Local coverage
Working in Edinburgh
week in, week out.
Edinburgh is covered regularly for larger domestic jobs — full and partial rewires, consumer unit upgrades, EV chargers, and landlord EICR blocks. The city sits about an hour from the Gargunnock base, so work is scheduled as full-day or multi-day jobs where the drive is justified by proper on-site time.
Areas served in Edinburgh
Central Edinburgh and most surrounding suburbs are covered: New Town, Old Town, Leith, Stockbridge, Portobello, Morningside, Bruntsfield, Marchmont, Newington, Corstorphine, Murrayfield, Trinity and the wider suburban ring.
Response times to Edinburgh
Emergency response into Edinburgh isn't the same 1–2 hours as the Stirlingshire home patch — realistically, Edinburgh work is booked in as scheduled slots. Fault work is usually offered next-day where possible.
Property types we know
Edinburgh's housing is exceptional in its variety: Georgian townhouses in the New Town, Victorian and Edwardian tenements across huge swathes of the inner city, colony flats in Stockbridge, seaside stone terraces in Portobello, post-war housing in Broomhouse and Wester Hailes, and modern developments across Leith, Fountainbridge and out to Corstorphine.
Common service needs in Edinburgh
The Edinburgh book is dominated by full rewires on inherited period properties, consumer unit upgrades on ageing tenement boards, landlord EICR portfolios (the city has one of the largest private rental markets in Scotland), and EV charger installs on the suburban ring where residents have off-street parking.

Local property patterns
The recurring electrical
issues seen in Edinburgh.
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 Edinburgh.
Tenement stair and communal circuits
Edinburgh's Victorian tenements have layered generations of wiring, communal stair lighting and shared meter arrangements. Fault-finding and rewires here need someone who's done them before.
New Town and conservation restrictions
Georgian townhouses in the New Town and other conservation areas require careful cable routing and preservation of period features. Quoted with proper time to do it correctly.
Ageing tenement boards
Enormous numbers of inner-city flats still run wooden-backed or single-RCD boards long past their compliant life. Straightforward RCBO upgrades from £750, scheduled around access.
Landlord EICR portfolios
The rental market is huge, and portfolio landlords typically batch several EICRs across a day. Bulk scheduling is available and reports are issued the same day where possible.
EV demand in outer suburbs
Corstorphine, Trinity, Colinton and the outer suburban ring see steady 7kW charger demand, especially on driveways where off-street parking makes home charging practical.
