Electrical Testing & Inspection
Electrical systems don’t stay in perfect condition forever. Over time, wiring can deteriorate, connections can loosen and safety standards can change. Electrical testing and inspection ensures your installation remains safe, compliant and fit for purpose.
Forest Edge Electrical provides professional electrical testing and inspection services across Dorset, Wiltshire and Hampshire for homeowners, landlords and businesses.
What is it?
Electrical testing and inspection involves assessing the safety and condition of your fixed wiring and electrical installation.
This can include:
- Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)
- Landlord safety inspections
- Commercial electrical inspections
- Fault investigation testing
- Emergency lighting testing (commercial)
- Fire alarm testing (commercial)
- Minor works certificates
The process includes visual inspections and specialist testing to identify potential hazards, wear and non-compliance with current UK regulations.
Do I need it?
You may need electrical testing if:
- You are a landlord (EICR required every 5 years in England)
- You’ve purchased an older property
- Your electrics haven’t been inspected in 10 years
- You are running a commercial premises
- You are selling your property
- You’ve had significant electrical alterations
Even if everything appears to be working normally, hidden faults can exist. Regular inspection provides reassurance and early identification of issues before they become costly or dangerous.
What happens during an EICR?
During an Electrical Installation Condition Report, we will:
- Inspect the consumer unit
- Test circuits for safety and integrity
- Check earthing and bonding arrangements
- Identify any damage, deterioration or non-compliance
- Provide a detailed report outlining findings
Any issues found are clearly explained, along with practical and cost-effective recommendations if remedial work is required.
Our aim is not to create unnecessary work, it’s to ensure your electrics are safe and compliant.
