Our Inspection and Testing Services

Sentient Electrical offers a full range of inspection and testing services, each aimed at maximising the safety and efficiency of your electrical systems. All services are carried out by experienced electricians for both businesses and customers, ensuring tailored solutions for every client.

Our services include:

Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)

An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a detailed examination of the electrical systems within a property, assessing the condition of wiring, circuits, and appliances to ensure they meet safety standards. EICR testing involves a series of tests and visual inspections carried out by a qualified electrician to assess the safety of the installation. Upon completion of the inspection, an EICR certificate is issued, and a valid EICR is required by landlords, tenants, and local authorities to demonstrate compliance with electrical safety regulations. The report will highlight any issues identified, including danger present (C1) and potentially dangerous (C2) faults, and may recommend remedial work or further investigation before a satisfactory certificate can be issued. Landlords need an EICR to meet their legal obligations and avoid legal consequences, ensuring the ongoing safety of their tenants and compliance with the law.

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)

PAT testing ensures that all relevant electrical appliances used within your business are safe and free from electrical faults that could pose a risk to users. The process includes a visual inspection to identify any visible safety issues before conducting further electrical tests. Our team performs thorough PAT tests on all relevant appliances, providing certification and records for compliance and auditing purposes.

This process is typically carried out by qualified professionals to ensure that all electrical installations, from circuits and sockets to distribution boards, are safe and compliant. Fixed wire testing is crucial for identifying potential risks, ensuring compliance, and maintaining safe electrical installations in line with legal requirements.
