Electrical inspection and testing is the systematic process of examining and testing a property's fixed electrical installation to ensure it is safe, compliant and fit for continued use. Our inspection and testing service covers everything from visual examination of accessories to detailed instrument testing of every circuit parameter.

FAQ

Common Questions

What is the difference between inspection and testing?

Inspection is the visual examination of all accessible electrical equipment for signs of damage, deterioration or non-compliance. Testing uses calibrated instruments to measure electrical parameters like resistance, impedance and trip times that cannot be seen.

How long does an electrical inspection take?

A typical domestic inspection takes 2-4 hours. Commercial and industrial premises take longer depending on the number of distribution boards and circuits. We provide a time estimate when you book.

Do I need to prepare anything before the inspection?

We need access to all rooms, the consumer unit, and any meter cupboards. If the property is tenanted, please arrange access. We also ask that heavy furniture blocking sockets be moved if possible, though we can work around most obstacles.
