This site is a point of contact for electrical enquiries across Poole and the surrounding Dorset area, covering work from periodic inspection to full Rewiring. Describe the particular installation, planned changes or symptoms when enquiring.
Electrical safety in domestic premises depends on the condition and quality of the fixed installation. Over time, wiring insulation can deteriorate, protective devices can become less reliable, and an installation can fall short of the standards set by the current edition of BS 7671.
An inspection carried out by a qualified electrician provides a systematic assessment, identifying items that require attention and setting out the work needed to bring the installation up to standard. A qualified electrician carries out the agreed inspection or installation work and explains the applicable tests, electrical certification and notification requirements.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report records the scope, limitations, findings and results of inspection and testing. New circuits and consumer unit replacement normally require an Electrical Installation Certificate.
Notifiable work also follows the appropriate competent-person or building-control route, producing a separate compliance or completion record. These are separate documents serving different purposes, and a qualified electrician will advise on which apply to the work being carried out.
If you have a concern about the condition of your wiring, are planning an extension or renovation that involves electrical work, or need to bring your installation up to current standards, you can submit an enquiry through this site. The request can then be assessed, with scope, availability and charges confirmed before any visit or work is agreed.
