescale once we've assessed the property — and we always work to minimise disruption to your household.

A consumer unit (fuse box) upgrade replaces an outdated fuse board with a modern unit fitted with RCD protection. You may need one if your existing board is over 25 years old, uses rewirable fuses rather than circuit breakers, or doesn't have adequate RCD protection. It's often required when selling an Edinburgh property or applying for a mortgage. We can assess your existing unit and advise you honestly.

Yes — we are certified to install home EV charging points from all major manufacturers across Edinburgh and the surrounding area, handling all the necessary certifications. We also install smart home systems including smart lighting, heating controls, home automation and security lighting. Everything is installed to the latest standards and fully certified.

For smaller jobs like socket additions or lighting changes, we often work live and minimise disruption. For larger installations such as rewires or consumer unit upgrades, a power outage is necessary for a period of time. We always plan this in advance and aim to complete isolated sections as quickly as possible to restore power.

All notifiable electrical work requires a certificate under Part P of the Building Regulations. As a registered contractor serving Edinburgh and the Lothians, we self-certify our work — meaning you receive a completion certificate directly from us. This is valid for insurance, mortgage and property sale purposes. Minor works that aren't notifiable still receive a minor electrical installation works certificate.

Absolutely. We install and upgrade all types of outdoor and garden lighting across Edinburgh including security lighting with PIR sensors, decorative garden lighting, driveway lighting and LED pathway lighting. All outdoor installations are weatherproofed and compliant with current regulations.

Signs that your wiring may need upgrading include frequently tripping circuit breakers, flickering lights, burning smells, discoloured sockets, or wiring that is over 25 years old. If you're unsure, an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) will give you a definitive answer. We carry this out across Edinburgh and can advise you on any remedial work needed.
