Periodic Inspection Reports

Electrical installations can deteriorate over time through normal use, alterations, damage, environmental conditions and general wear and tear.

A periodic inspection examines the condition of an existing electrical installation and identifies defects or areas that may require attention.

Our periodic inspection and testing service can include:

  • Visual inspection of the electrical installation
  • Inspection and testing of distribution boards
  • Circuit testing
  • Protective device checks
  • Earthing and bonding checks
  • Insulation resistance testing
  • Continuity testing
  • RCD testing
  • Identification of electrical defects
  • Assessment of the overall condition of the installation
  • Reporting of findings and recommended remedial works

Following the inspection and testing, we can clearly explain any issues identified and advise on repairs or upgrades where required.

Electrical Testing & Inspection Services

Domestic Electrical Testing

If you have concerns about the condition of the electrical installation in your home, are renovating an older property, or simply want to have an existing installation professionally assessed, we can carry out comprehensive electrical inspection and testing.

Testing can help identify issues such as damaged or deteriorated wiring, inadequate earthing, faulty protective devices and other defects that may not be obvious during everyday use.

Commercial Electrical Testing 

Landlord safety checks focus on ensuring rental properties meet legal electrical safety duties. We carry out EICRs for rented homes, inspect consumer units, test socket and lighting circuits, and verify RCD protection in line with current landlord regulations. For most rented properties, a full check is required at least every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy. You receive compliant documentation for your records, clear advice on any urgent or recommended improvements, and support with prioritising remedial work to keep tenants safe.

Electrical Fault Finding 

Commercial and industrial testing covers offices, shops, warehouses, factories and specialist sites. Our qualified electricians test distribution boards, three‑phase supplies, emergency lighting, and critical circuits to ensure safe operation and minimal downtime. Testing intervals typically range from 1 to 5 years depending on the environment and risk level. You receive a structured report, circuit schedules, compliance notes against relevant standards, and a prioritised action plan for repairs, upgrades and ongoing maintenance.
