I have used Ideal Electrical for several years and thoroughly recommend them. As a landlord, I have lots of HMO regulations to adhere to – Ideal Electrical make the whole process so much easier. They have installed smoke / heat detectors in all my properties etc, resolved issues, upgraded electrical issues to ensure safety and compliance to regs, even serviced fire extinguishers etc. They are professional, polite, extremely helpful and go the extra mile to ensure the work is done to the
highest standard. I recommend Ideal Electrical to all my friends / family and wouldn’t look anywhere else.

HMO Landlord, Edinburgh
I found Ideal Electrical Solutions to be really helpful. I used them to carry out tests required for getting a property ready for rental. The service was professional and the advice given was really helpful. They can carry out all the tests required and send you one invoice so it saves you having to go to different people for different things. The value for money was good too.

IES have done some compliance testing at a number of properties for us. They were always punctual and efficient and helpful in explaining any remedial work that was required. Reporting back with paperwork was also very easy. All in all an excellent experience.
