Ensuring domestic electrical safety is crucial, and all electrical systems in residential properties should be routinely inspected and maintained to protect the safety of occupants. Issues with home electrical safety can lead to burns, explosions, fires, or even fatalities.
All domestic electrical systems must be inspected and tested by a qualified individual following the guidelines set out in BS7671 to confirm that the design and installation of the electrical system are safe for use. Electrical testing for landlords will provide you with safety certificates that validate that all electrical systems have been tested and confirmed as safe.
When conducting electrical testing for landlords, we begin with a visual inspection to identify any visible signs of damage, deterioration, or unsafe usage, such as frayed wiring insulation or overloaded plug sockets. Following this, we perform a series of tests to ensure that wires are securely connected, properly encased in electrical insulation, and that the system can effectively disconnect the power supply in the event of a fault.
