Domestic Electricians in Paignton
M&E Contrax provides domestic electrical services for homeowners and landlords in Paignton. We are NICEIC-approved and based in Newton Abbot, 10 miles from Paignton, serving TQ3 and TQ4 for house rewires, consumer unit upgrades, EICR testing, EV charger installation, and the full range of residential electrical work.
Paignton’s residential areas include older Victorian and Edwardian streets near the seafront and town centre, inter-war and post-war housing across the wider town, and newer developments at Blagdon, Collaton St Mary, and Galmpton. The electrical installation requirements across these property types vary significantly — from full rewires in the oldest properties to consumer unit upgrades in properties that have been rewired but predate modern RCD protection requirements.

Paignton landlords and EICR testing
Paignton has a significant private rental market. If you let a residential property in Paignton, a valid EICR is a legal requirement. The certificate must be no more than five years old and must be provided to tenants within 28 days of the inspection. The penalty for non-compliance is up to £40,000 per offence.
We carry out EICR testing for Paignton landlords and portfolio managers. Our NICEIC-approved team, led by David Moore who holds City and Guilds 2391-52 Electrical Inspection and Testing, meets the competency requirements that come into force in October 2026. If your EICR is due for renewal, book now before demand increases further as the October deadline approaches.

Paignton is one of the sunniest locations in England, receiving around 1,600 sunshine hours per year as part of the English Riviera. Many Paignton homeowners are installing or have already installed solar panels. If you are having solar panels installed and also need electrical work, a consumer unit upgrade, new circuits, or an EV charger, doing it in the same programme reduces cost and disruption. Our team carries out both solar and electrical installation.
