Do you cover all of Edinburgh?

Yes — we cover every Edinburgh postcode, from the New Town and Stockbridge across to Leith, Portobello, Morningside and the south side. We’re based in Newton Mearns, Glasgow and travel out to the capital every week.

How long does a rewire take in an Edinburgh tenement?

Top-floor flats are usually the quickest, bottom flats are a little trickier and middle flats are the most involved — there’s no easy access above or below. Most flat rewires still complete in 1–2 working days.

Will I need to move out during the rewire?

We don’t recommend staying in the property while we work. A rewire is a fast-paced building site for a day or two, so most clients stay elsewhere for the duration. We can install a temporary supply on request for things like fridges or fish tanks.

Do you handle plastering and making good?

Yes — free plastering is included with every house and flat rewire. Our trusted plasterers repair every chased channel and leave a smooth surface ready for you to decorate.

What certification do I receive on completion?

Every rewire is signed off with an Electrical Installation Certificate covering continuity, cable fitness and device functionality. Certificates are issued by email on receipt of payment, and the work is covered by our 12-year HomeRewire guarantee and the 6-year NICEIC guarantee.
