What happens on the day
An electrical condition assessment typically takes between two and four hours for a standard domestic dwelling, extending for larger buildings or commercial facilities with multiple distribution boards.
- Consumer unit and supply checksThe visit begins at the incoming electricity meter, main earthing terminal and consumer unit. Enclosures, circuit breakers, residual current devices and surge protection components are visually examined and checked for thermal damage or improper sizing.
- Dead testing with isolated powerCircuits are isolated in sequence to carry out instrument tests with the mains disconnected. Continuity of protective conductors and insulation resistance across cables are measured to identify degradation in hidden wiring.
- Live testing under energised conditionsPower is restored to conduct live operational checks. These include measuring earth fault loop impedance at the origin and selected socket outlets, verifying polarity, and measuring precise trip times for all installed residual current devices.
- Access to representative pointsInspection requires entry to each room to access switches, light fittings, socket outlets and connected appliances. A representative sample of accessories is unscrewed from back boxes to check conductor condition and termination security.

WhatsAppHow long will the electricity be turned off during the visit?
Power is shut down in stages rather than all at once. Individual circuits are isolated for twenty to thirty minutes at a time while dead tests are carried out, followed by brief interruptions when the main switch is opened for supply verification.
What is excluded from an electrical condition report?
The assessment only applies to the permanent, fixed electrical installation from the meter outwards. It excludes portable plug-in appliances, which fall under PAT testing, as well as specialised low-voltage networks, security alarms and any concealed wiring that cannot be safely accessed.
What happens if an inspection returns an unsatisfactory result?
If any C1, C2 or FI codes are recorded, the paperwork explains the exact safety risk and where it is located. TMB Electrics provides a separate written quotation to rectify the defects, and once completed, issues confirmation showing the installation is safe.
Does a C3 recommendation mean the installation has failed?
No. A C3 observation represents an advisory recommendation for modern practice rather than a present or potential danger. An electrical installation carrying only C3 observations receives a satisfactory overall outcome.
How often should commercial premises be inspected?
Commercial buildings typically require periodic testing every three to five years depending on the nature of the business, the level of public access and environmental factors like dust or moisture. The previous report usually defines the recommended retest date.
