A Periodic Inspection is an inspection on the condition of an existing electrical installation, to identify (in order of priority) any deficiencies against the national safety standard for electrical installations.

The report takes in the region of 1-3 Hours to complete depending on the size and complexity of the property. Once the report has been completed the Landlord/Homebuyer will receive a signed report outlining the engineer’s findings and recommendations if necessary.

Portable appliance testing, or PAT testing, as it is more commonly known, is the procedure whereby Residential electrical equipment e.g. Toaster’s, Kettle’s, Fridge freezer’s and Televisions are tested using an instrument (PAT test machine) and visually checked for electrical safety. PAT testing is usually carried out on rented accommodation annually to make sure that electrical appliances that are being left for a tenant are safe to use and also protect landlords against the Consumer protection act (1987) and the electrical equipment act (1994). When the engineer is in the property conducting the test he or she will put stickers on all of the appliances confirming they have been tested.
