What will an Electrical Inspection Find?

An inspection will:

  • Reveal if any of your electrical circuits or equipment are overloaded.
  • Find any potential electric shock risks and fire hazards.
  • Identify any defective electrical work.
  • Highlight any lack of earthing or bonding.

Tests are also carried out on wiring and fixed electrical equipment to check that they are safe.

A schedule of circuits is also provided, which is invaluable for a property.

 

EICR Document

To Carry out an EICR in a property. All electrical Appliances will be needed to be disconnected from the wall sockets, any essential equipment, may be left in and powered on until the time of the electrical tests carried out.

All electrical installations deteriorate with age and use. They should therefore be inspected and tested at regular intervals to check whether they are in a satisfactory condition for continued use.

Such safety checks are commonly referred to as 'periodic inspection and testing'. 

Once completed you will be issued with an Electrical Condition Report (EICR).

We used Bright Sparks to resolve some electrical problems. They succeeded where previous electricians failed! We found them to be reliable, courteous and fairly priced.

Just to say a big thank you for the work that your electrician carried out at my mothers house. He was very professional and a clean worker and the finished job was a complete success. It is very comforting to know that when a tradesperson attends the property of a elderly customer that they feel safe and happy. Once again, Thanks Keith

Keith, Pembury

Karen and her team of electricians are super responsive, very professional, and I love how they book an exact time and appointment with a follow-up confirmation text and email. I feel very confident in the quality of workmanship and know they will go out of their way to fix any electrical issues in my home!

I had an emergency situation arising from a constantly tripping appliance. A call to Bright Sparks, who have helped me before, led me to their website’s ‘Knowledge Centre’ and although I’ve used similar help sites before this was excellent – clear, well laid out, and logically organised – and as someone with zero electrical knowledge I managed to find the fault myself! I followed up the situation on the phone and got more advice. Really impressed by the Bright Sparks service and will continue to use them and their Knowledge Centre again in the future.
