Testing intervals follow statutory requirements: every 5 years for commercial premises and 10 years for domestic properties.

Government-approved installations for domestic and commercial EV charging points. We handle full project management from design to OLEV-compliant installation, including smart meter integration and network operator coordination. Our engineers complete installations within 2-3 hours, with upfront pricing and warranty included.
Emergency Lighting Checks
BS EN 50172-compliant testing including monthly functional checks and annual 3-hour discharge tests. We verify maintained/non-maintained unit performance, log results digitally, and provide remedial recommendations.
