EICRs
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (or EICR) is a vital part of modern-day electrical safety. Think of it as a health check on your electrical installation. This can be residential, commercial or industrial. The survey will consist of one of our highly trained engineers picking apart the electrical system looking for any non-conformities or hazards waiting to be or already being dangerous to human life or property. Using specialist diagnostic equipment, we can ascertain the health of the cabling and circuitry even if its hidden under floors or within walls. Homeowners should have this check carried out at least every 10 years with property landlords of private flats/houses as well as communal hallways in blocks of flats being every 5 years minimum. Commercial outlets should also be every 5 years at least.
Fire Risk Assessment
Fire Risk Assessments are an essential part of managing both domestic and commercial properties. In particular, communal ways of blocks of flats both large and small are required to have a detailed assessment carried out in order to comply with various fire safety laws. Our fire consultants will visit the property and produce a detailed document listing all non-compliances along with practical solutions on carrying out remedial works to stay the right side of the law. If you are involved with owning and managing freehold properties then it is imperative that these assessments are kept up to date and complied with. Get in touch today to see how we can help.
PAT Testing
PAT testing is the inspection and testing of portable appliances. Many insurance companies require this to be carried out on commercial properties and residential rentals. Our in-house team can ensure all appliances are safe for continued use and advise on re-test schedules. Usually, appliances should be tested once per year, but this can vary depending on a risk assessment. We carry out this service for many rental agencies as well as offices.
