How do you ensure the safety of your property’s electrical system?

Electrical systems in residential properties should be regularly inspected and maintained in order to ensure the safety of the landlord occupants. A faulty electrical system can cause death or injury by electrocution, burns from contact with live parts, explosions, or fire outbreaks. Any domestic electrical system should be inspected and tested by a registered competent person in accordance with the procedures laid out in BS7671 in order to verify that the design and installation of the electrical system is safe to use, maintain, and alter. As a result every property owner should have landlord domestic electrical safety certificate.



The electricians at Landlord Safety Certificate have the necessary qualifications and equipment to inspect and test domestic electrical systems to identify any problems and issue electrical safety certificate.

What does a domestic electrical safety certificate involves?

When we conduct an assessment of an electrical system and gives the landlord electrical safety certificate that we begin with a visual test. This involves looking for any visible signs of damage, deterioration, or unsafe use, such as worn out wiring insulation or overloaded plug sockets. We then conduct a series of tests to check, for instance, that all wires are connected properly, that wires are properly encased in electrical insulation material, that the arrangement of the earthing complies with regulations, and that the system is able to disconnect the power supply correctly if there is a fault.
