Electrical installations in Torquay, Paignton, Brixham & surrounding areas
Dedicated to excellent service
An NIC EIC registered electrician covering Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and Newton Abbot
If you're looking for an electrician in Torbay or Newton Abbot, the truth is that you can't judge electrical work by looking at it. A socket can sit flush on the wall and be wired dangerously behind the faceplate. That's why the sensible way to choose an electrician isn't the website with the biggest promises, it's checking who's actually registered, and who's prepared to explain the job to you before you commit to anything.
I'm Owen Knight, an NICEIC-registered electrician working across Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Newton Abbot and the surrounding parts of South Devon. Electrical work runs in the family, my father Steve has been an electrician in Torbay for years, and I trained into the trade the proper way: on real jobs, in real houses, learning what good work looks like and what shortcuts look like when they go wrong.
What I can help with
Domestic electrical work of all sizes, including:
Full and partial rewires
Electrical fault finding
Lighting design and installation
New sockets, switches and circuits
Consumer unit (fuse board) replacements
LED and general electrical installations
No job is too small to ask about. If you're not sure whether what you've noticed is a problem, a warm plug, a tripping circuit, flickering lights, it costs nothing to describe it over the phone, and it's always better checked than ignored.
What NIC EIC registration actually means for you
Plenty of people can legally call themselves an electrician. NICEIC registration is the difference between someone saying they're competent and someone being regularly assessed on it. As a registered electrician:
My work is assessed by the NICEIC, not just promised by me.
Notifiable work in your home — rewires, new circuits, consumer unit changes — is self-certified under Part P of the Building Regulations, so you get the certificates you'll need if you ever sell the house.
You have somewhere to turn beyond the tradesperson if something isn't right.
If you're comparing electricians, ask every one of them for their registration number. Anyone properly registered will give it without hesitation — you can check it on the NICEIC website in under a minute, including mine.

Getting a quote
Tell me what you need or what's worrying you, if you're not sure what it needs. For smaller jobs I can usually price over the phone; for anything bigger, like a rewire or lighting for an extension, I'll come and look at the property first, because a quote written without seeing the job is a guess, and guesses get revised later. You'll get a clear price before any work starts.
I cover Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Newton Abbot and the areas around them. Get in touch and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
