Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency callout for electrical faults across Devon. Call 01364 654271. Because we are based in Newton Abbot, our response times for Devon properties are faster than national companies operating remotely.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal inspection of your property’s fixed wiring. It is a legal requirement for all residential landlords in England, renewed every five years. For commercial premises, it demonstrates compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
All notifiable electrical work is self-certified and notified to Building Control under Part P. You receive an Electrical Installation Certificate for new circuits and consumer unit work, or a Minor Works Certificate for smaller additions. EICRs produce the full inspection report and certificate.
Yes, and it is often more cost-effective to combine them. If you are having a consumer unit upgrade, rewire, or solar installation, adding an EV charger circuit at the same time shares the mobilisation cost and avoids a separate visit.
Yes. We cover Newton Abbot, Exeter, Torbay, Plymouth, South Hams, Dartmoor, Ashburton, and the wider Devon area. We also cover Cornwall and Somerset for larger commercial projects.
