See what some of our landlords have to say about IES!
Recommended to me by Scott Findlay. As an absent landlord I cannot recommend IDEAL highly enough. They completed all necessary safety checks and remedied all issues quickly , at the same time as dealing with a difficult tenant who complicated access to the flat. Provided all necessary certificates and easy quotes and payments online. Very reassuring.

Excellent communication from all members of the company that I dealt with. They arrived when scheduled and carried out the work in professional manner; wearing appropriate PPE. Would highly recommend for all landlords requiring safety checks.

I have used Ideal Electrical Solutions (UK) Ltd for a number of years. I find the staff are professional yet incredibly helpful. The booking system used is really efficient and allows you to view scheduled work as well as work previously completed. I have used Ideal Electrical for a variety of testing including Fire Risk Assessments, Fire Alarm Tests, EICR reports and PAT Tests. The staff have also been really helpful in providing advice when they could not come to the property to complete work.
Their work is exemplary and they are well thought off in Edinburgh.

FAQs of Edinburgh landlords
See what some landlords in Edinburgh have been asking our team
An EICR stands for Electrical Installation Condition Report, EICRs are usually carried out for landlords and commercial properties who require their electrical systems to be safe.
An EICR in Scotland must be signed off by a qualified electrician that is SELECT registered or a member of NICEIC.
Yes, you require an EICR for any long term or short-term rental, you also require a valid EICR to operate a commercial property.
Yes, you must have a valid EICR for renting out your residential property in Scotland.
Yes, PAT testing is a legal requirement for all landlords and business owners.
Once your EPC is issued it is valid for 10-years.
As part of the landlord registration scheme in Edinburgh one of the requirements is to upload your LRA as well as the other relevant landlord certificates. It is also a legal requirement that the landlord carries out a risk assessment of the property that assesses the risk of exposure to legionella.
We recommend that fire alarms be tested as follows:
In residential homes – tests at least once a month.
In commercial environments – we suggest at least weekly tests conducted by the internal team with full tests by external experts at least yearly.
The cost of your safety check will depend on the number of gas appliances in the property.
When our electricians are at the property they will electronically fill out the certificate and send to our office to be processed. Our office will aim to have the certificate, invoice and any quote required emailed over to you within the hour of the job being completed. If you require the certificate quicker than that, our electrician can send the certificate directly to you before leaving the property.
It depends on the severity of the water exposure and the type of wiring. An electrician will need to inspect the wiring and any affected components. In some cases, drying out and testing the insulation resistance may be sufficient, but in other cases, replacing the wiring may be necessary to ensure safety.
