What is Electrical Inspection and Testing
Periodic inspections and testing involves a competent electrician using a strictly defined set of procedures to check on the safety and functionality of your electrical installation.
What We Check For:
Not only do we look for obvious faults, but we also investigate hidden damage or defects that could put you and others at risk. Our inspection includes:
- The electrical system type and earthing arrangement
- The presence of main earth bonding such as gas, water, and structural steel
- The adequacy and size of the main fuse and all protective devices
- A visual inspection of all electrical accessories including light fittings, switches, and sockets
- A variety of tests on the fixed wiring of the property
- Functional tests of safety features such as MCBs and RCDs
- The presence of warning notices, labels, and circuit information to help navigate the electrical installation
Our Comprehensive Process:
- Ensure: All relevant warning notices, labels, and circuit information are in place.
- Determine: The electrical system type and earthing arrangement.
- Check: The presence of main earth bonding for gas, water, and structural steel.
- Test: The size and adequacy of all main fuses and protective devices.

For landlords and business owners, passing an electrical safety inspection ensures the safety of your tenants or employees and guarantees that your property is fully compliant with current health and safety regulations. As a homeowner, while you may not have the same legal requirements, an electrical test is essential when buying or selling a property and invaluable in ensuring your loved ones are safe in their home.
