Guidance suggests at least every five years for offices and shops, with shorter intervals for higher-risk premises. The inspector sets the next date on the report.
Can testing be done out of hours?
Yes. Fixed-wire testing needs circuits switched off, so we often test in the evening or at weekends to avoid disruption.

Yes. We provide electrical maintenance and testing across Hampshire, including Southampton and Winchester, Fareham.
Can electrical maintenance be combined with other services in Southampton?
Yes. Many Southampton customers combine it with cleaning, compliance management or reactive repairs under one contract and one monthly report.
