Landlord electrical compliance in Edinburgh and across Scotland can be complex, particularly with evolving legislation. Scottish law requires landlords to ensure that all electrical installations are safe for tenants, with formal electrical inspections carried out at least every five years or at the beginning of a new tenancy. Failing to meet these obligations can result in enforcement action, fines and an increased risk to occupants.
Professional electrical testing in Edinburgh centres around the Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). EICR testing (or an Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal assessment of a property’s fixed electrical systems. During an EICR inspection, a qualified Edinburgh electrician checks wiring, sockets, lighting circuits, consumer units and protective devices to identify any defects, deterioration, or potential safety risks. The importance of EICR testing lies in its ability to uncover hidden electrical faults before they lead to electric shock, fire, or equipment failure. For Edinburgh landlords, EICR testing is a legal requirement and provides documented proof that a property meets current electrical safety standards. For Edinburgh homeowners, it offers reassurance that the electrical system remains safe, reliable and fit for continued use.
Where issues are identified during electrical testing, our skilled electrician team can carry out all required remedial work promptly. Because our Edinburgh electricians handle both inspection and repair, there is no need to involve multiple contractors, helping to minimise disruption and avoid delays. All electrical work is completed to current regulations and fully documented for your records as well as coming with our DC Electrical peace of mind guarantee.
