Electrician Dyce for homes, rented flats and the industrial units by the airport
NICEIC approved electricians for Dyce, coming in from Peterhead on the north side of Aberdeen. Fault finding is £80 to £150 + VAT for the first hour, a home EICR starts at £150 + VAT, a commercial EICR at £300 + VAT, and bigger work gets a free survey and a fixed written price. Ring 07304 027013 and tell us the address and the job.
Faithful Spark Electricians works in Dyce from 17 Thomson Road, Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, AB42 3FJ. We do not have an office in Dyce. Our own team, led by Steven Watt with Callum working alongside him, takes on house and flat work in the village and its estates, landlord inspections, and the testing and alterations that business units around Aberdeen Airport need. Every job is tested and certified to BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 under NICEIC enrolment 620239.
Standard jobs are usually booked within 5 to 10 working days, and urgent work such as a tenancy start or EICR remedials within 2 to 5. After a survey the written price follows within one working day. The phones are answered Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm on 07304 027013.
Know the area
Dyce is two places on one postcode: a residential village and a business district
Most suburbs we cover are mainly houses. Dyce is not. Knowing which side of it your property sits on tells us a lot about the job before we arrive.
Is Dyce in Aberdeen City or Aberdeenshire?
Dyce is in the Aberdeen City Council area. It has an AB21 postcode and sits about six miles north west of the city centre, beside Aberdeen Airport and the River Don. Some neighbouring places on AB21 postcodes are in Aberdeenshire, which is why people ask. For a Dyce address, any building warrant comes from Aberdeen City Council.
The village and its estates
The oldest houses sit around Victoria Street, the original village street. Larger estates followed as the airport and the oil industry grew, and there are newer homes towards the river. Older stone houses are where we expect original wiring and an early fuse board. Later estate homes more often need a modern consumer unit, extra circuits and a charger on the drive.
Kirkhill and the business parks
Kirkhill Industrial Estate, the Aberdeen International Business Park on Dyce Drive and the other estates around the airport hold offices, warehouses, workshops and yards. Those premises run bigger boards, often on three phase, and carry duties that a house does not, so they get their own section below.
Rented homes in a commuter suburb
Dyce has a railway station and quick road links into Aberdeen, so it suits people working at the airport, on the estates or in town, and a share of its homes are let. Every private let in Scotland needs an electrical inspection at least every five years, and we carry out those inspections for landlords and letting agents.
Not sure what your property needs? Call 07304 027013, tell us the street and whether it is a house, a flat or a unit, and we will tell you what we would look at first.

Three services have their own Dyce page with the detail. Every price here excludes VAT, and anything we can survey is fixed in writing before we start.

An old fuse box or early board replaced with an RCBO consumer unit, so one faulty appliance trips one circuit instead of half the house.
£550 to £950 + VAT
Home EV chargers
A smart 7.4kW charger for the driveway, with the supply, earthing and board checked first. OZEV authorised installer, reference EVHS/WCS14254.
From £900 + VAT
Rewiring
Full rewires for houses still on their original cable, and partial rewires where only a kitchen, an extension or one floor needs it. Priced after a survey.
£3,500 to £14,000 + VAT
Business units and offices
Commercial EICRs, three phase boards, emergency lighting, PAT testing and workplace charge points for premises around the airport.
Commercial EICR from £300 + VAT
Faults, sockets and small jobs
A breaker that will not reset, a dead circuit, extra sockets, outside lights or a new cooker circuit. Fault finding is £80 to £150 + VAT for the first hour.
Clear price before any work starts
Tell us the job and the Dyce postcode.
We say on the call whether the job needs a free survey first. No call out fee for a quote, and the written price follows within one working day of the survey.
Offices, warehouses and workshops
Electrical work for business premises in Dyce
An employer or landlord in Dyce has a legal duty to keep the electrical system safe. Regulation 4(2) of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 requires systems to be maintained so as to prevent danger, so far as is reasonably practicable, and a periodic inspection and test is the accepted way to show it. That is the work we do most for units on the estates around the airport.
- Commercial EICRs from £300 + VAT. For a small unit, priced on circuit count and the number of boards. Larger sites are priced once we have seen the distribution.
- Three phase boards and supplies. New and replacement distribution boards, sub mains and circuits for machinery, compressors and workshop equipment.
- Emergency lighting to BS 5266. Installed, tested and certified, so the escape routes your fire risk assessment covers stay lit.
- PAT testing. NICEIC certifies the business for portable appliance testing, which can be booked alongside the EICR.
- Workplace charge points. A single commercial charge point is £800 to £1,500 + VAT, depending on the cable route and the board.
Shutdowns are planned with you in advance and carried out within our opening hours, Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm, so you know exactly when the power goes off and for how long. Hazardous area (ATEX) installations need a specialist contractor; for the testing, alterations and repairs that keep an ordinary unit running, we are the people to call. For larger fit outs and maintenance contracts, see our commercial electrician in Aberdeen page.
Prices
How much does an electrician cost in Dyce?
Every job gets a clear price before any work starts, and most jobs we can survey are priced as a fixed job. When you compare quotes, check whether a figure covers the whole job, and whether VAT is included.
Repairs and small jobs
Repairs and small jobs that cannot be scoped until we see them get a clear price before any work starts. Fault finding is £80 to £150 + VAT for the first hour, because tracing a fault takes test equipment and time before anything is repaired.
Fixed price work
An EICR, a new board, a rewire or a charger is quoted as a fixed job after a free survey. The price you accept is the price you pay. If we find a new fault part way through, you get its cost before we touch it.
| Job in Dyce | Our guide price | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Fault finding, first hour | £80 to £150 + VAT | How quickly the fault shows itself. The repair is priced before we start it. |
| Home EICR | From £150 + VAT | Covers the main board and five circuits. Each extra circuit is £15 + VAT; a garage or second board is £70 + VAT plus £15 + VAT per circuit on it. |
| Consumer unit upgrade | £550 to £950 + VAT | Number of circuits, surge protection, and what the old board was hiding. |
| Smart 7.4kW home EV charger | £900 to £1,300 + VAT | Charger model, and any cable run beyond 15 metres. |
| Rewire, three bed semi | £5,000 to £10,000 + VAT | Room count, access under floors, extensions and outbuildings. |
| Small commercial EICR | From £300 + VAT | Circuit count and the number of boards. |
| Commercial charge point, single | £800 to £1,500 + VAT | Distance from the board and the route across the site. |

Paperwork
How do you get an electrical certificate for a property in Dyce?
You get it from the electrician who did the work or the inspection, and which certificate depends on the job. Every certificate we issue carries our NICEIC enrolment number, 620239.
Electrical Installation Certificate
Issued for new work: a new circuit, a consumer unit change, a rewire or an EV charger. It records the design, the installation and the test results.
Minor Works Certificate
Issued for an addition or alteration that does not create a new circuit, such as an extra socket or a moved light on an existing circuit.
EICR
A report on the condition of an existing installation. It is the document landlords, buyers and insurers ask for, and the one to book if you hold no paperwork at all.
Emergency lighting certificate
For business premises, issued after emergency lighting is installed or tested to BS 5266, and kept with the fire risk assessment.
Had work done in the past with no certificate? Nobody can certify an installation they did not carry out, but an EICR will tell you whether it is safe and record its condition. Call 07304 027013 to book one.
Scotland, not England
The rules that apply to electrical work in Dyce
Plenty of advice online is written for England and Wales. These are the points that apply to a house, flat or unit in AB21.
Part P does not apply
Part P is a building regulation for England and Wales and has never applied in Scotland. A quote for a Dyce job that mentions it was written for the wrong country.
Warrants come from Aberdeen City Council
Rewiring an existing house of up to two storeys does not need a building warrant. A flat or maisonette, or a building of three storeys or more, does, and the owner applies to Aberdeen City Council. We tell you at survey and note it on the quote.
Landlords inspect every five years
A private let in Scotland needs an electrical inspection at least every five years, covering the fixed wiring and any appliances the landlord provides. We keep a note of when the next one is due.
EICR codes under Amendment 4
Under BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 a C1 or C2 makes an EICR unsatisfactory. C3 and FI are advisory, but an FI in a rented home should still be investigated as soon as practicable. We explain each code in plain words and price any remedials separately.
