Prices
What an electrician costs in Fraserburgh
These are our own 2026 rates. Ask any firm you are comparing whether its figure includes VAT and whether it covers the whole job.
How are small jobs priced in Fraserburgh?
Repairs and small jobs get a clear price before any work starts, and the first hour of fault finding is £80 to £150 + VAT. Work we agree in advance outside opening hours is priced when you book.
When is the price fixed?
Anything we can survey first gets a fixed price: a board change, a rewire, an EV charger. Repairs that cannot be scoped until we are on site are priced once we have found the cause, before we start the repair. If we find a new fault part way through a fixed price job, you hear the cost before we touch it.

| Fault finding, first hour | £80 to £150 + VAT | How quickly the fault can be traced. The repair is priced before we start it. |
| Emergency call out, first hour included | £150 to £250 + VAT | The work needed to make the installation safe. |
| Domestic EICR | From £150 + VAT | Covers the main board and first 5 circuits. Extra circuits and extra boards are charged on top. |

Working in the Broch
What makes electrical work in Fraserburgh different
Four things shape most jobs in the town, and each one changes what we recommend and how we price it.
Salt air and the North Sea
Fraserburgh takes the weather straight off the sea, and salt air attacks outside electrics far faster than cable inside a dry wall. Meter boxes, outdoor sockets, isolators, cable glands and outside lights corrode first. On seafront addresses we fit coastal grade fittings as standard, and we look hard at every outside part on an inspection.
Granite and post war housing
A solid granite wall has no cavity, so every concealed cable route is planned before anyone cuts into stone, and surface trunking is the answer where a wall is worth keeping. The post war housing around Kirkton and Broadsea is a different job again. We survey each house on what is actually in it.
Flats, tenements and rented homes
Plenty of town centre homes are flats in shared buildings, some above shops. Your own flat's wiring and consumer unit belong to the owner or landlord and get their own EICR, while the shared stair lighting and supply are a matter for all the owners. We test yours and flag anything shared in writing. Landlords and HMO owners can book two or three nearby properties for the same day.
Harbour and fishing businesses
Fish processing halls, cold stores, wash down areas, chandlers and harbour offices are wet, salty, high load places to wire. We carry out commercial EICRs, three phase work and planned maintenance, quoted once we have seen the boards. Small commercial EICRs start at £300 + VAT.

What a rewire with us involves
- A survey first. We look at the walls, floors and loft before pricing, then give you a fixed written price.
- A warrant check. We tell you at survey whether the building needs a building warrant from Aberdeenshire Council.
- A certificate at the end. The finished installation is tested and certified to BS 7671:2018+A4:2026.

Before you book anyone
How to choose an approved electrician in Fraserburgh
Three questions Fraserburgh households ask before they let an electrician in, each answered with a source you can check yourself.
How do I get an approved electrician?
Start from a register rather than a search result. The NICEIC tradesperson search and the Electrical Safety First registered electrician search list firms assessed by a scheme provider. Then ask for the company number, a public liability certificate and the name of whoever is coming. Ours are company SC821028, £2M public liability and our own team, and we are happy to be checked before you book.
What is the difference between an electrician and an approved electrician?
The word approved is used for two different things. Approved Electrician is an industry grade held by a person, above plain Electrician and shown on their ECS card. The Scottish Government's Repairing Standard guidance (Annex D3, D.61) lists that grade in the competence checklist for an electrician not covered by a scheme. NICEIC Approved Contractor is a firm level registration, where the business and its work are assessed against BS 7671 every year. We hold the second one, so ask any firm which they mean.
Who can install an EV charger in Fraserburgh?
The law asks for a competent person and a certified installation, because a charger is a new circuit that BS 7671 covers in Section 722. For the government chargepoint grant, which is for renters and flat owners with private off street parking, the installer must be OZEV authorised. City and Guilds 2921-34 is the EV charging award to ask for. We are OZEV authorised under EVHS/WCS14254 and Steven Watt holds 2921-34. Packages from £900 + VAT are in the EV charger card above.
Scotland, not England
The rules that apply to a Fraserburgh job
Fraserburgh falls under Aberdeenshire Council. Plenty of national advice is written for England, so these four points matter.
Part P does not apply
It is an England and Wales building regulation. A quote or certificate that mentions it for a Fraserburgh job was written for the wrong country. Work here follows the Scottish building standards.
Warrants depend on the building
Rewiring an existing house of up to two storeys needs no building warrant. A rewire in a flat or maisonette, or in a building of three storeys or more, does, and the owner applies to Aberdeenshire Council. We say at survey whether yours needs one and put the answer on the quote.
Landlords inspect every five years
A private let needs an electrical safety inspection at least every five years, covering the fixed wiring and the appliances the landlord supplies. We keep track of the renewal date for you.
EICR coding changed in 2026
On a report under BS 7671:2018+A4:2026, only C1 and C2 make the result unsatisfactory. C3 and FI are advisory, although an FI in a rented home should still be investigated promptly. We explain each code in plain English and quote any remedial work separately.
Not sure whether your job needs a warrant?
Ask on the phone or at the survey. The answer goes on your written quote with the price.

Do you charge extra to come to Fraserburgh?
Most addresses within about an hour of Peterhead carry no travel surcharge. In remote rural Aberdeenshire a small travel charge may apply. If it does, you are told the amount when you book, never after the work. Outside the town and its villages, see our page on electricians across Aberdeenshire or all areas we cover.
Who turns up
Our own team, not a referral service
Steven Watt runs Faithful Spark Electricians. He started as a Royal Navy apprentice in 2001, founded the business in 2023 and incorporated Faithful Spark Electricians Ltd on 29 August 2024. Steven leads our own team, with Callum working alongside him. Your enquiry is not sold on to whichever firm happens to be nearest, and you know who is coming before you book.
Steven holds City and Guilds 2391-52 (inspection and testing), 2382-22 (the BS 7671 wiring regulations), 2365-03 (Level 3 electrical installations) and 2921-34 (EV charging installation). The business is NICEIC certified, TrustMark registered, an OZEV authorised installer and carries £2M public liability insurance. We are based in Peterhead rather than Fraserburgh, so we plan Fraserburgh work around the diary and tell you plainly when we can be there.

FAQs
Questions Fraserburgh customers ask us
Not covered here? Call 07304 027013 in opening hours or send us a message.
How much does an electrician cost in Fraserburgh?
Small jobs and repairs get a clear price before any work starts, and fault finding is £80 to £150 + VAT for the first hour. A domestic EICR starts at £150 + VAT, a consumer unit upgrade is £550 to £950 + VAT and a smart home EV charger starts at £900 + VAT. A three bedroom semi rewire is £5,000 to £10,000 + VAT, and granite houses are quoted after a survey. Anything bigger than a small job gets a fixed written price.
Are you a mobile electrician in Fraserburgh?
Yes. We have no shop to visit, because we are a van based team that travels to your property from our Peterhead base. Small jobs get a clear price before any work starts, and larger jobs get a free survey and a fixed written price.
How quickly can an electrician get to me in Fraserburgh?
Most standard jobs are booked within 5 to 10 working days. Urgent work, such as a tenancy start or remedial work after an EICR, usually takes 2 to 5. A genuine safety problem is seen the same day inside opening hours, and the written quote follows within one working day of the survey.
Do you charge extra to travel to Fraserburgh?
Most addresses within about an hour of Peterhead carry no travel surcharge. In remote rural Aberdeenshire a small charge may apply, and it is confirmed when you book, never added to the invoice afterwards.
Can you attend an electrical emergency in Fraserburgh?
Yes, inside opening hours: Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm. For a burning smell, sparking or an RCD that will not reset, call 07304 027013 and we aim to attend the same day. An emergency call out is £150 to £250 + VAT including the first hour.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents in Fraserburgh?
Yes. We carry out EICRs, remedial work and PAT testing on rented homes and HMOs. A domestic EICR starts at £150 + VAT, and we can inspect two or three nearby properties in one day. Only C1 and C2 observations make an Amendment 4 report unsatisfactory.
Does Part P apply to electrical work in Fraserburgh?
No. Part P is an England and Wales building regulation and has never applied in Scotland. Electrical work in Fraserburgh follows the Scottish building standards, and where a building warrant is needed it comes from Aberdeenshire Council.
