Our Core Inspection Services

We understand that electrical deterioration is often invisible. We offer a complete range of testing services to ensure your property remains safe, compliant with the latest BS 7671 regulations, and fully operational.

EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Reports)

The EICR (often called a "Landlord Certificate" or "Periodic Inspection") is the gold standard for electrical safety. We conduct thorough inspections to identify wear, tear, and potential hazards.

• Landlord Safety Certificates: Essential 5-year checks to meet the Private Rented Sector (ESSPRS) Regulations.

• Homebuyer Reports: Detailed inspections for those purchasing a property, ensuring you aren't inheriting dangerous wiring.

• Insurance Compliance: Periodic testing required by many building insurance policies to validate coverage.

• Visual Inspections: A preliminary check to identify obvious defects or damage.

Portable Appliance & Equipment Testing

It isn't just the fixed wiring that needs checking; the items you plug in pose risks too. We help you manage your equipment safety.

• PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing): Inspection of kettles, PCs, tools, and heaters for offices and rental properties.

• Fixed Appliance Testing: Safety checks for hard-wired equipment like hand dryers, cookers, and showers.

• Microwave Leakage Tests: Ensuring kitchen equipment in commercial or staff room settings is safe to use.

Safety System Verification

Your safety systems must work when you need them most. We provide certified testing for critical emergency infrastructure.

• Emergency Lighting: Annual full-duration drain tests and monthly operational checks (flick tests).

• Smoke & Fire Alarms: Testing of hard-wired interlinked systems to ensure sensors and sounders are functioning.

• Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Verification of sensor dates and operation.

Diagnostics and Fault Finding

When things go wrong, you need answers fast. We use advanced testing equipment to pinpoint issues without unnecessary damage to your property.

• Nuisance Tripping: Identifying why your RCD or circuit breakers keep cutting out.

• Circuit Tracing: Mapping out unlabelled fuse boxes to tell you exactly which switch controls which socket.

• Thermal Analysis: Identifying loose connections that are overheating before they cause a fire.
