Testing & inspection in Plymouth

Electrical inspection and testing for informed decisions

An electrical inspection is specific to the installation and the agreed scope. Tell CMC whether the enquiry concerns a home, rental property, business or workplace, along with the reason for the inspection and any relevant dates or requirements.

Enquiries include Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), periodic inspection, landlord electrical testing, PAT testing, fault finding and remedial work. The appropriate inspection, access arrangements, report and any follow-up are confirmed for the individual job.

If you already have a report, sharing its relevant findings can help explain the requested remedial work. A general website description cannot determine the condition or safety of a particular installation; that requires the appropriate inspection or assessment.

Helpful information

Questions about testing & inspection

Answers are general guidance; the scope and suitability of any work are confirmed for the specific property or site.

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report records the findings of an inspection of an electrical installation within the agreed scope. The inspection requirements and access needed depend on the property.

Can you carry out remedial work after an inspection?

If remedial work is requested, CMC can review the findings and discuss a separate scope and quotation. Any work and price are agreed before that work is carried out.

Can you inspect several rental properties?

Send the number and locations of the properties, any access constraints and requested timescales. CMC can review the schedule and confirm availability.
