Do electricians charge more to come out on the moor near Okehampton?
A little, sometimes. Okehampton 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 £130 typical price stands.

The whole street's lost power in Okehampton. Who do I ring?
Call 105, free from any phone. That goes to National Grid (South West), who look after the lines in EX20. It isn't an electrician's job if the neighbours are off too. If only your house is off, check the fuse box first, then call an electrician.
Who looks after the cable into my house in Okehampton?
National Grid (South West) owns the supply cable, the main fuse and the cutout in EX20. Your electrician can't touch those. If the cutout is cracked, scorched or old, they'll report it, and National Grid (South West) usually replaces it free.
How do Okehampton prices for emergency electrician compare with Tavistock?
Okehampton typically comes in at £130 and Tavistock at £120, with Devon as a whole around £120. The gap is mostly down to property type and travel, so a quote from a firm in either town is worth having.
Do you cover the villages round Okehampton, like Sticklepath and Belstone?

My trip switch keeps going off and won't reset. What should I do?
Turn every circuit breaker off, then reset the main RCD. Flick the breakers back on one at a time. The one that trips it is your problem circuit. Unplug everything on it and try again. If it still trips with nothing plugged in, it's a wiring fault and you need an electrician.
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.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Burning smells, scorch marks on a socket, sparking, a buzzing fuse box, water getting into lights or sockets, or no power when the neighbours have it. If it's just one circuit tripping and the rest of the house is fine, it can usually wait for a normal-hours visit, which is cheaper.
Do I need a certificate for emergency electrician?
Yes. Most of this work is notifiable under Part P, so you should get a certificate and building-control notice for West Devon Borough Council.
