At Electrical Test Midlands, we deliver professional fixed wire testing in Derby, helping clients across residential, commercial and public sectors ensure their electrical systems remain safe, compliant and efficient. With over 20 years of experience and a team of City & Guilds-qualified engineers, we provide reliable testing, clear reporting and expert advice you can trust. We make compliance with UK regulations straightforward and stress-free, providing you with a clear Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) with actionable follow-up works if required.

Why Fixed Wire Testing is a Legal Necessity

All electrical installations deteriorate over time - cables age, components wear out and faults can develop unnoticed behind walls or above ceilings. If left unchecked, these issues can lead to serious safety risks including electric shock, fire hazards or equipment failure.

Our fixed wire testing service in Derby is designed to find and resolve these problems early. We carry out inspections in accordance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and BS 7671 (Wiring Regulations), providing you with an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) that outlines the safety and condition of your system.

What We Include in Our Derby Fixed Electrical Testing Service

Each inspection involves a combination of visual checks and electrical testing on key elements of your building’s fixed wiring, including:

• Distribution systems such as fuse boards, consumer units, isolators and switchgear
• Circuit protection, including MCBs, RCDs, RCBOs, fuses and surge devices
• Fixed cabling throughout walls, ceilings and floors, as well as junction boxes and connection points
• Permanently installed equipment such as sockets, lights, electric showers, cookers, heating circuits and emergency systems
• Earthing and bonding to pipework, water systems and supplementary locations like kitchens and bathrooms

All testing is carried out with minimal disruption to your property's day-to-day operations and in line with current industry standards.

Supporting Your Legal Obligations

If you're unsure whether your property complies with current legislation, we’re here to help. Many clients contact us for guidance around legal requirements such as the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.

After testing, we issue a clear EICR with any issues categorised as:

• C1 – Immediate danger – requires urgent remedial repairs
• C2 – Potentially dangerous – should be addressed soon
• C3 – Improvement recommended – not essential but advisable

If your installation is satisfactory, your report will confirm compliance. If defects are found, our in-house team can carry out all necessary remedial works, including upgrades to circuits or replacement of outdated equipment. We also offer thermal imaging and load monitoring for commercial or industrial environments.
