Services
PAT Testing
Portable Appliance Testing ensures electrical equipment complies with UK safety standards, reducing fire risks and legal liabilities. We test and certify all appliances, providing detailed reports to insurers and regulatory bodies. Our flexible scheduling minimises workplace disruption.
EICR Inspections
Electrical Installation Condition Reports assess fixed wiring safety and compliance with BS 7671. Required every 3-5 years for commercial properties, these inspections identify faults and hazards. We provide clear certification and remedial action plans.
Fire Alarms
BS 5839-compliant fire alarm installation, servicing, and maintenance ensure early fire detection. We design systems tailored to building type, including manual and automatic detectors, with regular testing to guarantee reliability.
Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting risk assessments and maintenance ensure compliance with BS 5266-1. We verify illumination of escape routes, battery backup duration, and signage clarity to safeguard occupants during power failures.
Fire Risk Assessments
Comprehensive fire risk assessments identify hazards and mitigation measures under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. We evaluate escape routes, fire extinguishers, and staff training to ensure full compliance.

Questions
What are the legal requirements for workplace electrical safety in the UK?
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, businesses must maintain safe electrical systems. Compliance with BS 7671 and regular EICRs/PAT testing are required to meet health and safety obligations.
How often should an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) be conducted?
Commercial buildings require EICRs every 5 years, industrial sites every 3 years, and landlord properties every 5 years to ensure ongoing compliance and safety.
What fire alarm categories does BS 5839 specify?
BS 5839 defines categories L (life protection) and P (property protection). L1 covers maximum coverage, while P1 focuses on full building protection. System design depends on fire risk assessment outcomes.
Why is emergency lighting testing required?
BS 5266-1 mandates monthly function tests and annual full-duration tests to ensure emergency lighting operates during power failures, maintaining safe evacuation routes.
Do I need surge protection for my business?
BS 7671 requires surge protection risk assessments. SPDs are essential for data centres, manufacturing plants, and buildings with lightning protection systems to prevent electrical damage.
How does thermal imaging benefit electrical maintenance?
Thermal imaging detects overheating components, identifying potential faults before failure. This proactive approach reduces downtime and prevents fire risks caused by electrical issues.
