These are often known or referred to as home buyer's surveys or landlord reports. We have extensive knowledge and experience of carrying out fixed wiring tests and the associated certification. We frequently test everything from a single domestic property up to commercial installations with dozens of distribution boards.
The institute of Electrical Engineers recommends the following maximum time frames between inspections and testing:
A full electrical inspection should also be undertaken when a property is being prepared for letting or when selling or buying a property. Following an inspection, we can then issue an electrical condition report detailing any non-compliance with current regulations.
Any issues found will be delivered with codes to the potential problems:
Code 1 – Danger Present, risk of injury, immediate action required
Code 2 – Potentially Dangerous – Urgent remedial action required
Code 3 – Improvement recommended
We specialise in the installation, testing and on-going maintenance of fire alarms and emergency lighting in let properties, moreover we are fully conversant with local HMO requirements. In addition to key holding services offered to our customers we also provide our testing and maintenance services for commercial and domestic properties.
A working fire alarm in your home can save lives – Bright Spark electricians recommend you having a smoke alarm installed on each floor of your home. To ensure it is working properly, you should test the alarm once a week and change the battery once a year. If your smoke alarm is over 10 years old we recommend replacing the whole unit.
As a landlord or letting agent, you must ensure that a smoke alarm is fitted on every story of your residence. In addition to this, a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in every room with a solid fuel burning appliance – these appliances must be tested and working before the start of any new tenancy.
