Our commercial electrical testing team have been trained to provide customers with a high quality, cost effective, easy to manage inspection, testing and maintenance service.
Our work is always carried out to the highest standard and we are regulated by the NICEIC and the ECA, which allows us to certify our own work, and comply with part P building regulations.
T James Electrical provides a complete electrical inspection, commercial testing and maintenance package that can be tailored to individual requirements.
Why have the testing carried out?
1. Safety, safety, safety – protecting your staff from serious injury or death
The safety of your employees should be paramount to any business owner. Regular electrical testing will provide peace of mind that measures have been taken to ensure your workplace is safe – and it’s difficult to put a price on that. Injuries and deaths in the workplace are unfortunately all too common, but you can reduce the risk of electrical shocks, fires and accidents by ensuring your electrics are periodically inspected.
2. Compliance – meeting your electrical safety at work obligations
There are various laws which require business owners to take appropriate measures to prevent accidents, including:
- The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 which states that employers are responsible for the health and safety of their employees in the workplace.
- The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 which require precautions to be taken against the risk of death or personal injury from electricity used as part of work activities.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regularly prosecutes businesses which fail to protect employees from electrical injuries at work. An EICR helpsw you to fulfil your obligations by providing documented proof that your electrics have been thoroughly inspected. This can be crucial in the event of any accidents that are investigated by the HSE.
3. Insurance – making sure your insurance pays out in the event of a claim
Insurance companies are increasingly requesting that electrical testing is carried out and evidenced on a regular basis as part of your policy agreement. Requirements such as this should be detailed in your policy, so it’s important to make sure you have throughly read and understood it.
Whether your insurance will pay out in the event of a claim related to an electrical incident depends on the terms of your policy and whether you have met those terms. This may include being able to prove robust processes for checking your electrics are safe – such as an EICR certificate – and that the incident was therefore unavoidable.

Thermal Imaging
T James Electrical use thermal imaging which uses infra-red energy waves and a special camera to detect excess heat in electrical systems, components and devices. By finding potential issues which are invisible to the naked eye, thermography allows T James to highlight or fix problems before an expensive failure occurs. Scheduled thermal imaging can spot faults long before any damage is done, and as a result maintenance can be pre-planned to fit in with your schedule. Our non-intrusive Thermal imaging testing has saved customers valuable time and money. Thermal imaging can detect:
- Phase Imbalances
- Overloads
- Loose Connections
- Corrosion
- Overheating
