A proper local electrician for Kinghorn.

Kinghorn is a small coastal town of around 2,900 people sitting on a headland between Burntisland and Kirkcaldy, with Pettycur Bay to the south, Kinghorn beach and the harbour below the town, and a station on the Fife Circle and the Edinburgh to Aberdeen line, so a good number of people commute out of it. It is a royal burgh from the twelfth century, and it is where King Alexander III died in 1286, an event that set off the Wars of Independence and is marked by the monument on the A921 at Pettycur. The railway viaduct of 1846 cut the old village in two, Kinghorn Loch above the town once powered the flax mills, and Pettycur Bay is holiday-park country.

The housing is largely older stone-built property along the Nethergate, High Street and the streets around the harbour, with twentieth-century streets and some newer homes behind, the kind of stock where the wiring and the fuse board have often been in place a long time. That makes board upgrades and rewires the regular jobs here, along with holiday-let and rental EICRs, which every let in Scotland needs at least every five years under the Repairing Standard, from £200. Kinghorn is a short run along the coast from base in Dalgety Bay, so Jack is there quickly, and every job is tested and certified to BS 7671.

Coastal weather and old wiring between them throw up the faults, and Jack covers Kinghorn for 24/7 emergency call-outs from Dalgety Bay. He answers his own phone day or night, so a house with no power, a board that will not stay reset, a scorched socket or a burning smell gets a fast, first-hand response along the A921, and the fault gets found and fixed properly rather than reset and left.

For planned work, the fuse board is where most older Kinghorn houses should start: an old rewireable box or an early consumer unit with no RCD protection swapped for a modern 18th-edition unit with full RCBO and surge protection, from £700, fitted in a day and certified. If the cable underneath is at the end of its life Jack will say so and price a rewire straight, and where a newer home has a driveway an EV charger, from £900 for a Hypervolt, Zappi or Ohme fitted in a day, is a simple job with the board checked at the same time.
