I needed urgent repairs in order to obtain an EICR certificate for my new tenant to move in before Christmas. Although the parts required were rare, Phil spoke to a trusted supplier and obtained them. Then thanks to Dave, one of his many fine technicians completed the work with only a day to spare before the Christmas break. FIVE STAR Customer service as usual. Thank you all!

Our periodic inspections and testing are a sensible precaution to protect you and your family

All electrics in your home will deteriorate with age and use. So it’s always wise to inspect and test them regularly to ensure they’re in good, safe working order.

Such safety checks are commonly referred to as ‘periodic inspection and testing’ and our friendly team of NICEIC-registered electricians can carry them out for you affordably and without any fuss.

And this is what we’ll be looking for

  • Electrical circuits or equipment that are overloaded
  • Potential electric shock risks and fire hazards
  • Defective electrical work
  • Any lack of earthing or bonding

We can also test your wiring and fixed electrical equipment to check that they’re safe.

How often is a periodic inspection required?

For owner-occupiers, your electrics should be inspected and tested every 10 years. If you’re a tenant, your landlord should be inspecting your property’s electrics every five years. If you’re renting, we recommend you check with your landlord to make sure this is happening.

Other times when a periodic inspection should be carried out are:

  • When a property is being prepared for letting
  • Before selling a property or buying a previously occupied property

Who should carry out the periodic inspection and what happens?

Periodic inspection and testing should be carried out only by electrically competent persons, such as our NICEIC-registered electricians. They will check the condition of the electrics against the UK standard for the safety of electrical installations, BS 7671 – Requirements for Electrical Installations (IET Wiring Regulations).

The competent person will then issue you with an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) which will detail any damage, deterioration, defects and dangerous conditions.

If anything dangerous or potentially dangerous is found, the overall condition of the electrical installation will be declared to be unsatisfactory, which means remedial action is needed without delay to ensure you and your family or flatmates are not at risk.

Extremely happy with the standard of work carried out by Glenfield Electrical and with the levels of attention received from all the staff we came into contact with.

Philip was very professional and efficient. A very polite man, his management and work that was offered was first class. The 2 electricians who completed the work of carrying out landlords safety certificates of 7 flats was efficient and first-class. I would recommend Glenfield Electrical to anyone and would have no hesitation in using them again. And the price was good.
