authorities and social housing providers, ensuring properties are safe, compliant, and fit for

purpose:

Electrical Inspection and Testing

Regular inspections are essential for maintaining safety and compliance in social housing. We conduct thorough Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR), PAT

testing, and other safety checks to ensure properties remain compliant with regulations. Our detailed reports provide actionable insights to help housing providers manage risks and maintain safe environments.

existing properties and are ideal for both communal car parks and individua residential installations.
