About Flexicomm Electrical Blog

Written by residential electrical safety engineers serving private landlords, letting agencies, and homeowners across mainland Scotland.

Why We Publish Plain-English Compliance Guides

Electrical safety regulations in Scotland can feel unnecessarily opaque. Between the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006, the Scottish Repairing Standard, and BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 (18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations), landlords and home buyers are often handed technical jargon when they simply need to know what is safe, what is legally required, and what needs fixing first.

Our Exclusive Residential Focus

Flexicomm Electrical Services focuses exclusively on domestic residential properties across mainland Scotland—covering Greater Glasgow, Edinburgh & The Lothians, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire, Fife, Central Scotland, Aberdeen, and the Scottish Highlands with fixed pricing and zero mileage surcharges.

We do not undertake commercial contracting or industrial plant installations, and we are distinctly separate from the telecommunications platform flexicomm.net.
