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.

Accepted Answer

South Molton typically comes in at £190 and Barnstaple at £190, 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 10

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

Question 11

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 North Devon Council within 28 days if they ask.

Question 12

What's different about electrics in farmhouses near South Molton?

Accepted Answer

Overhead supplies out in the country around South Molton often have their own earth rod (a TT system), so RCD protection and rod tests matter more. Old outbuildings, long cable runs and damp barns are the other usual issues. Allow a bit longer, and budget nearer £280 for big properties.

Accepted Answer

National Grid (South West) runs the network here. If the whole street is dark, call 105, it's free and they'll give you a time. If it's only your house, check your trip switches first, then call an electrician.
