We have had used Nicholson Bros two times in the last couple of months. They fitted new smoke and heat alarms, ceiling spotlights across a number of rooms, outside spotlight/Ring camera and also some wall /pendent lights. We found the team very professional, work carried out to a high standard and very pleasant to liaise with. Overall delighted with their service and we would be very happy to use them again.

Nicholson Brothers completed a full electrical rewiring of our flat, which we hired them to do after receiving quotes for the work from three suppliers. The quote from Nicholson Brothers was the cheapest of the three but the work was completed in a timely fashion and on schedule, and to a high standard. The two electricians from Nicholson Brothers, Ronnie and Darren, were friendly and professional, kept us well appraised of the work that was being done, and consulted with us when decisions needed to be made. We only had two small issues with the completed job, and these have been resolved promptly by Nicholson Brothers. As such, we would happily recommend the company to anyone else requiring electrical work on their property.

I had an EV charger fitted by Nicholson Bros in March. Delighted with the job - they were v.professional - courteous, helpful, neat job and tidied up afterwards. Makes such a difference when you encounter people that take real pride on their work.

Nicolson Bros did a full rewire on the flat. They did a great job of the electrics in good time. They took care not to damage the original cornicing in the flat and the standard was very good.

Nicholson Bros (Electrical Contractors) Ltd supplied and fitted a small extractor fan in a small toilet area and a trickle vent in a newly fitted door.
The men arrived on time and completed the work quickly and efficiently, all at what I thought was a very reasonable cost.

Fitting new LED security light at the back of the house. Very pleased overall with this firm. Initial enquiry and invoicing handled very promptly. Engineers arrived exactly at the pre-arranged time and the installation was efficiently completed within half an hour. The new light was tested when dark later the same evening, and it seems to be working as designed and as set by the electricians. Would use this firm again.

I engaged Nicholson Bros to undertake a survey and remedial action when I moved house. Unlike a number of other contractors approached They responded promptly and attentively even though ours was a comparatively small domestic assignment. We had a range of tasks spanning light fittings, moving sockets and a replacement supply board. The work was done promptly and by clearly knowledgeable skilled staff who were used to working in people’s homes. When an issue occurred re: an item installed the faulty units were replaced swiftly at no charge and returned to the manufacturer for their own testing. Electrics like plumbing are the key to a home being a home and I feel that I have received a good quality service with the security of an established local company which values its reputation.

The work recently undertaken was the third time we have used Nicholson Bros and on this occasion it was a full re-wire of our house & garage.
The work took the best part of seven days and each day the 2 x electricians were fully committed to the (day's) tasks and at the end of each day the working areas were left in a safe & tidy condition. I would highly recommend Nicholson Bros to anyone wishing to have their electrical systems installed / upgraded to the most recent appropriate British Standards.

Nicholson were extremely prompt in responding to my email enquiry and clarified a quote based on photos I supplied. They arrived exactly on time and completed the basic electrical work to a high standard and without any fuss or mess. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the future.

This was a partial rewiring job to be completed to a tight deadline prior to me moving into my new home. After a short delay at the start the job was finished on time and at the quoted price. I was surprised at the amount of snagging but when I pointed it out it was all put right promptly and I wasn't asked to pay anything until the job was completed to my satisfaction.

Nicholson Brothers is my idea of a reliable, efficient, and trustworthy company. From the person on the phone, who listens and hears what is being said, to the tradesman who comes to perform the task, everyone with whom I came in contact performed as promised. The work was done with professional competence, and the bill didn't break the bank.
I have no hesitation in recommending this company - and this is not based on a one-off call-out, I have used their services on several occasions over the years; they only get better.

I have been using Nicholson Bros for about 10 years. They service and maintain my electrical appliances at 3 properties that I own in Edinburgh.
They provide an excellent value-for-money service. They also have provided me with advice on electrical matters. Where they also score much higher than other tradesmen is in communication. I know that if I contact Nicholson Bros by email that I will get a response within 24 hours. That is rare in my experience for dealing with tradesmen.
