"We’ve been woking on electrical systems for many years. With our knowledge and contacts within the industry, we have always found a solution, even on the really tricky projects thrown our way. I’ve had the pleasure of working with large companies as well as domestic homeowners and landlords. No matter who you are, my approach is always the same: respectful, honest and transparent."
Whatever your property, from a holiday home on the coast to a restaurant or shop in Plymouth, Sound Electrical electricians, can cover all your electrical testing and inspecting needs – house in multiple occupation (HMO) also covered.

Mandatory 5 yearly electrical installation checks for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs)
The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 requires landlords to keep installations in the property, including the supply of electricity, in good repair and proper working order. If your property is not an HMO, you are not legally obliged to do this. However, we recommend that a periodic inspection and test is carried out by a registered electrician on your rental properties at least every five years.
That any appliance provided is safe and has at least the CE marking (which is the manufacturer’s claim that it meets all the requirements of European law)
Building regulations since 2010 have required all circuits in new or rewired homes to comply with the wiring rules in BS 7671 and include the installation of a Residual Current Device (RCD) covering any new circuits in the consumer unit since July 2008
Legislation is constantly evolving, so please make sure you check with your local council as they are your local governing body.
