Homes and wiring in Scotland
Scotland's cities have a large share of tenement and four-in-a-block flats, where wiring may run through shared closes and older installations are common. Since 2022, Scottish homes have been required to have interlinked smoke and heat alarms, which has made alarm installation a familiar job for local electricians.

In Scotland, electrical work is covered by Scottish building standards rather than Part P. Choose an electrician familiar with the rules north of the border, and ask for certification for the work. How to choose an electrician.
