Edinburgh · across the Forth
Edinburgh is a straight run from base over the Queensferry Crossing, and the housing is a world of its own: stone tenement flats through the city, Victorian and Georgian terraces in the New Town and Marchmont, and leafier suburbs with driveways out west and north. Jack is most useful on the west and north side nearest the bridge, Corstorphine, Cramond, Barnton, Davidsons Mains, Blackhall, Leith and the New Town, and covers the wider city for planned work.
Edinburgh's defining feature electrically is its enormous private rental market, which is why landlord EICRs are such a big part of the work here. Under the Repairing Standard, every private let in Scotland needs a valid EICR carried out by a competent person at least every five years. Jack tests every circuit to BS 7671, photographs the work and gets a clear written report back fast, and because he is the same electrician who does the inspection, any remedial work is quoted and done without a second contractor.
For owner-occupiers, the suburbs are steady EV-charger and fuse-board territory: driveways getting a home charger, older flats and houses on tired boards that want a modern RCBO consumer unit. Tenement flats also bring their own work, shared stair lighting, older sub-mains and the careful fault-finding that comes with wiring that has been added to over a century.
Need an emergency electrician in Edinburgh? Jack is roughly twenty minutes over the Queensferry Crossing and answers his own phone, so a power cut, a board that will not reset or a burning smell gets a fast response day or night, not a call centre and a wait. If a job sits right across the far side of the city, he will tell you straight whether he is the right man for it.

Or just ring 07466 017593 and tell him what is up.
EICR · Edinburgh
Every private rented home in Scotland needs a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report at least every five years under the Repairing Standard, and before each new tenancy. Homeowners book one before buying or selling, or when an older house has never been checked. Jack does them across Edinburgh for a fixed £200 on a standard house or flat.
Whether it is a long let, a holiday let or your own home, the inspection is the same: every circuit tested to BS 7671 and a signed report, usually back the same day or the next.
Emergency · Edinburgh
No power, a board that trips straight back out, a burning smell or a scorched socket in Edinburgh? Ring Jack on 07466 017593, any hour, any day. It is his own phone. He will tell you honestly how soon he can get to you, then find the fault and fix it properly. If the whole street is off too, it is a power cut: ring 105.
