Socket Testing

We provide thorough socket testing services across Fife to ensure your electrical outlets are safe, reliable, and fully compliant with current UK regulations. From commercial premises and rental properties to private homes, regular socket testing helps reduce electrical risks and protects tenants, staff, and occupants from potential hazards.

What is Socket Testing?

• Socket testing is a key part of electrical safety, helping to identify faults or potential issues within power outlets that could lead to electric shock, fire risk, or equipment damage. Our qualified technicians carry out detailed testing on each socket within your property to confirm it is operating correctly and meets current safety standards.

​

Why Do You Need Socket Testing?

• Electrical sockets are used daily and can deteriorate over time without obvious signs of damage. Faulty or poorly wired sockets present a serious safety risk and are a common cause of electrical fires and accidents. Regular socket testing helps maintain a safe environment for tenants, employees, customers, and family members.

• Our socket testing service checks for:

  • Loose or damaged wiring that may cause sparks or short circuits

  • Wear and tear from frequent use could lead to electrical faults

  • Incorrect or unsafe wiring that compromises electrical safety

  • Overloaded circuits that increase the risk of overheating and fire

  • Poor or missing earthing can result in electric shocks
