Accepted Answer

Tiverton typically comes in at £200 and Cullompton at £185, 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.

Do you cover the villages round Tiverton, like Bampton and Halberton?

Accepted Answer

We do. The an EICR prices on this page already include jobs in Bampton, Halberton, Bickleigh, Sampford Peverell, Washfield. Village visits are usually booked on the same days as Tiverton work, so the next slot (in 6 days) normally applies to you too.

Question 7

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

Question 8

What's different about electrics in farmhouses near Tiverton?

Accepted Answer

Overhead supplies out in the country around Tiverton 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 £295 for big properties.

Question 9

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

Question 10

What do electricians usually find in Victorian houses in Tiverton?

Accepted Answer

Patchwork. Many of Tiverton's terraces were rewired in the 1960s–80s, then added to. Common finds are no earth on lighting, old fuse boxes, sockets on overloaded spurs and flats sharing a supply. An EICR, around £190, shows what's really there before you spend more.

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 Mid Devon District Council within 28 days if they ask.
