Why Electrical Testing Matters More Than Ever
Electricity powers nearly every part of modern life — from household appliances to business-critical systems. But when electrical installations go unchecked, the risks can escalate quickly. Fires, shocks, equipment failure, and even voided insurance are just a few of the consequences.
That’s why regular electrical testing isn’t just a box-ticking exercise — it’s essential for protecting people, property, and your peace of mind.
At Two40 Electrical, we deliver comprehensive testing and certification services across Somerset, North Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset, Devon, London, and Gloucestershire. Whether you’re a landlord, a homeowner, or a business operator, our testing solutions are designed to keep you compliant, informed, and safe.
What Does Electrical Testing Involve?
Electrical testing involves a full inspection and evaluation of your fixed electrical systems. This includes checking your wiring, fuse boards (consumer units), switches, sockets, and more — ensuring that everything is functioning properly, safely, and in accordance with the latest UK regulations.
Key Benefits of Routine Electrical Testing:
- ✔️ Early detection of hidden faults and fire hazards
- ✔️ Protection against electric shocks and equipment damage
- ✔️ Legal compliance for landlords and businesses
- ✔️ Reduced risk of voided insurance claims
- ✔️ Confidence and safety for residents, guests, and staff
Our Core Electrical Testing Services
Our services are tailored to suit the needs of homes, rental properties, business premises, holiday parks, and more. Whether you’re based in a town centre flat in London or a rural holiday lodge in Devon, we’ve got you covered.
1. EICRs (Electrical Installation Condition Reports)
An EICR assesses the safety and integrity of your fixed electrical system and identifies any issues that could pose a risk or fall short of current standards (BS 7671).
- Landlords: Legally required every 5 years
- Homeowners: Recommended every 5–10 years, or when buying/selling
- Businesses: Essential for health & safety and insurance compliance
You’ll receive a clear, actionable report detailing any required remedial work.
2. PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing)
PAT testing confirms that your electrical appliances are safe for ongoing use — especially important in environments with multiple users.
We offer PAT testing for:
- Offices and retail units
- Holiday lets, Airbnbs, and serviced accommodation
- Cafés, workshops, and schools
- Rental homes and student properties
All items are tested, labelled, and logged, and a full certificate is provided for your records.
3. Landlord Safety Certification
Since July 2020, landlords in England are legally required to have their rental properties inspected and certified every five years. This applies to:
- Private rented homes
- HMOs (houses in multiple occupation)
- Short-term rentals and holiday lets
We issue compliant Electrical Safety Certificates that are recognised by insurers, letting agents, and local authorities.
4. Emergency Lighting & Fire Alarm Testing
Emergency systems must be tested regularly to ensure they work when they’re needed most. We provide:
- Routine checks and logs
- Fire alarm testing
- Exit route and emergency lighting inspections
- Maintenance and remedial work if needed
Our clients include commercial premises, hospitality venues, multi-residential buildings, and holiday parks across Gloucestershire, North Somerset, and beyond.
