Frequently Asked Questions
How often do care homes need electrical testing?
Care homes require EICR testing at least every 5 years, with many regulators and insurers recommending more frequent inspections. Fire alarm systems need weekly testing, monthly detailed inspections, and annual professional servicing. Emergency lighting requires monthly functional tests and annual full-discharge tests.
Can you work around residents?
Absolutely - we understand that resident welfare comes first. We plan work carefully to minimise disruption, working room by room where possible and scheduling noisy work at appropriate times. We maintain clean, safe working areas and always ensure escape routes remain clear and properly lit.
What documentation do you provide for CQC inspections?
We provide comprehensive documentation including EICR certificates, fire alarm test logs and certificates, emergency lighting test records, PAT testing schedules and certificates, and any remedial work completion reports. All documentation is formatted to support your CQC compliance requirements.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes - we offer tailored maintenance contracts for care homes covering regular EICR testing, fire alarm servicing, emergency lighting testing, and PAT testing. Contracts can include priority emergency response and scheduled preventive maintenance visits to keep your systems compliant and reliable.
