Common questions
What should I have ready before you arrive?
Access to the board and to the affected area, plus any previous certificates. That is enough to start at the Caerphilly property.
What paperwork do I get?
The certification appropriate to the work, listing the circuits tested and the readings recorded, not a receipt with a tick on it.
Does this affect my insurance?
Insurers generally want evidence that the installation has been inspected and any defect addressed. The certification is that evidence.
Can the work be staged?
Often, yes. Where the findings allow it we prioritise what affects safety and leave the rest to be planned.
