Periodic reports

Periodic reports
North East Electrics we are dedicated in helping you ensure that your electrical installations are maintained in a safe condition. We examine all installations for compliance with the latest British Standards ‘BS 7671 IEE Wiring Regulations’.
Why test the installation?
Due to a number of factors damage wear and tear, excessive loading and ageing, all electrical installations deteriorate. By testing, existing faults can be identified and then corrected. Also any possible faults can be prevented emitting loss of electricity and down time.
Electrical periodic inspections prices
Commercial – £300 fixed site charge including testing of up to and including 10 circuits. Every circuit thereafter is charged at a rate of £25 per circuit
Residential – Bedsit £85, 1 Bed £100, 2 Bed £120, 3 Bed (or 2 bed maisonette) £130, 4 Bed (or 3 bed maisonette) £260+, 5 Bed £300
Note - this is based on the assumption that we are provided suitable access to the electrical installation
When to consider periodic inspection and testing of the installation:
Change of ownership
Change of tenancy
Change of use of premises
To verify continued compliance with BS 7671
To comply with insurance companies
To meet your health and safety requirements and comply with:
Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998
The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974
The Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation (England) Regulations 2006

Domestic Electrical Testing can be hazardous, both to the tester and to others who are within the area of the installation during the test. The danger is compounded if tests are not carried out in the correct sequence.
For example, it is of great importance that the continuity, and hence the effectiveness, of protective conductors is confirmed before the insulation resistance test is carried out. The high voltage used for insulation testing could appear on all extraneous metalwork associated with the installation in the event of an open-circuit protective conductor if insulation resistance is very low.
Again, an earth-fault loop impedance test cannot be conducted before an installation is connected to the supply, and the danger associated with such a connection before verifying polarity, protective system effectiveness and insulation resistance will be obvious.
Any test which fails to produce an acceptable result must be repeated after remedial action has been taken. Any other tests, whose results may have been influenced by the fault concerned must also be repeated.
8.3.2 - Correct testing sequence
Some tests will be carried out before the supply is connected, whilst others cannot be performed until the installation is energized. {Table 8.5} shows the correct sequence of testing to reduce the possibility of accidents to the minimum.
