With Edinburgh’s property market thriving, many homeowners are choosing to stay in their current location while creating more space through loft conversions or home extensions. Not only do these upgrades solve space issues, they also add significant value to your Edinburgh property. It’s a win-win but for everything to run smoothly and safely, you’ll need a team of experienced, fully certified electricians and that’s where DC Electrical Edinburgh comes in!
Home renovation projects like extensions and loft conversions can change the way you live without the hassle of moving but the journey to get there can also be disruptive. Our skilled and professional team of expert Edinburgh electricians will work with you right from the planning stage to ensure your project stays on track, on budget and fully compliant with all current safety regulations.
We recommend early consultation to determine whether your project falls under permitted development or requires formal planning permission. All electrical work must meet building regulations, and our NICEIC-registered electricians will guide you through which parts of the job are notifiable. We handle all required certification and can notify your local building control authority on your behalf.
Once our electrician team has completed all their work, you’ll receive a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate along with an Electrical Installation Certificate. These documents are essential if you plan to sell or rent out your property in the future, so be sure to keep them safe.
From our many years of experience, we find that most renovation projects require additional lighting and power points. After a detailed survey, we’ll advise whether your Edinburgh property needs a full or partial home rewire and whether your requirements can be met through your existing circuits or if a new consumer unit is required. Our advice is always tailored to your specific project, ensuring any electrical modifications are both safe and future-proof your Edinburgh property for years to come.
If your plans include a new bathroom or shower room, we’ll also make sure your electrical installation meets all relevant safety standards for wet areas.
A full rewire can be a disruptive process—so if your electrical system needs an upgrade, it’s smart to carry it out alongside your extension or loft project. Our expert team will assess your system and provide honest, practical advice on whether a rewire or partial upgrade is necessary.
At DC Electrical Edinburgh, we’re committed to helping your home work better for you—now and for years to come. As one of Edinburgh’s leading electrician teams, we ensure that all updates to your home deliver maximum value, comfort, and peace of mind.
