Testing Russell Services undertake a broad range of electrical inspection and testing around the UK, ranging from the Home Buyers Report as requested by many mortgage lenders, insurance companies, letting agents through to full commercial certification of new & existing installations. Periodic Inspection and Testing is recommended by the Institute of Electrical Engineers, laid out in the requirements for Electrical Installations (BS 7671). Periodic Inspection and Testing should be carried out by suitably qualified personnel on a regular basis, at least every 10 years for a domestic property and every 5 years for a commercial property. All of our test equipment is subject to calibration checks in order to maintain instrument accuracy. We would recommend that all our customers seriously considering a property purchase, whether a domestic or commercial premises, carry out a Periodic Inspection Report. We have found on several occasions that customers have completed their purchase only to discover that a property that appeared modern and indeed attractive on the surface was in fact disguising a multitude of dangerous electrical problems.
These may have ranged from properties with inadequate earthing, old cable crumbling, connector blocks used to joint cables, burnt sockets, switches and consumer units, non waterproof sockets over sinks and baths, cables gnarled by vermin in attics, multiple rooms inadequately supplied from one circuit etc. This type of problem would be identified by a Periodic Inspection and many of our customers have re-negotiated their purchase of properties with the knowledge (and quotation) supplied by our company.
Landlords and Letting Agents We carry out Periodic Inspection Reports for several local Estate Agencies, often collecting keys for access to properties at their convenience with the assurance that all our staff are uniformed and carry company identification.
