How much is PAT testing in Ivybridge?
Most firms charge per item, about £1 to £2 each, or a minimum visit. A small office or holiday let in Ivybridge usually comes to around £80, with a minimum charge near £50.
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.
Will I get a certificate when the job's done?
You should. New circuits and fuse boards get an Electrical Installation Certificate; smaller jobs get a Minor Works Certificate. Keep them with your house papers, as buyers' solicitors and insurers often ask to see them.
How often do holiday lets in Ivybridge 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.
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.
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.
