Electrical work in Edinburgh
About half an hour from our base in Gullane.
Tenement flats, conservation-area villas and Scotland's busiest rental market — from Leith to Marchmont, Portobello to the New Town. Fixed prices, certificates the same week.
Edinburgh properties, and what they ask of an electrician
Most of our Edinburgh work is tenement work: Victorian stairs in Leith, Marchmont and Bruntsfield where the meter is on the landing, floor voids are shallow, and the wiring has been extended by every owner since the sixties. That's careful-route territory — cables run to suit lath-and-plaster and stone, boards upgraded in cramped presses, and everything certificated for the factor or the sale.
Conservation areas and the New Town add their own constraints — no trunking over cornicing, fittings that respect the room — while Portobello's terraces and colonies bring rewires and fuseboard upgrades as flats change hands. And everywhere, the rental market: HMO licences, student lets and agency-managed flats needing EICR, PAT and interlinked alarms on repeat.
Every service, in Edinburgh
Most of our Edinburgh work is landlord certificates and tenement fuseboard upgrades.
Edinburgh landlords: fixed-price compliance
Very friendly and approachable. Did a great job at a good price, fitted my EV charger and will be my go to electricians from now on.

Edinburgh questions, answered
Can you work in Edinburgh tenements?
It's our bread and butter: shared stairs, landing meters, lath-and-plaster and stone. We plan routes to the building, coordinate with factors where the stair is involved, and leave the certification a tenement sale or let depends on.
Do you do EICRs for Edinburgh rental flats and HMOs?
Yes — single lets, portfolios and licensed HMOs, with access arranged directly with tenants or your letting agent. HMOs also get the graded fire alarm work the licence requires, so one firm covers the whole electrical file.
Do you install EV chargers in Edinburgh?
Where the parking allows, yes — driveways in the suburbs and colonies with private parking are straightforward. For on-street tenement parking the honest answer is usually no, since a cable can't cross the pavement; we'll tell you before you buy a charger, not after.
Can you coordinate with my letting agent or factor?
Yes — most of our Edinburgh landlord work runs through agents. We handle keys, tenant notice and timing with them directly, and send certificates to you both so nobody chases paperwork. Portfolio flats get scheduled in a single run.
Which parts of Edinburgh do you cover?
The city proper — Leith, Portobello, Marchmont, Bruntsfield, the New Town and the southside — plus the eastern edge towards Musselburgh, which is nearest our base. If you're unsure, send the postcode; the answer is almost always yes.
