Hillside villas and holiday accommodation
Guest houses, hotels and holiday flats need periodic testing, emergency lighting and fire alarms suited to the premises, usually scheduled before the main season.
Steep hills and limited parking make access slower, and coastal exposure takes its toll on outdoor fittings.
Torquay's Victorian villas climb the hills above the harbour, many converted into flats, guest houses and holiday lets. Babbacombe, St Marychurch, Chelston and neighbouring Paignton add more seaside homes.

What local electricians in Torquay can do
The local picture: 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.
Electrical work in England should be tested and certified, and some of it – new circuits and consumer units, for example – must be notified under Part P. Registered electricians handle this for you. How to choose an electrician.
