Services
Electrical Testing
Our electrical testing service provides comprehensive EICR reports to ensure compliance with BS7671 standards. Qualified engineers conduct visual inspections and advanced diagnostics to identify faults, safety risks, and recommendations. Ideal for landlords and homeowners seeking certification for property sales or rentals.
Gas Safety Certificates
Gas safety certificates are issued by Gas Safe registered engineers after inspecting boilers, cookers, and pipework. Required annually for rental properties, our service includes tightness tests, appliance checks, and documentation to meet legal obligations under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
EPC Reports
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) assess a property's energy efficiency on an A-G scale. Our accredited assessors evaluate insulation, heating systems, and carbon emissions to produce valid 10-year certificates required for property lettings or sales under UK law.
PAT Testing
Portable appliance testing ensures electrical devices meet safety standards. We test fixed and portable equipment in commercial and tenanted properties, providing labelling and documentation to comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
Fire Alarm Testing
Fire alarm testing follows BS5839 guidelines, covering Grade A and D systems. Our engineers perform functional checks, detector tests, and logbook updates to maintain compliance for commercial premises and HMOs.

Our lettings department have been using James and the team for our EICR requirements and have found them to be responsive, helpful and reasonably priced. We would recommend them to other agencies & private clients.

had an initial landlord electrical safety report noting need for new consumer board. They changed and then provided a new report as part of the service. All seems to be working well and they attended on time and were tidy.

Landlords AVOID AVOID. The company was contracted to do a EICR. After the inspection the electrician almost ran off explaining that he had to "check something" before providing an answer as to whether it had passed or not. I am paying for the expertise and don't expect the contractor to have to check the regulations. In reality, one unused circuit had to be disconnected and one had to be downgraded. This is 5 minutes simple work and I would have been happy to pay a small charge on the same day to do the work. It was blatent profiteering and a second visit cost me over 240GBP. In addition there
