YourTrusted Local Electricians in Brechin & Angus
Experienced. Reliable. Based right here in Brechin.
James Leslie Founder & Head Electrician
Established in 2020, Brechin Electrician was built on a simple promise: to be the local sparky you can actually rely on.
Before starting the business, I served as an Electrical Engineer in the Royal Air Force. That experience taught me that "near-enough" isn't good enough. When you are working on aircraft, everything has to be precise, safe, and checked twice. We bring that same level of military precision to your home or business.
I also served as a Retained Firefighter with the Brechin Fire Service. I have seen firsthand the devastating dangers of unsafe electrics. That is why safety isn't just a box-ticking exercise for us—it is the foundation of everything we do.
Today, we are proud to be a trusted part of the Brechin community, located near the River South Esk, helping homeowners and businesses keep their lights on and their property safe.
