More about emergency electricianWhen a circuit keeps tripping, sockets stop working or lights flicker, there is a fault somewhere that needs tracing. We test circuit by circuit to find the cause instead of guessing, then repair it properly. See how fault finding works and what usually causes these problems.

More about commercial electricianAn Electrical Installation Condition Report checks the condition of every circuit in your home and lists anything that needs attention. Private landlords in Scotland need one at least every five years, and it's worth having one when you buy a house. See what the inspection covers.
More about EICR testingBusiness premises need regular electrical inspection to show the installation is being kept safe for staff and customers. A commercial EICR tests your distribution boards and circuits and grades any faults by how urgent they are. Learn how often your premises should be tested and what the report includes.
More about commercial eicrsAn old fuse box with rewireable fuses, or a board that keeps tripping, is a common reason to fit a new consumer unit. Modern units have RCD protection that cuts the power in a fraction of a second if there's a fault, inside a non-combustible metal case. Read what the swap involves.
More about consumer unit replacementAgeing wiring can become unsafe, and many older homes don't have enough sockets for the way we live now. Warning signs include fabric or rubber covered cables, old round-pin sockets and lights that flicker. A full rewire replaces every circuit in the property. See how we plan a rewire in Irvine.
More about full home rewireSometimes only part of the wiring needs replacing, such as one floor, a kitchen or a few circuits added over the years. A partial rewire can be the right answer when the rest of the installation tests well, and it costs less than starting again. Find out when a partial rewire makes sense.

Yes. Small jobs such as replacing a damaged socket, fixing a light that won't work or tracing a tripping circuit are just as welcome as rewires and consumer units. There's no call-out charge, and you'll know the price before any work begins, so a small job never turns into a surprise bill.
Yes. We carry out EICR testing for rented homes across Irvine and North Ayrshire, and can put right anything the report flags.
