Home electrical services we offer in Glasgow
Our domestic electricians cover every type of residential electrical work, from small repairs through to complete rewiring projects. Here is a breakdown of our most requested services across Glasgow:
Socket, USB and lighting installation
Adding extra sockets in a kitchen, installing USB outlets in a bedroom, or fitting new light fittings throughout your home — these are among the most common domestic jobs we carry out. We issue the required Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate (MEIWC) on completion so you have full documentation. A single additional socket typically costs between £80 and £150 including materials.
Consumer unit and fuse board replacement
If your home still has an older-style fuse board with rewirable fuses, upgrading to a modern consumer unit with RCD protection is one of the most important safety improvements you can make. A new consumer unit dramatically reduces the risk of electric shock and is required by many mortgage lenders and insurers. We replace consumer units in a single day and provide a full Electrical Installation Certificate on completion. Read our guide on signs your fuse board needs replacing.
Full and partial house rewiring in Glasgow
Properties built before the 1970s often have outdated wiring that no longer meets current safety standards. A full rewire replaces all cables, sockets, switches, consumer unit and connections throughout the property. We carry out both full rewires (typically for older or heavily-renovated properties) and partial rewires (for extensions, loft conversions or individual floors). Read our guide to rewiring costs in Glasgow for detailed pricing.
Electrical safety inspection (EICR) Glasgow
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a thorough inspection of all fixed electrical wiring in your property. It is legally required for private rented properties in Scotland and is increasingly requested by buyers during property sales. An EICR for a 3-bedroom Glasgow home typically costs between £150 and £250 and takes 2–4 hours. We provide the full report digitally on the same day. Learn more in our EICR inspection guide for Glasgow.
Electric shower installation and replacement
Installing or replacing an electric shower requires both electrical and plumbing work. Our team covers both trades, saving you the cost and inconvenience of booking two separate contractors. We install all major brands and ensure the dedicated circuit meets the shower's wattage requirements.
Outdoor, garden and security lighting
External lighting improves security and adds value to your property. We install PIR sensor lights, garden feature lighting, driveway lighting and outdoor sockets to weatherproof IP ratings. All outdoor installations meet the requirements of BS 7671 for external wiring.
Electric vehicle (EV) charger installation Glasgow
Home EV charger installation is one of our fastest-growing services. We install 7kW smart wallbox chargers and provide the electrical certificates needed to claim the OZEV grant where applicable. Most domestic EV charger installations are completed in half a day.

How much does a domestic electrician cost in Glasgow?
Hourly rates for a domestic electrician in Glasgow typically range from £55 to £75 per hour, plus materials. Fixed-price jobs such as consumer unit replacement or EICR inspections are quoted as a whole job. We always provide a clear, written quote before starting work.
Do I need an EICR before selling my home in Glasgow?
You are not legally required to obtain an EICR before selling a property, but buyers are increasingly requesting one during conveyancing. Having a valid EICR speeds up your sale and demonstrates the property is electrically safe. Read our full guide on EICR certificates in Glasgow.
How long does a domestic rewire take in Glasgow?
A full rewire of a 3-bedroom house in Glasgow typically takes 5–7 working days. Larger properties or those with additional complications such as solid walls or complex extensions may take longer. We will give you a realistic programme when we quote. Read our full house rewiring cost guide for Glasgow.
Can you add extra sockets or USB points to my Glasgow home?
Yes. Adding sockets, USB outlets or additional lighting circuits is one of our most common jobs. We can usually complete a single additional socket in a single visit and issue the required electrical certification on completion.
Do I need building regulations approval for a new consumer unit in Glasgow?
Yes. Replacing a consumer unit is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. As registered competent persons, we self-certify the work and notify Glasgow City Council on your behalf — you do not need to apply for building control separately.

How do I know if my Glasgow home needs rewiring?
Common signs your home may need rewiring include: round-pin or light-coloured plug sockets, rubber or fabric-covered cables in the loft, regular tripping RCDs, flickering lights, or a lack of earthing on old metalwork. An EICR will confirm whether rewiring is needed. Read our full guide on signs your electrics need attention.
