Business Information
At Harkins & Vickers Electrical Solutions, we provide safe, reliable, and professional electrical services for homeowners. Whether you need a small repair, a full rewire, or modern upgrades to your home’s electrics, we deliver clear advice, high-quality workmanship, and work that complies fully with current UK regulations.
Electrical Installations -
We carry out all types of domestic electrical installations, from additional sockets and lighting upgrades to complete electrical systems for renovations and extensions. Every installation is carefully planned, neatly finished, and tested to ensure long-term safety and performance.
Rewires and Upgrades -
Older electrical systems can be unsafe, inefficient, and unsuitable for modern living. We provide full and partial rewires, as well as targeted upgrades to improve capacity, safety, and reliability. If you’re renovating, extending, or buying an older property, we’ll assess what’s needed and explain your options clearly.
Lighting Solutions -
Good lighting transforms a home. We install internal and external lighting, including LED upgrades, feature lighting, garden lighting, and security lighting. Our focus is on practical design, energy efficiency, and clean installation—no messy cabling or rushed finishes.
Consumer Unit (Fuse Board) Replacements -
An outdated fuse board is one of the biggest electrical safety risks in a home. We replace old units with modern consumer units fitted with RCD and RCBO protection, improving safety and compliance while giving you peace of mind.
Electrical Fault Finding and Repairs -
If something isn’t working properly—or keeps tripping—we’ll find the fault and fix it properly, not just mask the problem. We carry out systematic testing to identify issues safely and efficiently, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Electrical Safety Inspections and Testing -
We offer Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for homeowners, landlords, and buyers. These inspections check the safety of your electrical system and highlight any issues clearly, without exaggeration or scare tactics.
Smart Home and Modern Upgrades -
From smart lighting and heating controls to USB sockets and EV charger installations, we help homeowners modernise their properties with practical, future-ready solutions that actually add value and convenience.
How We Work -
We treat every home with respect. That means turning up when we say we will, explaining work in plain English, keeping things tidy, and completing jobs to a professional standard. Safety and compliance are never optional, and we don’t cut corners.
Whether it’s a small job or a major upgrade, our aim is simple: safe electrics, done properly.

Needed a replacement of bathroom extractor fan and a check for electric shower. Very prompt response from them for scheduling and details they needed for the work. The electricians Kamila and Paul are really polite and professional and I am very impressed overall! Highly recommended!

When I moved into my current home, I had Keith Gunn in to test the electrical system; remove old, redundant electrical items (like boxes and sensors from a burglar alarm system that no longer worked, and a plug point with an external cable running up from another plug point and stuck half-way up a wall); make safe some dodgy wiring in the attic; and to replace all the switches, plug sockets and lights, and the consumer unit (fusebox). Everyone I dealt with - the office staff, estimator and three electricians who carried out the work - was very pleasant, helpful and professional. The electricians were good-natured and dealt professionally with unexpected issues to do with the peculiar wiring already in the house. They worked hard to ensure the work was done in good time and tidied up after themselves. I've deleted the contact details I had for other electricians as I will have no hesitation in using Keith Gunn for all future electrical work.

When we were unable to buy replacement bulbs we contacted Keith Gunn, who we have used before, to advise. As the light fittings were more than 20 years old we decided to replace all the ceiling lights in the hall and the bathrooms. Keith Gunn kept us informed as to the install date and time. When the electrician came to fit the lights he was very professional answered all our concerns and the work was completely quickly and efficiently. The electrician also tidied up as he went along

I have used Keith Gunn Electrical Solutions several times with a different electrician each time. Every single one of them is polite, punctual, explains what needs to be done clearly and tidies up any mess afterwards. This time they sorted out my smoke alarm system to bring it up to date with the new Scottish guidelines. Will continue to use them for all electrical work. Online booking system is also really useful.

Keith Gunn bent over backwards to get our smoke and heat alarms installed at a very difficult time when supplies were difficult to get hold of. Communication was excellent and the job was carried out efficiently and with no hassle or mess. Highly recommended.

We had an emergency when a leak from the bathroom above came through the light fitting in the kitchen. Keith Gunn Electrical Solutions came that afternoon and quickly made the fitting safe and restored it a few days later. Very prompt service and easy to deal with.

As a busy landlord who has been let down by many tradesmen, I was delighted with the work carried out by Keith Gunn Electrical. The stair lighting issue was repaired within a very short time and I was kept informed of the electricians arrival and departure time. The cause of the issue was also explained to me in a very helpful manner. I would definitely recommend this company to other landlords and property owners.
