What Is Electrical Testing?
Electrical testing is a set of checks that confirm your electrics are safe and working as they should. Using approved instruments, our electricians inspect circuits, wiring, consumer units, sockets, earthing, bonding, and other electrical systems across your property.
Testing can find faults early, reduce fire risk, and help prevent shock. You receive a written report that explains the inspection, the testing results, and any issues identified by urgency.
This supports insurance requirements, legal requirement checks, compliance, and peace of mind for homeowners, landlords, tenants, agents, and commercial clients across Birmingham and the West Midlands.
Our Electrical Testing Services
We offer flexible testing for homes, shops, offices, schools, hotels, commercial properties, and rental properties. Appointments are arranged at a suitable time, with minimal disruption. After testing, we explain the report clearly and provide a quote for any remedial works.
Our professional electrical services cover fixed wire testing, emergency lighting, EICR testing, EICR certificates, and full electrical installation condition report EICR checks. We support landlords, letting agents, facilities managers, and businesses across Birmingham, the West Midlands, and the nearby areas.
PAT Testing
PAT testing checks the safety of portable appliances such as kettles, heaters, and office equipment.
Each item is inspected and tested for earth continuity, insulation, and safe use.
Labels show the test date and retest period. You receive clear results for records, certification, and compliance.
Fixed Wire Testing
Fixed wire testing examines the permanent electrical installation, including cables, sockets, lights, switches, and consumer units.
We carry out circuit tests, visual checks, and inspection work to find defects.
Results are recorded in a report with clear coding. This helps plan repairs and keeps people and property safe.
Emergency Lighting Testing
Emergency lighting testing confirms that escape routes stay lit during a power cut or fire.
We check fittings, test function, and complete discharge testing where required.
Any failures are listed with actions needed. Regular testing supports legal duties and helps protect staff, visitors, schools, hotels, and commercial buildings.
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)
An electrical installation condition report is a formal assessment of your electrical installation.
During EICR testing, we test circuits, examine protective devices, and review previous electrical work. The EICR report grades issues by code.
It provides evidence for insurers, landlords, tenants, letting agents, and authorities.
Fuse Board and Circuit Testing
We test consumer units and circuits to confirm correct protection and safe operation.
Checks include safety switch trip times, breaker ratings, fuses, earthing, bonding, and circuit labels. This helps with fault finding when issues appear.
Our findings highlight risks and suggest practical improvements.
Landlord Safety Certificates
We provide electrical safety certificates for landlords, rented homes, flats, and houses in multiple occupation.
Inspections follow current regulations and include testing of fixed wiring and key safety devices.
Clear reports, EICR certificates, and remedial quotes help you stay compliant and protect tenants.
Who Needs Electrical Testing?
Many people benefit from electrical testing. Homeowners should arrange checks to keep families safe, especially in older properties, after renovations, when buying, or when solar panels are fitted. Buyers may also request an EICR before completing a house purchase.
Landlords must arrange inspection and testing to meet their responsibility and protect tenants. Letting agents and agents often help manage EICR testing, certification, and remedial works.
Businesses, schools, offices, commercial premises, and hotels need testing to support safety policies, insurance, and compliance. Industrial premises and workshops face higher risks from heavy use, appliances, and electrical systems.
