“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

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

We diagnose and repair a full range of electrical faults across Edinburgh and the Lothians — including tripping circuit breakers, blown fuses, complete power failures, faulty sockets and switches, flickering or dead lighting, broken fuse boxes, damaged wiring, and appliance faults. If you're experiencing any electrical issue at your Edinburgh home or business, give us a call on 07940 071963.

Yes — we provide a 24/7 emergency call-out service for urgent electrical faults across Edinburgh, the Lothians and the Scottish Borders. This includes complete power failures, tripped circuits that won't reset, burning smells or sparking from sockets, and any fault that poses a safety risk. Call us directly on 07940 071963 for immediate assistance.

A circuit that keeps tripping is usually a sign of an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance drawing too much current, or a wiring fault such as a short circuit or earth fault. It should never be ignored. We can carry out a full diagnostic at your Edinburgh property to identify the exact cause and fix it properly — don't just keep resetting the breaker without finding out why.

Most standard repairs such as socket replacements, lighting faults and circuit resets are completed within 1–2 hours. More complex fault-finding jobs may take longer depending on the extent of the issue. We'll always give you an honest estimate before we start and keep you updated throughout.

Yes — we offer maintenance contracts for both residential and commercial clients across Edinburgh and the surrounding area. Regular scheduled inspections and maintenance keep your electrical systems safe, compliant and reliable, and can help prevent costly emergency repairs down the line. Contact us to discuss a contract tailored to your needs.

PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) is the process of checking electrical appliances for safety. It's commonly required by Edinburgh businesses, landlords and schools to ensure portable electrical equipment is safe to use. While not always a legal requirement, it's strongly recommended and can be a condition of your insurance. We carry out PAT testing for businesses of all sizes across Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders.

Yes — we repair all types of outdoor and garden lighting across Edinburgh including security lights, PIR sensors, pathway lighting and feature garden lighting. Outdoor electrical faults can be more complex due to weathering and moisture ingress, so it's important to have them properly diagnosed and repaired by a qualified Edinburgh electrician.

First, check your consumer unit (fuse box) to see if any circuit breakers have tripped or RCDs have switched off. If resetting them doesn't restore power, or if you hear buzzing, smell burning, or see any signs of damage, do not attempt further investigation — call us immediately on 07940 071963. If you suspect an issue with the incoming supply, also contact your Edinburgh electricity network operator.
