Inspections & Testing
Stay compliant, stay safe.
Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, or business owner, keeping your property safe and compliant starts with regular electrical inspections. At B&K Electrical, we provide a full range of testing services to help you meet legal requirements, identify potential faults early, and protect the people using your space.
With over 50 years' experience and full NICEIC accreditation, we’re trusted by clients across Kent, Sussex and the South East for reliable, thorough electrical testing.

Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)
Keeping your electrics safe is essential whether you own a home, manage rental properties or run a business. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) checks the overall condition of your wiring, consumer units and fixed electrical systems, highlighting any safety risks, deterioration or non-compliance with current standards.
At B&K Electrical, we carry out EICRs for domestic, commercial and industrial properties across Kent, East Sussex and the South East. Following a full inspection, you will receive a clear, easy-to-understand report along with practical advice if any remedial work is needed.
If you are buying or selling a property, planning a major refurbishment, or upgrading your home, an electrical rewire might also be recommended alongside an EICR.
Landlord safety inspections
As a landlord, you have a legal responsibility to ensure that the electrical installation in your rental property is safe at the start of a tenancy and remains in a safe condition throughout. Regular landlord electrical safety inspections are vital not only for meeting regulations but also for protecting your tenants and your investment.
B&K Electrical carry out landlord electrical inspections across Tunbridge Wells, Crowborough, Wadhurst, Mayfield, Hawkhurst and the surrounding Kent & Sussex region. We provide Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) to help you comply with the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
Whether you need a one-off inspection before a new tenancy or are setting up a regular testing schedule for your portfolio, we are here to make the process straightforward, professional and fully compliant. We also provide full commercial electrical services for businesses, offices, warehouses and public buildings across the South East.
