As a landlord, employer or homeowner, it is important that you take reasonable steps to keep your electrical installation safe, thereby preventing harm to you or your family, tenants, employees or customers. If you are a landlord or business, you will also need to prove that you took these steps, else you could face prosecution.
The periodic inspection and testing will:
- Ensure the safety of people against the effects of burns or electric shocks
- Confirm that the electrical installation has not deteriorated and is not damaged
- Protect the property from potential fires
To make sure an electrical installation is as safe as possible, you should have an inspection or test carried out to identify any areas that might need improving. The most common test is the Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), formerly known as the Periodic Inspection Report (PIR). The certificate, which we give our customers has either a satisfactory or unsatisfactory outcome. If it is unsatisfactory, we will show the work that needs to be done to bring the system up to date and can do this work for you. This will show that you take your electrical responsibility seriously and provide you with valuable peace of mind. Read our blog about what every homeowner needs to know about upgrading your electrics.
Our staff are polite, professional and friendly and will always cause minimal fuss and disruption whilst completing any work. We believe that communication is key, so will always discuss any work with you thoroughly and keep you informed throughout.

- Any accessories that might need replacing
- Wiring systems and their condition
- Sockets which are used outdoors
- Identification of wiring and notices
- Any changes in use of the premises that may have led to, or lead to, unsafe conditions
After any test, we will issue you with a comprehensive and clearly-written reports, showing any areas of concern. Any issues are highlighted with a code.
There are three codes:
- Code 1: This means that there is danger present and risk of injury, so immediate action needs to be taken.
- Code 2: This means the problem is potentially dangerous, so urgent remedial action is required to remove the potential danger.
- Code 3: This shows non compliance with the current safety standard and means improvement is recommended, even though it doesn’t present an immediate threat.
Any remedial work can be carried out in tandem or carried out at a later date, once the system has been made safe.
