Electrical Testing

Electrical testing is highly important in both commercial and domestic premises. Elec-Check can offer a large range of testing in all types of property, and ensure that all of our engineers are experienced in what they do and are C&G 2391 qualified.

There are many reasons why you need to carry out periodic testing, and many people are not necessarily aware of these reasons. Many insurance companies require a compliance certificate in case of damage before they will accept a claim. Also, when acquiring ownership or tenancy of any premises, you should ensure that any electrical installations are safe.

A rental domestic property should be inspected every year or when a change in occupancy occurs to ensure the correct operation between tenants is taken, and that no changes have occurred without your knowledge. This is legally a duty of care to your tenant, so should be considered in high regard when considering electrical testing.

The types of testing that Elec-Check can offer you are:

  • Periodic fixed wire testing to BS 7671
  • Fire Alarm testing
  • Emergency lighting testing
  • Portable appliance testing
  • Caravans
  • Marinas

Domestic every 10 years
Commercial every 5 years
Industrial installations every 3 years
Buildings open to the public every year
External installations every 3 years
Caravan parks every year
Fire alarms every year
