Local to Eyemouth
Eyemouth, the harbour and the Berwickshire coastal villages
Eyemouth is about twenty miles from our Coldstream base and unlike anywhere else in our patch. It is a genuine working port with fish processing, marine trades, a busy harbour and a large seasonal visitor economy, wrapped around a tight core of old housing. The electrical demands are correspondingly mixed: heavy commercial and processing loads, hospitality and holiday-let compliance, and domestic property that has spent a century and a half in salt air.
Where we work in and around Eyemouth
Our coverage takes in Eyemouth town and harbour, the caravan and holiday parks, and the coastal villages either side, Burnmouth, Coldingham, St Abbs, Reston and Ayton, plus the farms on the coastal plain behind them. The whole TD14 area is normal working territory.
Getting to Eyemouth
Eyemouth is a thirty to thirty-five minute run from Coldstream, and we are on the coast regularly. Free quotes supplied. For existing commercial customers, processing units, harbour businesses, hospitality, out-of-hours cover is available where a fault would spoil stock or close the doors, which on a chilled or frozen product is a matter of hours rather than days.
Property types we know here
The town centre holds tightly packed 18th and 19th century stone housing and flats, much of it now let or used as holiday accommodation. Around it are post-war and modern estates, harbourside commercial and processing premises with three-phase supplies and heavy refrigeration, hotels, pubs and cafés, caravan parks with distributed hook-up supplies, and farms inland. Almost all of it is within a mile or two of open sea.
What Eyemouth customers call us for
Common Eyemouth work includes EICRs and fire detection for holiday lets and HMOs, commercial maintenance and refrigeration-related electrical work around the harbour, replacement of corroded external fittings and supplies, rewires and consumer unit upgrades in older stone property, CCTV and intruder alarms for yards and business premises, emergency lighting for hospitality, and EV charging and solar installations for homes, businesses and visitor accommodation.

Why Eyemouth customers use WPP Electrical
We understand coastal installations
Over 40 years working this coastline means we specify for salt and exposure by default: the wrong enclosure at Eyemouth harbour will not last, and we do not learn that at your expense.
Commercial and processing capability
Nine full-time electricians, most of our work commercial, industrial and agricultural, including three-phase and refrigeration-related installations.
Fully accredited
SELECT 17074, ECA 1683735, NSI approved for fire, BAFE registered (SP203), MCS via NAPIT NEP-66400, OZEV approved and RECC registered.
Insurance and site approval
£10m employers' liability, £5m public liability and SMAS Worksafe SSIP accreditation for harbour and commercial site access.
Local conditions
Coastal conditions and old harbour housing: the recurring faults
Eyemouth's electrical problems are dominated by one factor, salt-laden air, followed closely by the age and density of the housing and the demands of a seasonal economy.
-
Salt corrosion on everything external
External sockets, isolators, lighting, glands, metal enclosures and even fixings degrade far faster here than inland. Corroded terminations create high-resistance joints, which mean heat, intermittent faults and eventually failure.
-
Wind-driven rain and water ingress
Exposed elevations take horizontal rain. Poorly sealed external accessories and roof penetrations let water into enclosures and cable routes, which shows up as tripping in wet weather and nowhere else.
-
Seasonal load swings
Holiday accommodation, caravan parks and hospitality go from near-empty to full capacity within weeks. Installations that cope in February can be marginal in July, and it is the distribution and protective devices that reveal it.
-
Refrigeration and processing loads
Chilled and frozen storage puts continuous heavy demand on supplies and control gear. Ageing starters, poor power factor and undersized submains cost money quietly and stop production suddenly.
-
Dense, damp older housing
Tightly built stone property in the old town holds moisture, has limited routing options and often carries decades of amended wiring, a combination that makes proper rewiring the honest answer rather than another patch.

Before you call
Eyemouth electricians: your questions answered
Do you serve Eyemouth?
Yes. Eyemouth, the harbour and the surrounding coastal villages including Burnmouth, Coldingham, St Abbs and Ayton are all within our normal working area.
How fast can you get to Eyemouth?
It is roughly thirty to thirty-five minutes from our Coldstream workshop. Free quotes supplied.
What does electrical work cost in Eyemouth?
Each job is quoted individually, free and fixed before we begin. Coastal work sometimes needs better-rated materials, and we will explain that in the quote rather than surprise you later.
Do you provide emergency cover for harbour businesses?
Out-of-hours cover is available for existing commercial and industrial customers where a fault threatens stock or trading, refrigeration failures being the obvious example.
Can you handle three-phase and refrigeration-related work?
Yes. Three-phase distribution, machinery and plant connections and planned maintenance are core parts of our industrial work.
Do you do EICRs for holiday lets in Eyemouth?
Yes. Electrical installation condition reports for holiday accommodation, HMOs and rental property, with a clear report and fixed prices for any remedial work.
Are you approved for fire alarm installation?
We are NSI approved (NSI-000082/FS/S) for fire and BAFE registered (SP203), covering design, installation and maintenance of fire detection and alarm systems.
Is solar viable on the Berwickshire coast?

Can you install EV chargers for a hotel or caravan park?
Yes, as an OZEV approved installer, including multi-point commercial installations designed around your available supply capacity.
