Our electrical testing Epsom services cover a wide range of electrical testing such as RCD testing, fire alarms, portable appliances, emergency lighting and electrical installation condition reports (previously known as periodic inspections). There are many electrical testing services that are mandatory by law if you are a landlord or a commercial property owner; you will need documentation to prove that these electrical tests and inspections have taken place.
As a landlord, you have a duty of care to your tenants to ensure that the electrical installations within the property are safe to use to protect belongings being damaged and more importantly, to prevent electrical shocks and fires that could cause injury or death. Your main responsibility as a landlord is to ensure that the electrical installations are safe by obtaining regular electrical installation condition reports. This electrical installation condition report is mandatory when there is a change of tenants and every five years for a HMO. It is advised that you have an electrical test and inspection every five years for rented properties, but it is not a legal requirement.
During the electrical testing and inspection within an Epsom property, the electrician will inspect and test the electrical installations for:
If the electrical installations are deemed satisfactory, then you will be presented with an electrical certificate to prove this.
Another obligation for landlords is to ensure that they provide safe electrical appliances that have a CE marking present. Additionally, all landlords must have regular residual current devices checks as these are responsible for tripping the electrical flow when there is an overload or imbalance.
If you are the landlord of a HMO property, then when you enquire into our electrical testing Epsom services, let us know and we can ensure that you receive our HMO compliance services too.
Within commercial buildings, you also need to get an electrical installation condition report on a regular basis. Additionally, you must have your fire alarm systems and emergency lighting systems checked and tested on a regular basis. These tests would require using the fire alarm system to check that it can detect fires and the system is working correctly. With the emergency lighting tests, the lighting would need to be tested to ensure that the battery can last for at least three hours. Both these tests should be carried out every 6 months.
Our electrical testing Epsom services are in place to detect any faults within electrical systems. It’s better to detect an early fault and perform the relevant fixes before the malfunction of the electrical systems. When an electrical installation condition reported is presented to you, there will be three different grades that could be shown:
If our electrical testing Epsom services reveal that remedial works need to take place, then Lola Electrical engineers can perform any and all remedial works that are needed.
