Electricians for Electrical Inspections and Reports
There are many different reasons for commissioning an Electrical Inspection and
you will need to discuss your requirement with your chosen Electrician to
decide what is best for you. If you are considering the purchase of a property
which has old wiring you might want some expert advise as to whether the
building needs a complete rewire or only a minor updating. In the case of very
old wiring the Electrician will advise a full rewire in which case a though
program of electrical testing throughout the property would probably not be
very beneficial. Instead the report is more likely to just concentrate on
estimating the possible costs to upgrade.
If you are purchasing a more modern property then you might require a full
periodic inspection with testing to confirm that everything is ok.
If you are a landlord then you may require testing of your property to meet
legislative requirements.
Should remedial work be required to upgrade an Electrical Installation and make
it compliant with modern standards, your chosen Electrician may be able to help
you with this or alternatively you could run an listing request for Local
Electricians covering your area.

It is important that electrical installation work is carried out only by
persons who are competent. Such persons are those that have the necessary
knowledge, skill and experience to enable them to avoid dangers to themselves
and others that electricity can create. It is strongly recommended that you use
an electrician registered with one of the government-approved schemes to carry
out any electric installation work that you need doing.
Registered electricians will work to the UK national standard, BS 7671, and
will issue a safety certificate for their electrical work to confirm that the
installation has been designed, constructed, inspected and tested, in
accordance with the national electrical safety standard, BS 7671 - Requirements
for Electrical Installations.
You should ensure that your chosen Electrician is registered with one of the
following organisations:
BRE Certification Ltd
British Standards Institution
ELECSA Ltd
NAPIT Registration Ltd
NICEIC Group Ltd
SELECT (Scotland)
