Electrical safety isn’t just about keeping the lights on; it’s about protecting your home, your loved ones and your peace of mind. At 12 Electrical & Emergency Electrician Ltd, we provide comprehensive electrical safety inspections and compliance testing for domestic properties throughout South Wales, Bristol, Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Weston-super-Mare. Our fully qualified engineers carry out thorough assessments, identify potential hazards, and ensure your home meets all current UK wiring regulations.
Why Electrical Safety Inspections Matter
Every year, thousands of UK house fires are caused by electrical faults. Regular inspections help detect hidden issues before they become dangerous – from loose connections and overloaded circuits to damaged wiring or outdated consumer units. Whether you’re a homeowner ensuring ongoing safety or a landlord meeting legal responsibilities, our safety inspections give you complete confidence that your electrical system is safe, compliant, and up to modern standards.
What Our Safety & Compliance Checks Include
Our inspection services are designed to suit homes of every size and age. Each visit includes:
- Visual and mechanical checks of sockets, switches, fittings and wiring
- Testing of circuit integrity and protection devices
- Inspection of fuse boards and RCD operation
- Earth bond verification for key appliances and outlets
- Detailed Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
- Professional advice and remedial recommendations
All inspections are conducted in line with the latest regulations. You’ll receive a full written report highlighting the condition of your electrical system and any issues that may require attention.
Landlord Electrical Safety Certificates (EICRs)
If you rent out property, you’re legally required to provide tenants with a valid EICR. We make compliance simple. Our team conducts inspections quickly and professionally, issuing your certificate promptly and advising on any improvements needed to meet the Regulations.
Electrical safety is not something to take lightly – our certified inspections ensure your property, family and tenants are protected around the clock.

Frequentkly Asked Questions
How often should I have an electrical inspection carried out?
For owner-occupied homes, every 10 years is recommended. Landlord properties must be inspected at least every 5 years by law, or more frequently if advised by your electrician.
What is included in an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report)?
An EICR tests the condition of your electrical installations – including wiring, circuits, and fuse boards – and identifies any faults or risks that need attention. It is a comprehensive check for both safety and compliance.
How long does an electrical inspection take?
It depends on the property size and complexity, but most domestic inspections take between 2 and 4 hours. Larger homes or properties with outbuildings may take longer.
What happens if my electrical system fails the inspection?
If any issues are found, we’ll clearly explain the problem, provide a written report, and offer a quotation to fix the faults. Once repairs are complete, we can re-test and issue a pass certificate.
Is an electrical inspection messy or disruptive?
Not at all. Our engineers work carefully and respectfully within your home. Power may be off briefly during testing, but we plan everything to minimise disruption.
