Question 5

How do I check an electrician is properly registered?

Question 7

Should I get more than one quote?

Accepted Answer

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 8

Do I need a full rewire in Budleigh Salterton, 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 Budleigh Salterton homes only need the board.

What happens if my EICR comes back unsatisfactory?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 12

Do holiday lets in Budleigh Salterton 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 Budleigh Salterton owners book it between seasons alongside a PAT test.
