Electrical Testing
Professional Inspection & Compliance Services
If you need reliable electrical testing in Portsmouth, Big Fish Electricians provides professional testing and inspection services for homeowners, landlords, and local businesses. Electrical testing plays a vital role in ensuring that installations remain safe, compliant, and fit for continued use, particularly as systems age or electrical demand increases.
Our electrical testing services are designed to identify potential issues before they become serious hazards. By carrying out thorough inspections and clear reporting, we help property owners understand the condition of their electrics and take informed action where required.
Electrical Testing and Inspection for Peace of Mind
Regular electrical testing and inspection helps confirm that wiring, circuits, and protective devices are operating correctly. Over time, wear and tear, alterations, or increased usage can affect the safety of an electrical system. Testing allows these issues to be identified early, reducing the risk of faults, electric shock, or fire.
As experienced electricians Portsmouth residents rely on, we carry out inspections with minimal disruption and explain findings in straightforward terms. Whether you are checking the condition of your home’s electrics or planning improvements, professional testing provides reassurance that everything is functioning as it should.

Fixed Wire Testing for Homes and Properties
Fixed wire testing focuses on the permanent wiring within a property rather than portable appliances. This type of testing is essential for understanding the overall safety of an electrical installation and is commonly recommended for older properties or homes that have undergone changes over time.
When carrying out fixed wire testing, we assess circuits, connections, and protective devices to ensure they meet current safety standards. Any issues are clearly documented, allowing you to prioritise repairs or upgrades with confidence.
Electrical Compliance Testing
Electrical compliance testing is particularly important for landlords and property owners who need to demonstrate that their electrical installations meet legal and safety requirements. Testing provides documented evidence that electrics have been inspected by a qualified professional and meet expected standards.
As a trusted electrician in Portsmouth, we ensure all testing is carried out in line with current regulations and best practice. Clear reports are provided following the inspection, outlining results and any recommended actions to maintain compliance.
