Maintenance, Testing, Inspection and Certification
The contribution electricity provides to our everyday lives in terms of warmth and light is obvious. However, the cabling and fuse boxes that deliver us with these benefits are usually hidden away in walls and cupboards and it is all too easy to forget to check these systems periodically.
Faults can occur in systems for a whole range of reasons – damage from animals, over-enthusiastic DIY or simply wear and tear. An electrical safety survey (electrical installation condition report) gives you an up to date analysis of the condition of the electrical installation of your property and the necessary information for the remedial works required to ensure electrical safety. Regular tests and inspections will enable Scott & Foggon Ltd to locate any faults and suggest remedial measures.
Regular testing can also help letting agents and landlords protect themselves against hefty penalties from the Health & Safety Executive for failing to comply with electrical safety regulations. Often new landlords or Building Managers don’t realise that the safety of the electrical systems and appliances within the rental property are their responsibility.

Emergency Lighting
The loss of mains electricity could be the result of a fire or a power cut and the normal lighting supplies fail. This may lead to sudden darkness and a possible danger to the occupants, either through physical danger or panic.
We can offer a full range of emergency lighting solutions from design to install and of course yearly maintenance, contact us for further information.
The British Standard
We follow strict guidelines set out by British Standard BS 5266: Part 1: 2021 which includes in its scope residential hotels, clubs, hospitals, nursing homes, schools and colleges, licensed premises, offices, museums, shops, multi-story dwellings etc.
Although this standard recommends the types and durations of emergency lighting systems relating to each category of premise it should be remembered that the standards are minimum safe standards for the types of premises and that a higher standard may be needed for a particular installation.

Electrical Surveys
If you’re thinking of buying a property you could gain valuable information about the condition of a property by commissioning Scott & Foggon Ltd to undertake an electrical installation condition report. By inspecting and testing all circuits within a property we can provide you with a detailed report on the condition of the current electrical system and advise you of any areas requiring improvements or upgrading.
