Common questions about Electrical Testing

We have answered some of the most common questions about electrical testing below to help you understand what to expect.

How often should electrical testing be carried out?

The recommended frequency depends on the type of property and how it is used. Homes, rental properties, and commercial premises each have different guidelines, and our team will advise you on the most suitable schedule for your specific situation.

What is an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)?

An EICR is a formal inspection that assesses the safety and condition of your existing electrical installation. It identifies any faults or areas that fall below current standards, and the findings are recorded in a detailed report for your reference.

How long does electrical testing take?

The time required depends on the size of your property and the scope of the inspection. Smaller jobs may be completed within a few hours, while larger premises can take longer. Our team will provide a clear timescale before any work begins.

What happens if a fault is found during testing?

If we identify a fault or defect, we record it clearly in your report and provide a quotation to put it right. We always explain our findings in plain terms and recommend the most cost-effective way to resolve any issues.

Is electrical testing a legal requirement?

Certain properties, particularly rented and commercial premises, are subject to legal obligations around electrical safety. Our team can talk you through the relevant requirements and help ensure your property stays compliant.
