We do. The an EICR prices on this page already include jobs in Kilmington, Musbury, Chardstock, Hawkchurch. Village visits are usually booked on the same days as Axminster work, so the next slot (in 6 days) normally applies to you too.

The report will list C1 (danger now) and C2 (potentially dangerous) items, plus FI where more checking is needed.

Question 8

How do Axminster prices for an EICR compare with Seaton?

Accepted Answer

Axminster typically comes in at £205 and Seaton at £205, with Devon as a whole around £190. The gap is mostly down to property type and travel, so a quote from a firm in either town is worth having.

Question 9

Do I need a full rewire in Axminster, or just a new fuse box?

Accepted Answer

Get an EICR first, around £190. It tests the cables themselves, so you'll know whether the old wiring is sound enough for a new board (about £580) or whether a rewire (about £5,200) is really needed. Plenty of Axminster homes only need the board.

Question 10

Do holiday lets in Axminster need an EICR?

Accepted Answer

The five-year legal rule covers tenancies, not holiday lets. Most insurers and booking platforms still expect one, though, and it's the easiest way to prove the place is safe if anything goes wrong. Plenty of Axminster owners book it between seasons alongside a PAT test.

Question 11

How do I check an electrician is properly registered?

Accepted Answer

Look them up on the NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA register using their name or postcode, not just the logo on a van. Ask for their registration number and a copy of their insurance. A good electrician will happily send both before you book.

Question 12

What's different about electrics in farmhouses near Axminster?

Accepted Answer

Overhead supplies out in the country around Axminster often have their own earth rod (a TT system), so RCD protection and rod tests matter more. Old outbuildings, long cable runs and damp barns are the other usual issues. Allow a bit longer, and budget nearer £305 for big properties.

Question 13

Who do I call in a power cut in Axminster?

Accepted Answer

National Grid (South West) runs the network here. If the whole street is dark, call 105, it's free and they'll give you a time. If it's only your house, check your trip switches first, then call an electrician.
