2) Why Are Testing & Inspections Important?

Electrical testing and inspection is the process of verifying that your electrical installations are safe, compliant, and operating correctly. It involves a detailed visual inspection and a series of electrical tests using calibrated instruments. This process helps identify:

  • Worn or damaged wiring
  • Outdated consumer units or fuse boards
  • Poorly installed electrical work
  • Non-compliance with BS 7671 wiring regulations
  • Potential fire or electric shock risks

Whether you're moving into a new property, renting one out, upgrading your installation, or dealing with recurring electrical issues, regular testing ensures peace of mind and legal compliance.

    I had an excellent experience with Lee from Phase 1 Plumbing and Heating. He was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. Lee quickly diagnosed the issue with my leaking pipe and explained everything clearly before starting the repair. The work was done efficiently and to a very high standard. He even cleaned up the area afterward, leaving everything spotless. The pricing was fair, and there were no hidden fees. I would highly recommend Phase 1 to anyone in need of plumbing services and will definitely call them again in the future!

    Lee has done a great deal of work for us when we had a large extension done on our house. He installed our underfloor heating in our downstairs area and fitted a whole new heating system as well as two new bathrooms and the plumbing for our new kitchen. Our experience is that his work is to the highest quality. He's meticulous with his attention to detail, talks you through each job, and nothing is too much trouble in order to get the best results. We can't recommend him highly enough.
