Langley Electrical Contractors provides professional electrical testing in Buckinghamshire for homeowners, landlords and businesses that need clear answers, safe electrics and reliable paperwork.
If you have flickering lights, warm sockets, nuisance tripping, ageing wiring, concerns about electrical appliances or a property that needs a certificate, our team can inspect, test and report with minimal disruption.
Electrical issues can quickly become stressful. Faults hidden inside a consumer unit, damaged extension leads, overloaded circuits or unsafe electrical equipment can increase the risk of fire, electric shocks and costly downtime. We help you understand the condition of your property’s electrics, what needs attention and what can safely be left alone.
Our electrical testing services are designed to make safety and compliance straightforward. We carry out domestic electrical testing for homeowners and tenants, and commercial electrical testing for businesses, schools and other workplace settings. Every inspection is approached carefully, with clear communication before, during and after the visit.
We assess the fixed electrical installations in a property — wiring, sockets, consumer unit, earthing, bonding and overall system condition. An EICR inspection checks the electrical system against UK safety standards BS 7671, identifying faults, deterioration, poor previous workmanship, overloaded circuits and safety concerns before they become bigger problems. EICR testing should be carried out by registered electricians to ensure compliance.
These can include visual checks, circuit testing, fault finding and safety checks tailored to your property.
Where portable items need attention, we can carry out PAT testing for appliances used by employees, tenants or the public — including everyday appliances, IT equipment and extension leads. Annual PAT Testing is common for many businesses in Buckinghamshire.
Testing is not just a box-ticking exercise. Electrical safety standards in Buckinghamshire follow national regulations enforced by local authorities. For landlords, an inspection can support legal compliance and provide a landlord electrical certificate. For businesses, it helps demonstrate responsibility under the Health and Safety at Work Act and wider compliance requirements. For homeowners, it gives peace of mind when buying, selling, renovating or letting a property.
Clear reporting — we explain findings in plain English, including faults and recommended remedial work.
Practical next steps — in most cases we can arrange repairs, replacements or upgrades after the test.
Flexible support — we work with homeowners, landlords, businesses, schools and other sectors.
Safety first — we focus on reducing the risk of fire, electric shocks and disruption.
Transparent pricing — affordable prices and free quotes, without cutting corners on quality.
It can include an EICR, fault finding, visual checks, circuit testing, socket testing and broader electrical safety checks. We look at the consumer unit, wiring, earthing, bonding and any visible signs of damage or deterioration. We can also discuss PAT testing for portable appliances used around the property.
For rental properties, every five years — landlords should keep suitable evidence of electrical safety for each rented home in line with the law. Timing can also vary by legal requirements, property use and previous results. For other premises it depends on property type, usage, age and previous test results. Homeowners may arrange one when buying, selling or renovating, or if they have concerns about the electrics.
Yes — for businesses, landlords, schools and other sectors. This can cover computers, heaters, kitchen equipment and other portable electrical items. The user should make sure equipment is accessible and switched off before testing where needed. An experienced PAT engineer can typically complete 30–50 tests per hour, depending on site conditions.

We arrange a visit — our electricians confirm what needs to be checked and explain what to expect, including visit length and whether power may need to be switched off temporarily.
We complete the test — we inspect the relevant electrics, wiring, sockets, circuits, appliances and equipment using appropriate test methods.
You receive clear results — we provide a report or certificate highlighting the condition of the installation and any faults or observations, including what this means for safety and compliance.
We help with remedial work — if problems are found, we can quote for repairs, explain the steps needed and help resolve issues identified by the inspection. Hazardous EICR remedial work may need to be completed within 28 days by a certified contractor.
Every property is different. Age of the installation, previous alterations, usage levels and workplace conditions all affect what testing is needed, how often it should be repeated at suitable intervals, and whether equipment has been properly maintained. Commercial and industrial sites may also need testing under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Our role is to give you honest advice, not to sell unnecessary work.
