ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION + INSPECTION + TESTING
Testing Services from Charlton Electrical Contractors
At Charlton Electrical Contractors we take your safety very seriously indeed and that is why we offer a full and comprehensive Periodic Inspection and Testing (PIR) service.
Clients require safety reports for a variety of reasons: insurance company requirements for both landlord and owner occupiers, sellers and vendors involved in property transactions, by landlords to ensure safety of tenants, those living or occupying premises with pre-existing safety concerns eg. thatched roof properties, etc.
A periodic inspection is the inspection of the condition of an existing electrical installation, to identify in order of priority, any deficiencies against the national safety standard for electrical installations.
A periodic inspection will:
Identify any electrical circuits or equipment that is overloaded
Highlight any potential electrical shock risks and fire hazards in
the installation
Reveal any defective DIY electrical work
Check for any lack of earthing or bonding
A prescribed list of tests is carried out on the wiring and associated fixed electrical equipment and accessories to check full safety and a schedule of circuits is developed during the inspection.
The report produced is very thorough and by its nature is time-consuming and this is reflected in the cost charged.
