At Electrical Test Midlands, we provide comprehensive fixed wire testing services throughout Wolverhampton, supporting residential, commercial and public sector clients with expert electrical safety inspections. With over 20 years of experience, our qualified engineers help local property owners and managers ensure their electrical installations comply with UK safety legislation and operate safely for all users. Our team is fully trained to City & Guilds standards, guaranteeing consistent, high-quality inspections trusted by organisations across Wolverhampton and the West Midlands.

The Importance of Fixed Wire Testing

Electrical systems naturally wear over time. Wiring insulation can degrade, circuits may become overloaded and faults can develop invisibly within walls and ceilings. If left unchecked, these hidden issues pose serious risks including fire, electric shock and costly system failures.

Fixed wire testing is the essential service to confirm the condition and safety of your building’s electrical infrastructure. Our Wolverhampton inspections produce Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) that ensure your property meets the requirements of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the latest BS 7671 wiring standards.

What’s Included in Our Fixed Wire Testing Service

Each fixed wire test we conduct in Wolverhampton involves a detailed visual check and electrical testing of all permanent wiring and equipment covering:

• Distribution systems – Consumer units, fuse boards, switchgear, isolators and supply arrangements
• Circuit protection devices – MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers), RCDs (Residual Current Devices), RCBOs, surge protectors and fuses
• Permanent wiring – Cables concealed in walls, floors and ceilings, junction boxes and connections
• Fixed electrical installations – Lighting circuits, sockets, cookers, immersion heaters, showers, emergency lighting and fire alarm systems
• Earthing and bonding – Main earth terminals, equipotential bonding to pipes, supplementary bonding in wet areas and earth electrodes where applicable

We carry out testing with minimal disruption, ensuring your building remains operational throughout the inspection.

Helping You Stay Legally Compliant

Many clients contact us unsure if their property meets electrical safety standards - especially landlords, building managers and facility operators who must comply with regulations such as the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.

Upon completion of the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive EICR detailing any defects or non-compliance, classified as follows:

• C1 – Immediate danger requiring urgent remedial actions and repairs
• C2 – Potential danger needing prompt attention
• C3 – Improvement recommended but not urgent

If your installation passes, you’ll receive certification valid until your next scheduled inspection. Should any issues be identified, our skilled electrical installation team can provide cost-effective remedial solutions, from repairs to full upgrades. We also offer follow-up thermal imaging and load monitoring services, particularly valuable for commercial premises.
