How often do holiday lets in Braunton need PAT testing?
Once a year is the norm for holiday lets, because guests use and move appliances more. Many owners book it each spring before the season starts.
Should I get more than one quote?
Two or three is sensible. Compare what's included, not just the total: testing, certificates, making good, and how they price any extra faults found. The cheapest quote often leaves things out that turn up on the final bill.
Is PAT testing a legal requirement?
Not exactly. The law says electrical equipment at work and in rentals must be safe, and PAT testing is the usual way to show that. Insurers and letting agents often require it, especially for holiday lets.
How do I check an electrician is properly registered?
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.

It can. Salt air corrodes outdoor sockets, lights and meter boxes faster, so ask for IP65 or better outside. Older properties and holiday lets here also tend to have damp in outbuildings, which an electrician will check during the job.

You should get a Minor Works or Electrical Installation Certificate. Keep it with your house papers.
