Why Fixed Wire Testing is Essential

Electrical installations naturally deteriorate with time. Cables can degrade, insulation can fail and overloaded circuits can develop hidden faults - especially in older or heavily used buildings. These unseen issues can lead to fire, electric shock or serious system failure if left unchecked.

The only way to confirm the safety and legal compliance of your property's fixed wiring is through accredited inspection and certification. At ETM, our fixed wire testing service in Birmingham provides full Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), giving you the documentation and peace of mind to meet your responsibilities under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the latest BS 7671 IET Wiring Regulations.

What Our Fixed Wire Testing Service Covers

Each fixed wire inspection in Birmingham includes both visual assessments and in-depth electrical testing of your building’s permanent electrical systems such as:

• Distribution equipment – Consumer units, fuse boards, main panels, switchgear, isolators and power supply arrangements
• Circuit protection – Fuses, MCBs, RCDs, RCBOs, surge devices and all protective components
• Permanent wiring – Cabling routed through floors, ceilings and walls, junction boxes, terminations and connection methods
• Fixed devices – Light switches, sockets, electric showers, cookers, immersion heaters, fixed heating, emergency lighting and fire alarms
• Earthing and bonding – Protective bonding for water and gas pipework, main earth terminals and earth electrodes where fitted

Our Birmingham engineers ensure all testing is thorough and carried out with minimal disruption to your operations.

Supporting Compliance with Clear, Actionable Reports

It’s common for property owners and facilities managers to be uncertain about their current compliance position, especially when new standards or regulations come into effect. We’re here to help you stay ahead of requirements, including those outlined in the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. 

After testing, we’ll issue a clear and structured EICR identifying any issues or risks, categorised as:

• C1 – Immediate danger requiring urgent remedial works and repairs
• C2 – Potentially hazardous, needing prompt attention
• C3 – Non-critical but recommended improvements

If no issues are found, your report will confirm full compliance and remain valid until your next inspection period. Where defects are identified, our in-house electrical team can deliver cost-effective remedial work, from replacing outdated components to upgrading systems to meet modern safety standards. For commercial environments, we also offer optional load monitoring and thermal imaging to support performance and future planning.
