Fixed wire testing of all electrical installations is required to adhere to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989

We have a wealth of expertise in fixed wire testing, and our engineers can help you to keep your electrical system in good working order, to ensure it is safe for the public and your employees.

After your fixed wire test, a full report will be issued detailing all of your distribution boards and circuits, and any faults present in the installation. This report will make you fully aware of the layout of your electrical system. This will help your in-house maintenance staff reduce production downtime and increase productivity – saving you time and money.

Requirements

Fixed wire testing, or periodic testing, is an inspection and test of the wiring embedded in the fabric of the building. It connects your distribution boards to your sockets, lights, and other appliances.

Fixed wire testing is necessary to comply with the requirements under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, which insist that the electrical system is in good working order, and is safe and fit for purpose. The only way to ensure this is to have your electrical installation properly tested.

Typically, installations require testing at either three or five year intervals, and we are able to offer a bespoke solution to your requirement should you wish to split the cost, or divide the time we will need to be on site over the five year period.

We will help you spread the cost of the testing according to your budget, or create a specific timescale to fit the works, which ever provide the best solution.

Most insurance companies now require a valid fixed wire test has been carried out on your premises (this is known as an Electrical Installation Condition Repor or ‘EICR’). Many insurers will invalidate insurance policies until the report has been completed.

We are experienced in dealing with insurance companies, and can liaise directly with them on your behalf.

Our track record and client base  are second-to-none. Rest assured that your electrical installation is in the hands of highly qualified industry professionals.
