Electrical work across South West England
The South West's cities are full of period terraces and Georgian and Regency townhouses, while Devon, Cornwall and Somerset have many stone cottages, barn conversions and holiday lets. Thick solid walls make chasing in new cables slower, and older rural properties can have wiring that has been extended piecemeal over the years. Holiday-let owners often need electrical safety checks between seasons.
In England, new circuits, consumer unit replacements and work in bathrooms are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. An electrician registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify the work, and you should receive a certificate when it's finished. How to choose an electrician.
