Electrical installation condition reports suitable for landlords and homeowners

All our engineers have the latest 18th Edition wiring regulations test and inspection certification, they also carry a fully calibrated test and tool kit.

We can also contact any tenants or letting agents for access, collect keys from estate agents or arrange a suitable time at your convenience.

Our periodic test inspections include a full inspection and testing of the fixed wiring of a property including:

Earth bonding to gas and water
Correct consumer unit
Damage to cables, sockets, switches etc
Full instrument test of the circuits

Any faults will be flagged up on page 2 of the report and listed with a priority rating C1-C3. These figures refer to the following status:

C1 – Danger present: Risk of injury- immediate remedial action required
C2 – Potentially dangerous-urgent remedial action required
C3 – Improvement required.
Further investigation required

A quotation for any remedial works will be provided with the report along with the VAT receipt for the inspection. Reports can be e-mailed to multiple precipitants if required to assist the process of moving home or new tenants.

Fact File for Periodic Testing

The 17th Edition Wiring Regulations BS7671- Amendment 2 2018 is the latest edition of the IEE British Standard publications. Every electrician we employ has trained to the IEE regulations and attended refresher courses to bring their expertise up to the latest 2018 edition.

2391 – To carry out Periodic Electrical Inspections in the UK, the engineers require, alongside the BS7671, to have also passed a City and Guilds Level 3 certificate in inspection, testing and certification of electrical installations (2391). This training provides the engineer with the relevant information and procedures regarding an initial visual inspection, verification and certification. This includes collecting data of correct types of cable, fuses – MCBs etc, the presence and correct operation of an RCD trip switch to prevent harm to property and lives from fire and electric shock. The presence and correct size of earthing conductors into the property; to the mains gas and water supply; to any exposed metal parts that may need earth bonding.

The test includes an instrumental verification test using the following instruments:

Voltage tester to measure Volts
Continuity tester to measure ohms
Insulation resistance to measure M ohms
Earth loop impendence tester to measure ohms
RCD tester to measure mS

A full test on the supply of your home/business to BS7671 IEE Wiring Regulations including fuse board, earthing arrangements, wiring, fixtures and fittings (i.e. lights, sockets, switches). Installation methods, loose connections etc.

The following tests are carried out:

Continuity of earth conductors
Continuity of ring final conductors
Polarity
Installation resistance – to check for any arcing or moisture between phase – phase earth
Earth loop impedance – to verify path of earth
RCD test to check tripping times and mA settings

The test involves testing circuits at the consumer unit and various points around the property and includes a visual inspection as well as an instrumental test. Also the supplies characteristics are tested to ensure a good earth and path of fault current is present. These tests are called Ze and PSC (Prospective Short Circuit). These tests verify a circuit has continued earth path to each fitting and that the RCD operates within the specified time and current.
