Raymond carried out an EICR on one of our HMOs in Edinburgh and the report was the clearest we have ever had. Sensible coding, plain-English summary, PDF in our inbox inside 48 hours. We have moved the rest of the portfolio across.
Professional electrical testing in Glasgow and Edinburgh
We cover Central Scotland, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Falkirk, Cumbernauld, Coatbridge, Motherwell, Airdrie, and anywhere within roughly a 60-minute drive of our Chryston base. For larger commercial jobs and portfolio work we travel further; just ask.
Knowire Installations Ltd was incorporated at Companies House in 2020 (company number SC657223), founded by Raymond Garyfalou, who has been working in electrical testing and compliance since 2016. Raymond personally attends most jobs and is responsible for the standard of every report we issue.
Yes. Knowire is a NICEIC Approved Contractor, independently assessed to ensure our work meets the BS 7671 wiring regulations and current UK electrical safety standards. NICEIC approval is what makes our reports defensible in front of insurers, councils and compliance teams.
Our standard hours are Monday to Friday, 08:00 – 16:30, with Saturday morning slots (08:00 – 12:00) available for commercial sites that prefer to be tested outside trading hours. We do not currently offer 24-hour callouts; for booked-in commercial work this is rarely an issue.
Yes. Email hello@knowire.co.uk or call 07776 040 412 with the building type, the number of distribution boards or consumer units in scope, and any compliance deadlines you are working to. We will come back with a clear written quote, no hidden extras.
Bank transfer is our preferred method for commercial clients; we also accept card payments and cheques on request. Invoices are issued on completion of the on-site work, and the insurer-ready PDF report is delivered on receipt of payment.
Commercial EICR pricing depends on the number of distribution boards, consumer units and circuits in scope. A single small commercial unit typically starts around £150. Larger commercial sites, HMO portfolios, and multi-DB industrial premises can run anywhere up to £100,000 across a programme. We provide a clear written quote after a short scoping conversation about what is involved.
It depends on the size of the job and the date you need it completed by. Most single-site commercial EICRs in Central Scotland can be scheduled within one to two weeks. For tighter compliance windows, insurer renewals, sale conditions, or council deadlines, tell us the date you need and we will do our best to fit you in.
Your insurer-ready EICR PDF and supporting paperwork are issued within 48 to 72 hours of completing the on-site inspection, on receipt of payment. For multi-site programmes we agree a reporting cadence at the start so your compliance records stay up to date.
Yes. We carry out the remedial works ourselves, bringing the installation up to BS 7671 compliance. Remedial works are quoted separately from the EICR itself, so you see the scope and price in isolation and can decide whether to proceed with us or have your own contractor handle it.
We always aim to complete remedial works within a week of the EICR being issued, depending on the scale of the findings and any specialist parts that need ordering. For larger programmes we agree a phased plan so the building's occupants or operations are disrupted as little as possible.
Fixed-wire testing across the installation to BS 7671, a full Electrical Installation Condition Report, conservative and justified coding, photographic evidence of observations, an asset register covering distribution boards and sub-mains, and a clear separation between genuine safety issues and advisory items. Everything is delivered as an insurer-ready PDF.
