Periodic Inspection Explained
As with all fabrications within a property, electrical installations deteriorate over time which is suggested within the electricity at work regulations act, and often requested by insures.
The periodic inspection and testing will highlight any lack of earthing or bonding within the electrical circuits or equipment. The price you pay is dependant upon the amount of electrical circuits within your property, on average we would test around 50 circuits per day which are located within your distribution boards, to the standards of the wiring regulations BS 7671.
Provided with the electrical installation report EICR
The installation condition report EICR, will identify any defective electrical work in accordance with current safety standards, plus any wear and tear found upon light fittings, switches and distribution boards.
