Electrical Testing & Inspection in Bristol
Electrical testing establishes the condition and safety of an electrical installation through a structured programme of dead and live testing. Kevol Electrical carries out testing on domestic and commercial properties across Bristol - whether as a standalone inspection, part of a new installation sign-off, or in support of a building project.
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.
Examples of our work
What's involved
- Dead testing: continuity of protective conductors, ring circuit continuity, insulation resistance
- Live testing: polarity, earth fault loop impedance, RCD operation
- Assessment of any anomalies and advice on remediation
- Issue of appropriate test certificates on completion

There is no legal requirement for a vendor to supply an EICR, but buyers and their solicitors increasingly request one. An up-to-date EICR can smooth the conveyancing process. Contact us for a free quote.
