01
Choose the electrical safety work you need
Start with what you need to establish. You may want to understand the condition of fixed wiring, assess equipment used at work or consider protective improvements. If there is an active fault, burning smell or visible damage, use the repair and safety route rather than waiting for a routine inspection.
02
Electrical inspections or protective upgrades?
An inspection assesses a defined subject and produces findings. Installation work changes or adds equipment. They can be linked, but a report does not automatically include every repair it identifies. The inspections group explains assessment options; protective systems covers earthing, surge protection and domestic alarms.
03
What an electrical check covers
Fixed wiring, portable equipment and fire detection have different scopes. A check of one should not be assumed to cover all three. Explain the property use and why the work is needed, particularly for a rental or commercial setting where records and responsibilities may differ from an owner-occupied home.
04
Plan repairs from inspection findings
Ask what the findings mean, what needs attention and which parts could not be assessed. A useful next step is a defined scope of necessary work, not an unspecified safety upgrade. Keep reports and installation records so later contractors can understand the existing arrangement and previous findings.
05
Request electrical safety service quotes
Choose the page that matches the immediate question: condition reporting, a purchase-related assessment, equipment testing or a protective installation. Include existing records and access limitations in your enquiry. This helps quotes address the actual property and purpose rather than a generic checklist.
Electrical service questions
Questions about electrical safety
Which check covers fixed wiring?
An electrical installation condition report concerns the fixed installation within its agreed extent. Confirm which areas and circuits are included and ask about any limitations.
Does an inspection include repairs?
Not automatically. Agree inspection and remedial scopes separately, including how findings will be explained and how any further work will be authorised.
Where should a landlord start?
Use the rental property page to consider access, records and responsibilities, then the relevant inspection or installation page for the technical service scope.
