Regular electrical testing and inspection protects your Lancashire property from electrical hazards whilst ensuring compliance with current safety regulations. Our qualified electricians provide comprehensive testing services for residential and commercial properties, identifying potential issues before they become dangerous or costly problems.
Electrical systems deteriorate over time, developing faults that aren’t always visible or immediately apparent. Regular testing identifies these issues early, preventing electrical fires, equipment damage, and potential injury to occupants.
Legal requirements also mandate periodic electrical testing for many properties. Landlords must provide valid electrical certificates for rental properties, whilst businesses need regular testing to meet health and safety obligations and insurance requirements.
Ready to discuss your electrical needs? Our qualified Lancashire electricians are here to help with all residential and commercial electrical services. From emergency call-outs to planned installations, we provide reliable, professional solutions across the region.
Our thorough inspections examine every aspect of your electrical system. We test protective devices like RCDs and circuit breakers, verify earth bonding connections, check cable insulation integrity, and measure circuit resistances.
We also inspect consumer units, distribution boards, and all electrical accessories for signs of damage, overheating, or deterioration. Socket outlets, light fittings, and fixed appliances receive detailed examination to ensure safe operation.
Our testing includes verification that electrical installations can safely handle their intended loads without overheating or creating fire risks.
Upon completion, we provide official certification detailing our findings and any remedial work required. These certificates satisfy legal requirements for landlords, insurance companies, and local authorities.
Our reports clearly identify any immediate dangers requiring urgent attention, alongside recommendations for improvements that enhance safety or bring installations up to current standards.
Proactive electrical testing prevents costly emergency repairs and system failures that disrupt daily operations. Early identification of problems allows planned maintenance during convenient times rather than emergency call-outs.
Insurance validity often depends on maintaining current electrical certificates. Regular testing ensures your coverage remains effective whilst potentially reducing premium costs through demonstrated risk management.
Property values benefit from current electrical certificates, particularly important for landlords and property sales where outdated electrical systems can delay transactions or reduce offers.
Domestic properties require EICR testing every five years, though rental properties need testing every year. Commercial premises typically need annual inspections, whilst some high-risk environments require more frequent testing. We advise on specific requirements during consultation.
Our reports categorise any issues found, from immediate dangers requiring urgent attention to minor improvements that enhance safety. We provide clear explanations and quotations for any remedial work needed to bring your installation up to standard.
Most testing can be carried out with minimal disruption, though we may need to temporarily isolate specific circuits. We coordinate with you to minimise inconvenience and complete testing during suitable hours for your property type.
Testing duration depends on property size and installation complexity. Typical domestic properties take 2-4 hours, whilst larger commercial premises may require a full day or longer. We provide accurate time estimates when booking your inspection.
Yes, for rental properties and most commercial premises. While not legally mandatory for owner-occupied homes, regular testing is strongly recommended for safety and insurance purposes, particularly in properties over ten years old.
