Fixed Wire Testing in Wolverhampton

Fixed wire testing in Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton and the Black Country have one of the highest concentrations of manufacturing in the country: aerospace at Fordhouses and the i54 business park, metals and engineering across Bilston, Willenhall, Wednesfield and Darlaston, and the newer distribution parks along the M54 and M6. The city centre provides offices and retail at the Mander Centre, and New Cross Hospital and the University of Wolverhampton are large estates. Walsall, Dudley and Sandwell add further industrial and public sector premises. We work extensively across all of these and attend as soon as possible, at a time that suits your operation. For the wider region see our Midlands fixed wire testing page.

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.
