TAIN · FEARN · PORTMAHOMACK · BALINTORE · NIGG
Highland Sparks is based at 7 Pinewood Place, Tain. Easter Ross is our home patch — you're 10 minutes from the van most days. EICRs, PAT, rewires, EV chargers, emergency work. Same service the rest of the Highlands gets, without the travel bill.
We provide electrical inspection and testing in Tain and Easter Ross. If the EICR is unsatisfactory, we’ll discuss the findings with you, explain the recommended remedial work and provide a quotation where required.
Portmahomack, Hilton, Balintore, Shandwick — a lot of holiday lets, a lot of second homes, a lot of older properties. Common jobs: pre-purchase EICRs for buyers, STL compliance packs for new Airbnb owners, board changes on houses that haven't been touched since the 90s. If you're buying somewhere on the peninsula, get an EICR done before you close — it's the best money you'll spend on the sale.
The industrial end. Fabrication yards, workshops, business units. Three-phase testing, PAT for staffed sites, fault-finding on equipment. We do the annual EICR on quite a few of the smaller units around the old fabrication yard — quick turnaround, minimal disruption, done on a weekend if the site's live during the week.
If the board's tripping and won't reset, or you've got no power to half the house, ring us. Most emergency calls from Tain, Alness or the peninsula we're on within the hour. Work quoted at the door before we start — you see the price before we lift a screwdriver.
