A large proportion of Glasgow's sandstone tenements date from the city's peak Victorian and Edwardian growth as a shipbuilding and heavy engineering centre, meaning much of the wiring predates modern regulations by well over a century, even where it's been partially updated since.
Why a site visit matters
Given how many Glasgow flats have a patchwork wiring history, an electrician genuinely can't give an accurate full-rewire quote without inspecting the property first. Be cautious of a fixed price given without a visit.
What's actually included
A full rewire should include a new consumer unit, complete new cabling, socket and switch replacement, and an Electrical Installation Condition Report at completion, from a NICEIC or SELECT-registered electrician - SELECT being the Scottish equivalent trade body worth checking for, alongside the UK-wide schemes.
