Testing

Testing Services

Structured inspection and testing for homes and businesses — from EICRs and landlord reports through to fire alarm, emergency lighting, and PAT programmes.

Electrical testing and inspection project context

Inspection and testing, done clearly

We deliver structured electrical testing and inspection for landlords, homeowners, and commercial clients. Work is planned around access, downtime, and the reports you need for compliance, insurance, or peace of mind.

Whether you need a one-off EICR, a programme of periodic checks, or specialist testing such as fire alarms, emergency lighting, or PAT, our team documents findings clearly and explains practical next steps where remedial work is required.

Clear reporting you can share with insurers, tenants, or duty holders
Domestic and commercial experience across Leicestershire and beyond
Practical advice when results show improvement or repair is needed

Landlord inspections

Residential or let property interior suitable for landlord electrical inspection

Landlord electrical inspections help demonstrate that rental properties remain safe for tenants and meet expectations from councils, agents, and insurers.

We carry out the agreed inspection and testing scope, record observations clearly, and highlight anything that should be addressed within an agreed timeframe.

Why it matters

Supports compliance with letting and safety responsibilities
Reduces dispute risk with documented condition evidence
Can be aligned with tenancy changeovers or void periods

Insurance testing

Electrical testing and inspection at distribution equipment

Insurers sometimes ask for evidence that an installation has been inspected or tested within a certain period, especially after a claim or for higher-risk premises.

We carry out the scope they expect, issue formal documentation, and flag any items that could affect cover if left unresolved.

Why it matters

Certificates and reports formatted for insurer submission
Clear identification of urgent vs advisory items
Helps avoid delays when renewals or surveys ask for proof

EICRs

Electrical installation work and inspection context on site

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) records the condition of a fixed electrical installation at a point in time, including classification of any observations.

We test representative circuits and equipment, assess accessories and distribution, and summarise outcomes so you know what is satisfactory, what should be improved, and what may need immediate attention.

Why it matters

Suitable for homeowners, landlords, and commercial duty holders
Codes and observations explained in practical language
Ideal baseline before sales, purchases, or major upgrades

Fault finding

Electrical equipment and diagnostics on site

Intermittent trips, nuisance RCD operation, or unexplained loss of power need a methodical approach rather than guesswork.

We combine safe isolation, measurement, and experience to narrow down the cause and recommend targeted repairs or replacements.

Why it matters

Less downtime than repeated callouts without diagnosis
Reduces risk of masking a serious underlying defect
Clear path from finding to fix, including remedial quotation if needed

Visual condition inspections

Building and electrical infrastructure from wider project context

Not every situation needs full test instrumentation straight away. A structured visual inspection can quickly highlight damaged accessories, overheating signs, or poor workmanship.

Useful for change-of-use checks, pre-purchase reviews, or scoping a larger testing programme.

Why it matters

Fast, low-disruption first pass where appropriate
Photographic notes and clear recommendations where useful
Good complement before a full EICR or insurance visit

Fire alarm testing

Electrical systems and safety-critical environments

Fire detection and alarm systems depend on reliable power supplies and interfaces with the wider electrical installation.

We carry out agreed periodic testing in line with the system type and your log-book requirements, recording results for your records.

Why it matters

Supports responsible-person record keeping
Helps catch wiring or device faults before they become incidents
Coordinated with other electrical work where possible

Emergency light testing

Emergency lighting inspection in a commercial corridor

Emergency escape lighting must work when mains power fails. Periodic discharge and functional checks confirm batteries, lamps, and control gear are doing their job.

We follow an agreed test plan and document outcomes so you can demonstrate compliance during audits.

Why it matters

Demonstrates due diligence for building users
Reduces liability risk from failed escape routes
Can be scheduled to minimise disruption to occupants

PAT testing

PAT tested plug and workshop bench setup

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is part of a wider maintenance regime for equipment supplied via plug and socket in workplaces, studios, and many rented settings.

We label, test, and record appliances proportionately to risk, without unnecessary retesting where it adds no value.

Why it matters

Inventory-style records for offices, workshops, and sites
Supports health and safety file expectations
Flexible visit patterns for larger estates or schools

FAQs

How often should I get an EICR?

Typical guidance is every ten years for owner-occupied homes and more frequently for rented properties and commercial sites, but your insurer, lease, or risk assessment may specify something different. We can advise based on your situation.

What happens if the report shows problems?

Observations are coded to show severity. We explain what each item means in practice and can quote remedial work where you want us to carry it out.

Can you test outside normal hours?

For commercial clients we can often arrange early starts, evenings, or weekends to reduce disruption. Availability depends on scope and location.

Do you cover both domestic and commercial?

Yes. The same team handles smaller domestic EICRs through to larger commercial testing programmes, always scaled to the property and documentation you need.
