Question 5

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

Do you cover the villages round Kingsbridge, like West Alvington and Loddiswell?

Accepted Answer

We do. The an EICR prices on this page already include jobs in West Alvington, Loddiswell, Thurlestone, Aveton Gifford, Chillington. Village visits are usually booked on the same days as Kingsbridge work, so the next slot (in 7 days) normally applies to you too.

Question 7

Does living by the sea in Kingsbridge affect electrical work?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

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. As a landlord you must get those fixed within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so, then get written confirmation and send it to your tenant and to South Hams District Council within 28 days if they ask.

Question 10

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

Question 11

How do Kingsbridge prices for an EICR compare with Salcombe?

Accepted Answer

Kingsbridge typically comes in at £190 and Salcombe at £195, with Devon as a whole around £190. The gap is mostly down to property type and travel, so a quote from a firm in either town is worth having.

Question 12

What electrical checks does a holiday let in Kingsbridge need?

Accepted Answer

As a paying-guest let you need a fire risk assessment, working smoke alarms and safe appliances. Most Kingsbridge owners keep an EICR every five years, PAT test yearly and check alarms before each season. Booking them in one visit keeps the cost near £190.
