FAQ
Good questions
Do you charge for quotes?
Quotes for planned work are free. Fault finding is charged by the hour, because the time goes into finding the problem. (Template answer.)
How quickly can you come out?
For planned work, usually within a week or two. For urgent faults, call and I’ll tell you honestly when I can get there.
What is an EICR, and do I need one?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report checks the safety of your existing wiring. Landlords in Scotland need one at least every five years, and it’s worth having when you buy a home.
Will you leave a mess?
No. Dust sheets go down before tools come out, and I hoover up before I leave. It’s in the name.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. New circuits and consumer units come with the right certificate, emailed to you the same week.
