As regulations and legal requirements are constantly changing, Bright Spark continually invest in on-going training. The latest software and test equipment allows us to provide you with the most cost effective options for your inspection and testing requirements.
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.

So who would've thought an electrician could have sorted a hot water problem? Well, after a plumber left us with an expensive bill and still no hot water, we called Bright Spark in the hope that they could at least tell us what the problem was. Lo and behold, within 30 minutes, Karen has given us hot water..............excellent service as ever from Bright Spark – thank you
We couldn’t single out any one person as they’re all great. Joe was very helpful today and made a lovely neat job of the work. We wouldn’t use any other company. Best wishes. Carolyn
We were very pleased with the recent electrical work which was carried out in a professional manner by your electrician and will certainly use your company again when future needs arise. Also I would be happy to recommend your services to any of our friends.
Thank you very much, and please pass on my thanks to Philip who completed the job. I appreciate it was an awkward space for him to work on, but everything was done so well and so quickly - I am very happy with the outcome! Will be returning to you for more jobs soon I’m sure!
Our timer on our central heating went and my husband was miles away at work,it was early evening when I phoned karen, but straight away she told me not to worry,to send a photo of the timer and she'd sort it out,and she did, an electrician came out with a new timer fitted it and was gone, brilliant service from start to finish, will definitely use them again and would highly recommend them
