A Periodic Inspection and Testing
To ensure the continued safety of an existing Electrical installation, the Institute of Electrical Engineers or IEE advise that electrical installations are periodically inspected, tested and certified.
Timescales between each period of inspection differs, depending on the type of premises. These inspections must be carried out by qualified persons.
A Periodic Inspection and Testing are required for insurance, mortgage, licensing reasons; change of use, change of ownership, after additions or alterations, after damage; change of loading; to assess compliance with current Regulations.
The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 puts the onus on landlords to ensure the electrical installation in their property is safe when the tenancy begins, and that it is maintained in a safe condition throughout that tenancy. This requirement should form part of all property maintenance programme along with regular visual inspections to check inspection of your fixed wiring system may be for signs of damage and deterioration.
A Periodic Inspection Report with schedules of both the inspection and the test results is issued after completion. We will also provide a competitive quotation, to promptly advice on any problems identified during the inspection.
