Electrical Safety In Your Home

Electricity powers your everyday life, from your morning coffee to your evening wind-down. That’s why we carry out regular checks to keep your home’s electrical systems safe, reliable, and up to standard.

What We Do

We check the electrical wiring in your home at least every 5 years.

In communal areas and sheltered housing, we carry out safety inspections every 5 years.

Empty properties are fully tested before new tenants move in.

Portable electrical appliances in communal areas are tested every year, with safety labels clearly attached.

Safety Tips For Your Home

A few simple habits can help keep you and your home safe:

  • Don’t overload plug sockets – use extension leads with surge protection if needed.
  • Switch off appliances when not in use, especially overnight.
  • Check for damaged cables or plugs – and don’t use anything that looks unsafe.
  • Keep water away from electrical items, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Use the right bulbs for your light fittings to avoid overheating.
  • Test your smoke alarms regularly – they’re your first line of defence.
