Modern lighting circuits
Consumer unit upgrades
Kitchen electrical installations
Electrical supplies for appliances

Electrical upgrades during renovations
Every property is different, which is why we begin by assessing your existing installation and discussing what you require from your new electrical system.

Bearsden has a varied housing stock, from traditional period properties to larger detached and semi-detached family homes. Older houses can sometimes retain electrical installations that were designed long before today’s reliance on electrical appliances, technology and home entertainment.
An older installation may still function, but that does not necessarily mean it is ideally suited to the demands of a modern household.
A full home rewire provides an opportunity to replace ageing components while reconsidering the position and number of sockets, switches and lighting points throughout the property.
Our electricians will discuss your requirements before work begins, helping ensure your new installation is practical for both your current needs and the future.
It isn’t always obvious that electrical wiring is becoming outdated because much of the installation is hidden behind walls, ceilings and floors.
There are, however, several signs worth looking out for, including:
An old-style or rewireable fuse board
Regularly tripping circuits
Flickering or dimming lights
Discoloured sockets or switches
Burning smells around electrical accessories
Damaged or cracked sockets
Very few sockets within individual rooms
Sockets positioned on skirting boards
Visible or deteriorating wiring
An electrical installation that has not been updated for several decades
If you are uncertain about the age or condition of your electrical installation, arranging an inspection is the safest way to establish whether a complete rewire or another electrical upgrade is required.
Renovating a house is often one of the best opportunities to consider rewiring.
If floors are already being lifted, rooms are being stripped back or kitchens and bathrooms are being replaced, electrical work can be planned alongside the wider renovation.
This also gives you an opportunity to reconsider how each room will be used.
You may want additional sockets behind televisions, dedicated supplies for kitchen appliances, improved lighting layouts, USB charging points or electrical provisions for future technology.
Planning these requirements before walls are decorated and flooring is finished can save considerable inconvenience later.
We understand that having electricians working throughout your property can be disruptive. Our specialist approach to rewiring allows our team to work efficiently, with most standard home rewires completed within approximately 1–2 days.
The exact timescale will depend on the size and layout of your property, its construction, accessibility and any additional electrical work you request.
We will explain the expected timescale before work begins so you know what to expect.
Your electrical installation is an important part of your home's safety. Our rewiring work is undertaken by qualified electricians and completed in accordance with current electrical requirements.
Home rewiring is at the heart of what we do. Our electricians have extensive experience completing full rewires rather than treating them as an occasional electrical project.
Our experience allows us to work systematically and efficiently, helping reduce the amount of time your home is disrupted.
Following your survey, we can provide a clear quotation based on the property and the electrical specification you require.

Traditional period houses
Detached family homes
Semi-detached properties
Bungalows
Flats and apartments

The electrical requirements of a large detached house can be very different from those of a flat or smaller property. We tailor the specification to the building rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
