Local property patterns
The recurring electrical
issues seen in Currie & Balerno.
Every area has its own housing history, its own climate exposure and its own recurring electrical issues. Here are the ones that come up most often in Currie & Balerno.
Water-of-Leith stone villas
Solid stone Victorian and Edwardian villas along the river need careful cable chasing. Quoted with proper time to preserve period features.
1970s–80s executive estate boards
Executive housing across the Currie and Balerno estates commonly has single-RCD split-load boards. Standard RCBO upgrade at the £750+ profile.
Off-street parking = strong EV demand
Driveways are the norm across the area, driving very strong 7kW home charger demand. Typically paired with a small board reconfiguration.
Family-home refurbishment volume
An active family-home market means a steady flow of kitchen, bathroom and lighting refurbishment work — coordinated cleanly with local joiners, tilers and plumbers.
Pentland-edge outbuilding supplies
Larger plots on the Pentland-edge frequently need proper outbuilding supplies and garden lighting — done with armoured cable and correct protection.
