We provide the full range of electrical testing. This page covers testing of the fixed electrical installation. We also test emergency lighting and fire alarms.
Periodic inspection reports (EICR)
A periodic inspection report, now usually called an Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR, is required on a regular basis for all properties, with the frequency depending on various criteria. Once an inspection is carried out, we provide a complete breakdown of any remedial work highlighted in the report, with the associated cost against each item, sub-divided by the report codes 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Every periodic inspection we carry out includes thermal imaging of the distribution boards.
Other certificates and inspections
Installation certificate: required after any new circuit is added within a building. We produce one whenever we carry out new electrical installation work, in line with BS 7671.
Minor works: issued for minor alterations to electrical circuits that do not involve installing a complete new circuit or protective device.
Visual inspection: a lower-cost option particularly suited to potential home buyers. We inspect the installation to determine the age of the wiring and accessories, its general condition and its compliance with current British Standards. If the installation is found to be generally satisfactory, a full inspection including testing of circuits can be carried out on request.
Power analysing
We also offer power analysis using a data logger. We install SP Max meters, a simple three-phase energy monitor and logger that needs no voltage connections. They measure current, voltage, kW, kWh, kVA, kvar, power factor and pulse, and provide a printable data sheet in PDF or Excel format. The analysis is used to verify your power consumption over time.
We can also install other meters to verify transient currents and voltage fluctuations.
