Fixed wire testing in Sittingbourne
Sittingbourne is one of the most industrial towns in Kent. Eurolink Business Park on the eastern side of the town is among the largest industrial estates in the south east, with manufacturing, food processing, logistics and vehicle operations spread across several phases. Kent Science Park at Broad Oak houses laboratories and technical businesses with specialist electrical requirements, while Kemsley to the north is dominated by the paper mill and associated energy and recycling operations. We work extensively across all of these sites and attend as soon as possible, at a time that suits your operation. This page covers Sittingbourne and Sheppey specifically; our Kent fixed wire testing page covers the county as a whole.

Sites and sectors we test in Sittingbourne
Our work here leans towards warehouses, factories, workshops and cold stores, where installations are larger, loads are higher and distribution boards are often older. We are used to testing three phase supplies, sub mains to outbuildings, external lighting and yard power, and to working alongside site safety rules on operational estates. We also test offices at Eurolink and the town centre, schools across Swale, retail units on the A249 and the port and marine related premises at Sheerness and Queenborough on the Isle of Sheppey.

About fixed wire testing and EICRs
Fixed wire testing, formally an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), is the periodic inspection and testing of a building's permanent wiring, distribution boards, protective devices, earthing and bonding. It is how duty holders demonstrate that an installation is being maintained safely under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and most insurers, landlords and accreditation schemes expect to see a current report. Observations are coded C1, C2, C3 or FI so that anything dangerous is dealt with first. For a full explanation of what the inspection involves, how often different buildings should be tested and what the codes mean, see our main Fixed Wire Testing service page.
