Keeping Your Electrical Systems Safe & Reliable

This page covers two related but distinct maintenance services: fixed electrical maintenance for consumer units, circuits, sockets, lighting and compliance testing; and energy-system care for connected solar, battery and EV equipment where ongoing performance and safety matter. Planned inspection is the most practical way to keep a property safe, compliant and running without interruption. We offer EICRs, PAT testing, emergency fault-finding and maintenance contracts for domestic and commercial clients across Surrey and South West London. The next step is to tell us whether you need electrical inspection, a fault repair, or energy-system servicing so we can agree scope and quote accordingly.

Electrical Maintenance

Core electrical maintenance includes:

  • Periodic inspection and EICR testing to BS 7671.
  • Consumer unit, circuit and accessory checks.
  • Emergency fault-finding for tripping, dead circuits or burning smells.
  • PAT testing and commercial maintenance contracts.
  • Remedial repairs to wiring, bonding and protection devices.

Solar, Battery and EV System Care

Where a property has connected energy equipment, maintenance may also include:

  • Inverter, battery and charger performance checks.
  • Monitoring review and fault diagnosis on installed systems.
  • Verification that AC-side circuits supporting the system remain compliant.
  • Coordination with fixed-wire testing where both scopes apply.

We confirm whether your visit is electrical-only, energy-system-only, or combined before booking.

What Affects the Cost

  • Property size and circuit count - larger installations take longer to inspect and test.
  • Planned vs emergency attendance - reactive call-outs may carry different terms to booked inspections.
  • Commercial access - out-of-hours or occupied business premises can affect scheduling and cost.
  • Remedial work found on site - faults discovered during testing are quoted separately where needed.
  • Combined scopes - adding solar, battery or EV checks to an EICR increases survey time.

What We Offer

Engineer carrying out periodic inspection and EICR testing on a consumer unit

Periodic Inspection & EICR

Fixed-wire testing to BS 7671 with a full Electrical Installation Condition Report, including the consumer unit and circuits that support any solar, battery or EV charging equipment. Mandatory for landlords, recommended for any installation over ten years old, and often required for insurance and remortgage purposes.

Emergency Fault Finding & Repairs

Tripping breakers, dead circuits, inverter faults or burning smells? Our engineers diagnose and resolve faults quickly, using systematic testing to isolate the root cause and get your supply - and your energy system - restored safely.

PAT testing equipment used during a commercial electrical safety check

PAT Testing & Commercial Contracts

Portable appliance testing for offices, retail and hospitality. We also offer bespoke annual maintenance contracts covering planned visits, reactive call-outs and priority response for commercial clients.

Why Proactive Maintenance Pays

Most electrical failures are predictable. Loose terminations, overloaded circuits and ageing insulation all give early signs that trained engineers can identify long before they cause a fault - or worse, a fire. The same applies to solar and battery systems: a yield check or inverter inspection often catches a developing issue while it is still cheap to fix, rather than after it has affected performance.

For landlords, a valid EICR is a legal requirement and must be renewed every five years. For businesses, a documented maintenance programme demonstrates due diligence under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. We make compliance straightforward, providing clear certificates and remediation reports you can file with confidence.

Our Maintenance Process

1

1. Assess & Quote

You tell us what you need - annual inspection, emergency repair or a maintenance contract. We agree scope and give a clear, fixed quote.

2

2. Inspect & Test

Our engineer carries out a thorough visual and instrument test of the installation, recording all readings against BS 7671 requirements.

3

3. Report & Repair

You receive a written report with any observations categorised by urgency. We can carry out remedial work on the same visit where possible.

4

4. Certify & Follow Up

All completed work is certified and notified where required. We schedule your next inspection and send reminders to help you stay on top of your compliance dates.

Maintenance Questions

Does this page cover general electrical maintenance or energy-system maintenance?

Both. We maintain fixed electrical installations such as consumer units, circuits, sockets and lighting, and we also service connected solar, battery and EV equipment where we installed or maintain the wider system. We confirm scope at quotation stage.

When is an EICR required?

Landlords in England must renew an EICR at least every five years. Homeowners, buyers and commercial clients often request one before purchase, renovation, insurance renewal, or after a change of use. Properties over ten years old without a recent report are often due for inspection.

What affects the cost of maintenance or an EICR?

Property size, circuit count, access, whether the visit is planned or emergency, commercial out-of-hours attendance, remedial work found during testing, and whether solar, battery or EV checks are included all affect quotation scope.

Can remedial work be done on the same visit?

Minor remedial work can often be completed on the same visit where time and materials allow. Larger faults are quoted separately once identified during inspection.

Do you maintain solar, battery or EV systems installed by others?

We can often support systems we did not install, subject to survey and access to documentation, monitoring and safe isolation arrangements. Scope is confirmed before booking.
