Keeping electrical safety in check

Keeping electrical safety in check

A state of shock

24th May 2019

As experienced electrical safety testing specialists we've made our fair share of shocking discoveries when carrying out PAT testing and fixed wire testing at clients’ premises, but even we were taken aback this week. Undertaking routine testing at a rental property, we discovered an iron that was falling apart but still in use, as well as a shower switch that was showing severe signs of wear and tear. As the images show, both discoveries presented potential danger and fire risk to the tenants who were living at the property, all of which emphasises the value of regular electrical safety testing.

We offer PAT testing and fixed wire testing for landlords and letting agents in Cambridge, so please contact us to request a no-obligation quotation to help ensure that your tenants are living in a safe environment.
