Electricians in Hay-on-Wye

Coaching inns, bookshop conversions, and festival-season holiday lets keep electricians on EICRs and consumer-unit upgrades. Prefer NICEIC or NAPIT. Notifiable work needs a competent-person route or Powys Building Control — Hay is in Wales even when your cottage feels continuous with Cusop across the border.

Festival week is the wrong moment for a surprise rewire: short-notice call-outs vanish. Book ordinary let turnarounds outside late May / early June if you can.

What to check

From Town centre to the castle / river. Ask for an EIC or EICR on notifiable work. Part P and a written price matter more than a same-day promise.
