Periodic Inspection Report

Periodic Inspection Reports with AJ Shire

Periodic inspection reports are needed because all electrical installations deteriorate with age and use. They should be inspected and tested at appropriate intervals to check whether they are in a satisfactory condition for continued service and remain safe. Such ‘periodic inspection and testing’ safety checks are essential for all types of buildings.

Tests are also carried out on wiring and fixed electrical equipment to check that they are safe or may possibly cause a hazard. A schedule of circuits is also provided, which is invaluable for a property. You may also find that some insurance policies are void if inspection reports are not completed regularly so be sure to consider this.

We’ve been providing periodic inspection reports for decades and put simply a periodic inspection can check if:

Any of your electrical equipment or circuits is overloaded.
Find potential electric fire hazards and shock risks.
Identify any defective electrical work.
Highlight any issues with earthing or bonding.

Periodic inspection report lists any faults, possible concerns, and potential problems that need further investigation. The periodic inspection reports also provide a timescale for when action should be taken. The electrical test itself does not attempt to repair any problems that might be highlighted. The report can be used to decide whether to budget for any corrective works or additional investigation or even whether to purchase the property at all!
