Do you cover the rest of West Lothian?

Yes — Livingston, Bathgate, Broxburn, Linlithgow, Whitburn, Armadale and the surrounding villages. Livingston sits between our Glasgow base and Edinburgh, both of which we cover weekly.

My home is 1970s new town stock — how long will a rewire take?

Usually 1–2 working days. Properties of this era have predictable cable routes and stud or blockwork walls, which makes the first fix considerably faster than an older stone-built home.

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.

Is your Livingston home ready for a rewire?

The signs worth acting on.

Many homes in Livingston were built between the 1960s and 1980s and have wiring that is now 40–60 years old. Even if everything appears to be working fine, wiring of that age can be deteriorating internally and may not meet current safety standards.

The signs to look for are a consumer unit still fitted with old rewireable fuses, circuit breakers tripping regularly or fuses blowing, lights that flicker or fail without obvious cause, extension leads running throughout the house because there aren’t enough sockets, no RCD protection on your circuits, and wiring that hasn’t been professionally inspected in over 25 years. Book a free electrical assessment and we’ll give you straightforward advice on the best way forward.
