Electrical Testing & Inspection in Bristol

Bristol is a diverse city with an extraordinarily wide range of housing stock - Victorian terraces in Bedminster and Bishopston, Georgian crescents in Clifton, post-war estates in Hartcliffe and Southmead, and modern apartment developments along the Harbourside. Testing a period property's installation reveals what years of incremental wiring changes have left behind - and where the priority remediation lies. Kevol Electrical serves Bristol from its Bristol base, covering the full range of domestic and commercial electrical work.

Working in period properties demands care - original plasterwork, cornicing, and tiled floors are worth preserving, and Kevol Electrical treats them accordingly.

Testing forms a critical part of the electrical installation process. Every new installation Kevol Electrical carries out is fully tested before being handed over - confirming that continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, and earth fault loop impedance are all within the limits specified by BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations).

For existing installations, testing is the mechanism used to identify faults that are not visible to the eye - deteriorating insulation, high-resistance connections, inadequate earthing, or circuits that are no longer performing within safe parameters. An EICR uses this same test methodology across the entire installation.

Testing is also required at the completion of building works that have involved electrical installation - for example, after a loft conversion, extension, or kitchen renovation where new circuits have been added. Kevol Electrical can provide the necessary test certificates for building control or planning sign-off purposes.
