“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.”

Common Questions

Edinburgh private landlords are legally required to have: a valid EICR (every 5 years or at start of new tenancy), and to ensure all rental properties comply with the Tolerable Standard for smoke and heat alarms — including interlinked alarms in specified locations. Failure to comply can result in significant fines and invalidate your landlord insurance.

Since February 2022, all Scottish properties must have: one smoke alarm in the room most frequently used for general daytime living, one smoke alarm in every circulation space on each storey (e.g. hallways and landings), one heat alarm in every kitchen, and all alarms must be interlinked. We install fully interlinked mains-wired or long-life battery systems across Edinburgh rental properties.

Yes — we offer portfolio management for Edinburgh landlords with multiple properties. We track all EICR due dates, remind you when inspections are needed, coordinate access with tenants and carry out all required testing. A single point of contact for all your Edinburgh electrical compliance.

If your Edinburgh rental property's EICR produces C1 or C2 coded observations, remedial work is required before the installation is satisfactory. You must not let the property until remedial work is complete and the installation re-certified. We carry out all remedial work and re-test as part of our landlord service.

Yes — Edinburgh landlords must provide tenants with a copy of the EICR at the start of the tenancy and within 28 days of a new inspection. We issue all reports digitally, making it straightforward to forward to tenants and retain for your own records.
