Testing & Repairs
Inspection & Testing ... why do I need to?
The simple answer is 'Duty of Care'
As an employer, or landlord, there are numerous Health & Safety legal requirements you must meet. These are generalised by the phrase 'Duty of Care' Employers have a Duty Of Care to provide a safe environment for those associated with their business – both employees and visitors to their workplace Similarly, landlords have a Duty of Care to provide a safe environment for their tenants. Implementing Electrical Inspection & Testing will demonstrate a commitment to complying with your Health & Safety obligations.
Preventative Maintenance
"A stitch in time …"
Inspection & Testing is also a useful maintenance procedure to highlight/uncover potential issues before these become an urgent situation, thus allowing time to plan cost-effective remedial repairs instead of must do emergency responses.
How safe are your electrics?
See a few examples in our Rogues Galley below
Blown fuse, bypassed with piece of wire
Heat damage caused by overloading, unseen when plugs were in place
Screw missing, Earth wire not properly connected
Flex not safely fitted to plug on left.
Metal bodied light fitting, but ...
... no supply cable Earth connection
Very loose connection at this socket, wiring came out of terminal during the inspection
Socket fault found ...
... wiring connected to the wrong terminals
The results of a loose connection at this shower’s pull-cord switch.
The over-heating has destroyed the switch …
… and turned the cable’s red insulation into this blackened and brittle condition.
Don't let this be you! Get it tested.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS
The old distribution arrangements and obsolete Voltage Trip had to be tidied up and modernised before NIE would fit a new meter
at DS Autos premises.
Fuse Board Upgrades
These two old Fuse Boards were replaced by one modern Consumer Unit with it’s easy to reset trips
instead of those fiddly fuse-wire carriers.
