Fabulous service from Spartan today. Small job to replace LED strip lighting in our kitchen. Stripped out the old ones and fitted a new one without any bother. All cleaned up and nice and tidy afterwards. Very glad to have found Spartan in case we need electrical work done again.

Spartan Electrical Scotland Ltd are a fantastic company. Stuart fitted a new ceiling light and cooker hood for me, to which he did an excellent job. He arrived on time and was very neat and tidy. I will be using Spartan again for other jobs. I highly recommend their services and excellent customer service.

Spartan just fit new lights and sockets in my whole shop as well as a bit of prior rewiring and a new fuse box that was well over due.They did an excellent job. Managed to get the job done faster than expected and actually suggested some changes in the initial plan that saved me some money.They left the place clean and tidy and were professional throughout. Good communication and workmanship.Would definitely use again

Spartan Electrical recently installed our solar panels and an EV charger, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, their service was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable.Carlos and Chris were easily contactable throughout the project and the aftercare they provide (for no extra charge) isn’t something you’d get with other companies. They’re not salespeople trying to push a product and aren’t afraid to say if they think you don’t need something. The technical advice they provided was both honest and detailed, and it’s the kind of insight you wouldn’t get from a larger, more sales‑driven company.We found their pricing to be competitive compared to other quotes we received, and we’ve used them for smaller electrical jobs too.

I highly recommend Spartan Electrical! I found the team very reliable, efficient and friendly. Also, dealing with Spartan Electrical was easy and convenient from the very beginning to the end.After having reached out to them, they came back quickly and provided a competitive quote promptly. Chris and Carlos arrived for the inspection within the agreed timescale, they kept us updated via an email and phone when necessary, they did the good job on site and provided updates throughout the process of carrying out works.Chris and Carlos are very knowledgable, professional as well as very kind and friendly. I truly recommend Spartan Electrical to anyone! I’ll definitely be a returning customer. Thank you for your excellent service!

Why choose Spartan Electrical Scotland Ltd?
Spartan Electrical Scotland is run by Chris Reilly and Carlos Tomas Callado, two qualified electricians who set the company up in 2021 because they saw too many customers being let down by poor communication, late arrivals and substandard work. Their answer was straightforward: a local, NAPIT registered firm where the people you meet on site are the people whose name is on the door.
Every quote is free, every certificate is included, and every job is explained before any work starts. We talk you through the options, including the trade-offs, so the decision you make is yours and not a sales pitch. We do not work on commission and we do not upsell.
We cover everything a home or small commercial property needs electrically: consumer unit upgrades, EV chargers, EICR inspections, full house rewires, planned maintenance, solar PV with Sigenergy batteries, and LED lighting with smart controls. If we are not the right people for a particular job, we will say so and point you somewhere reliable.
We are based in Edinburgh and we work across the Lothians, Fife, the Borders, Livingston and Glasgow. Many of our customers come back to us for the next job or recommend us to friends, neighbours and letting-agent contacts. That kind of word-of-mouth is the thing we are proudest of.
