Inspection, Testing & Certification

Trusted certifications for residential and commercial compliance, ensuring all installations meet UK standards.

Electrical Inspection, Testing, and Certification

Electrical inspection, testing, and certification are essential to ensure the safety, compliance, and proper functioning of any electrical installation. These processes are designed to identify potential hazards, prevent electrical failures, and certify that systems meet the required standards. Regular inspections and tests help protect people and property from risks like electrical shocks, fires, and system malfunctions.

Why Electrical Testing & Certification is Crucial

Importance of Regular Testing

Electrical installations naturally deteriorate over time due to wear and tear, which increases the risk of electrical shocks or fire hazards. Our detailed Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) identifies these risks and provides a clear pathway to ensure your electrical systems remain safe and compliant.

EICRs for Landlords

Since 1st June 2020, EICRs have been legally required for all private and commercial landlords every five years or at change of occupancy, ensuring rented properties meet current electrical safety standards. To ensure trust within our customers we provide transparency observations within and EICR, which will be accompanied with photographic evidence of the issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find essential information on electrical inspections, testing protocols, and certification requirements to ensure safety and compliance.

What is an EICR and why do I need one?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a comprehensive assessment of the condition and safety of your electrical system. It identifies any damage, wear, or faults that could pose a risk to safety. Landlords are legally required to obtain an EICR every five years or at change of occupancy to ensure that rented properties comply with current electrical safety standards.

What happens if my EICR is unsatisfactory?

If an EICR is deemed unsatisfactory, you will receive a report detailing the non-compliance issues along with photographic evidence. We will provide a quotation for necessary repairs, and you have the option to seek alternative quotes. However, any required repairs must be completed within 28 days to ensure compliance.

What is the difference between an EIC and MWEIC?

An Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) is issued for new installations or significant modifications to existing systems, ensuring that they meet current safety standards. In contrast, a Minor Works Electrical Installation Certificate (MWEIC) is used for smaller projects, such as minor additions or alterations to existing circuits, confirming that the work has been completed to a safe standard.

Can I carry out electrical work myself and still get it certified?

Yes, you can carry out electrical work yourself; however, if you are not qualified to issue your own certification, you will require Third-Party Certification (TPC). It’s advisable to contact us before commencing any work to ensure it complies with UK building regulations and can be certified correctly.

Are your services available for industrial projects?

Absolutely! We provide a comprehensive range of services tailored for the industrial sector, including manufacturing, process facilities, and the energy industry. Our experienced team has the necessary knowledge and clearances to handle complex projects in these environments, ensuring all work meets the highest safety and regulatory standards.

How often should I have my electrical installations tested?

The frequency of testing depends on the type of installation and its use. For residential properties, an EICR is typically required every five years or at change of occupancy. For commercial premises, testing is recommended at least every three to five years, or more frequently for higher-risk environments. Regular inspections help to ensure ongoing safety and compliance with current regulations.
