Church Electrical Testing

A local job for us.... we recently were appointed to carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report at Shedfield Church, Southampton. The report included live and dead testing of all fixed wiring throughout the site including electrics through out the bell tower and 'The Old Tower' situated in the courtyard.

Testing in 'The Old Tower' was particularly interesting as the tower is a common home for bats!

The report highlighted some deviations from the current regulations that were subsequently remedied, enabling the installation to be signed off as being in an satisfactory condition.

Electrical Specification:

We provide a thorough electrical testing service that goes beyond identifying surface issues. Our detailed inspections are designed to uncover hidden faults or potential hazards, ensuring the safety and reliability of your electrical system. Here's what our electrical testing process includes:

Key Electrical Testing Services:

  • System and Earthing Checks: Verifying the type of electrical system and assessing the earthing arrangement for compliance and safety.

  • Main Earth Bonding Assessment: Testing for proper bonding of gas pipes, water systems, and structural steel to prevent electrical hazards.

  • Protective Devices and Fuse Testing: Ensuring the main fuse and all protective devices are adequately rated and in good working condition.

  • Fixed Wiring Testing: Conducting comprehensive electrical tests on the fixed wiring throughout the property.

  • Accessory Inspections: A detailed visual check of electrical accessories such as sockets, light fittings, and switches for wear or damage.

  • Safety Device Testing: Functional testing of Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) and Residual Current Devices (RCDs) to confirm they operate as intended.

  • Labelling and Warnings: Verifying the presence of warning notices, circuit labels, and diagrams for easy navigation of the electrical system.

Why Electrical Testing Matters:


  • Enhanced Safety: Comprehensive tests help identify potential risks and ensure your electrical installation meets regulatory standards.

  • System Reliability: Electrical testing ensures all components, from fixed wiring to safety devices, are functioning correctly.

  • Clear System Navigation: Proper labels and diagrams provide clarity for safe use and maintenance.

Our thorough electrical testing services are designed to give you peace of mind, ensuring your system is both safe and compliant.
