Question 5

Can I add to the wiring in a new build in Ivybridge?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it's often easy because there's space in the board. Check first that it won't affect your warranty, and use a registered electrician so the work is certified. Extra sockets, outside power and EV chargers are the most common add-ons we see in Ivybridge.

Do holiday lets in Ivybridge need an EICR?

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 Ivybridge owners book it between seasons alongside a PAT test.

Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

A little, sometimes. Ivybridge 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 £200 typical price stands.

Question 10

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

Accepted Answer

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.
