Welcome to ElectroTest
Tel: 020 8213 5899
We specialise in testing electrical installations in domestic and commercial
properties. We provide comprehensive and unbiased reports on the condition
of your installation. All testing is carried out in accordance with Part P
of the Building Regulations and the latest edition of the IEE Wiring
Regulations, BS7671.
Reporting is on NICEIC forms (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contractors) or IEE forms (Institute of Electrical Engineers).

Electrical Installation Certificate
Any electrician installing a new circuit or altering, extending or adapting
an existing circuit should issue the property owner with an Electrical
Installation Certificate or Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate
on completion to confirm the work complies with the requirements of BS 7671.
Periodic Inspection Report
An electrical survey, known as a Periodic Inspection Report (PIR), will
determine if an existing electrical installation complies with the latest IEE
Wiring Regulations, BS7671. It will reveal if circuits are overloaded,
find potential hazards in the installation, identify defective DIY work and
highlight any lack of earth bonding. It includes electrical tests on the
fixed wiring to determine it is safe. The report will establish the overall
condition of all the electrics and state whether it is satisfactory for
continued use, and detail any rectification work that might be needed.
Visual Electrical Inspection
A Visual Inspection is normally done as part of one of the other surveys but
they can be done on there own. It identifies defects, damage and
deterioration of the installation, together with the general level of
compliance with the latest IEE Wiring Regulations. As this type of
inspection does not include electrical tests, it cannot alone
determine whether the installation is safe for continued use. A full
Periodic Inspection and Test to BS7671 would be required for this.
Property Pre-Purchase
Survey
We provide either a Visual Electrical Inspection to check key parts of an
installation or a full Periodic Inspection and Test which is more useful to
property purchasers because it is more thorough.
Landlords Safety
Inspection
Some Electricians recommend Visual Electrical Inspections for Landlords
Safety Inspections because they are cheaper. Since Visual Inspections do not
include electrical tests, they cannot alone certify the safety of an electrical
installation and
we recommend a full Periodic Inspection instead.
Price Guide
Prices depend on the number of circuits to be tested. Typically they would be:
| Periodic Inspection and Test or Electrical Installation Test | |
| One or two bedroom properties (up to 4 circuits/fuses) | £120.00 |
| Each additional circuit/fuse | £15.00 |
| Visual Electrical Inspection (small property) | £80 |
| Commercial properties | site survey required |
Note these prices are inclusive and
assume that the property has only one fuse box and and that circuits are
readily
identifiable, i.e. labelled.
Based in Esher, we provide testing services in Surrey and West London. Please call for a a free quote or more information.
