Our company name says it all — we’re not just electricians, we’re specialists in PAT testing.

Portable Appliance Testing is a crucial part of ensuring electrical safety in workplaces, rental properties, and public venues. It’s not just a box-ticking exercise — it’s about keeping people safe and preventing electrical fires.

Electrical Inspections — EICRs

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is like a health check for your electrics. It’s essential for landlords, recommended for homeowners every 10 years, and required more frequently for certain commercial properties.

We carry out thorough EICRs to identify:

• Overloaded circuits

• Potential fire hazards

• Electric shock risks

• Defective wiring and components

• Lack of earthing or bonding

Our reports are clear, detailed, and jargon-free, so you know exactly what’s going on with your electrical system — and what needs to be done to make it safe.
