Question 5

Do electricians charge more to come out on the moor near Buckfastleigh?

Accepted Answer

A little, sometimes. Buckfastleigh is on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, and homes up on the moor can be a long drive with poor phone signal. Most firms add £20 to £40 for remote spots. In town, the £950 typical price stands.

Question 6

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.

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.

Question 9

Will I get a certificate when the job's done?
