What Is Electrical Inspection and Testing?
Electrical inspection and testing involves assessing the condition and safety of an electrical installation.
The process combines visual inspection with electrical measurements to identify defects, deterioration, unsafe connections and other conditions that could increase the risk of electric shock or fire.
Depending on the agreed inspection scope, testing may include:
Consumer unit and protective device checks.
Electrical circuit inspection and testing.
Earthing and bonding assessment.
Insulation resistance testing.
Electrical continuity measurements.
RCD protection and operation checks.
Socket outlets, switches and lighting assessments.
Identification of damaged or deteriorated wiring.
Our electricians explain their findings and advise whether further investigation, repairs or improvements are recommended.

Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)
An Electrical Installation Condition Report evaluates the safety and condition of an existing electrical installation.
An EICR is particularly useful when purchasing property, managing rental accommodation, assessing older electrical systems or reviewing the condition of commercial premises.
The report records the results of the inspection and testing, including any observed defects and recommendations.
Typical observation codes include:
C1 – Danger Present: Immediate risk that requires urgent safety action.
C2 – Potentially Dangerous: A defect requiring urgent remedial attention.
C3 – Improvement Recommended: An improvement is advised but does not, by itself, make the report unsatisfactory.
FI – Further Investigation: Additional investigation is required without delay.
An installation receiving C1, C2 or FI observations will normally be classified as unsatisfactory until the relevant issues have been addressed.
Electrical Testing for Landlords
Landlords have important responsibilities concerning the electrical safety of rented accommodation.
In England, applicable electrical safety regulations require relevant rented properties to undergo periodic inspection and testing by a qualified and competent person at intervals not exceeding five years, or sooner where the report requires it.
Landlords must obtain the appropriate inspection report and meet applicable requirements concerning provision of reports and remedial work.
God Electrical Ltd provides electrical inspection services for rental properties, helping landlords understand the condition of installations and identify required improvements.
Our services are suitable for landlords, property managers and letting agents who need dependable electrical safety assessments.
How Often Should Electrical Testing Be Carried Out?
The appropriate inspection interval depends on the type of property, installation condition, environment and applicable legal requirements.
For typical owner-occupied homes, inspection at intervals of around ten years is commonly recommended, subject to earlier inspection where circumstances justify it.
Privately rented accommodation in England generally requires inspection at least every five years, or sooner where specified.
Commercial inspection intervals should be determined through an appropriate assessment of the installation and its operating conditions.
An electrician may recommend an earlier inspection date where safety concerns, environmental conditions or installation history indicate an increased risk.
What happens if my installation fails an EICR?
An unsatisfactory result means defects or concerns have been identified that require appropriate action. We can explain the observations and discuss any necessary remedial work.
Does electrical testing include appliance testing?
Fixed electrical installation testing and portable appliance testing are different services. Let us know if you also require appliance inspection and testing so that the appropriate service can be discussed.
