Do you cover the villages round Tiverton, like Bampton and Halberton?
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 2 days) normally applies to you too.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
