Ensuring Electrical Safety with Advanced Fault Diagnosis
Electric Diagnostics
Electrical testing is carried out to ensure that all installations within a property operate in line with regulatory standards. This not only protects occupants but also helps property owners and businesses avoid penalties for non-compliance. Under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1984, the duty of care owed by property owners extends beyond tenants to anyone who may come into contact with the premises, meaning that all reasonable safety checks and precautions must be implemented.
Electrical engineers perform a wide range of physical and visual assessments designed to minimise major safety risks such as electric shocks and fires. Over time, appliances and installations naturally deteriorate, often due to system overloading. Regular testing helps to identify and address these risks before they develop into serious problems, ensuring ongoing safety and compliance.
In addition, many organisations, including insurance providers, require frequent electrical testing as part of their conditions. Failure to complete inspections within the required timeframe can result in invalidated cover, leaving property owners exposed to financial risk.
A typical electrical test will usually include:
Identifying any defective electrical circuits.
Detecting any electrical circuits in the case of overloading.
Identifying any lack of bonding and earthing.
Bringing out information about potential fire hazards or electric shocks.

Spotlights, also known as downlights, are a stylish way to illuminate any room. They are particularly popular in kitchens, where they can be fitted under cabinets or above worktops, but are equally effective in other parts of the home or workplace.
There are several types of downlights to choose from, including:
Recessed downlights: The most common type, widely used in homes, offices, and many other buildings.
Surface downlights: Ideal for properties where recessed installation isn’t possible, such as those with concrete ceilings.
Pendant luminaires: Selected mainly for their aesthetic appeal, as they hang down from the ceiling.
Semi-recessed downlights: With the main body concealed within the ceiling, these are often chosen in homes or properties that want to feature a decorative ceiling.

Legal Requirements for EICR
Alongside the safety benefits already highlighted, it is important to note that obtaining an EICR is also a legal requirement for certain types of residential properties in London.
This is an area where compliance standards and safety regulations work together to ensure electrical systems are not only functional but fundamentally safe.
Landlords are a key focus of these legal frameworks. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, they must ensure that all electrical installations in their rental properties are inspected and tested by a qualified person at least once every five years. The regulations also require landlords to provide a copy of the EICR to both new and existing tenants on request.
This requirement is not a matter of simple bureaucracy it plays a vital role in preventing electrical hazards. Compliance is not just about following the law; it is about actively protecting tenant safety. Failure to comply risks significant penalties and, more importantly, endangers lives.
For homeowners, although not currently bound by the same legal obligations, aligning with these standards is strongly advised. Regular electrical checks, while not compulsory, are an effective way to prevent failures and to keep pace with evolving safety expectations.
