Domestic Electrical
Electrical Safety, Inspection & Testing
Periodic inspection and testing of domestic electrical installations, so you know the condition of your wiring and any issues can be addressed before they become problems.
Electrical installations don't last forever. Wiring, accessories and consumer units can degrade over time, and additions over the years can leave a mixed installation that hasn't been checked as a whole. Periodic inspection and testing gives you a documented view of the condition of your home's electrics.
We carry out inspection and testing on the domestic installations we're competent to assess, and provide clear feedback on anything that needs attention. Where we identify work we can't lawfully or competently complete ourselves, we'll say so and point you towards an appropriate route.
Typical situations
- Buying or selling a property
- An older home that's never been formally checked
- After significant electrical alterations
- Persistent tripping or unexplained faults
- Peace of mind for family or elderly relatives
