What are electrical testing services?

Electrical compliance support for duty holders
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 place duties on employers, employees and self-employed people in relation to electrical systems used at work, and HSE’s guidance makes clear that electrical systems should be constructed and maintained so as to prevent danger. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
HSE also provides dedicated guidance on electrical inspection and testing and on controlling risks during test work, reinforcing the need for safe systems of work and competent people carrying out testing activities. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Translation into normal human language: leave it too long and the building eventually sends you an invoice with attitude.

Electrical Testing Services UK FAQs
What is fixed wire testing?
Fixed wire testing is the inspection and testing of a building’s fixed electrical installation, typically resulting in an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). It helps identify deterioration, damage, unsafe conditions and departures from relevant standards.
How often should electrical installations be tested?
HSE does not set one blanket testing interval for every workplace. Instead, inspection and testing frequency should reflect risk, environment, equipment condition, previous findings and how the installation is used. Equipment or installations in harsher environments generally need more frequent attention. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Is electrical testing a legal requirement?
Employers and duty holders have legal duties under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 to prevent danger from electrical systems in the workplace. Inspection, maintenance and testing are part of meeting those duties in practice. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Do you offer commercial electrical testing services?
Yes. We support commercial buildings, industrial premises, schools, property portfolios, retail environments, hospitality sites and other workplaces that need electrical testing services across the UK.
Can you support multi-site businesses?
Yes. We can help coordinate testing across multiple locations, making compliance easier to manage for estates teams, landlords and facilities managers.
What happens if defects are found?
Any issues identified during inspection and testing can be reviewed, prioritised and actioned through a remedial works plan. The aim is to reduce risk, improve safety and move the installation toward a satisfactory condition.
