Advice on Insurance Inspection

[DaPudz]

Hello

I wondered if some one could give me some advice please - I run a small car repair garage and my insurance company has requested that I get the electrics inspected. Can you please tell me what would be involved, how long it is likely to take, and how much it is likely to cost.

I have two 3 phase lifts (Ramps), a 3 phase rolling road for MOT, 12 flourescant strip lights, ten sockets in the workshop, 6 sockets in office plus lighting etc.

My landlord told me the electrics were all checked before I moved in but has not been able to tell me who did it or provide me with any paperwork, so I am not sure how long ago or if and when it has been tested.

Thank you in anticipation.

Hi.

You need whats called a Periodic Inspection Report (P.I.R) for short. This entails an electrician visualy inspecting and testing the fixed wiring and accessories at your garage.

Depending on how thorough he is, can take a day or more.

I have had two Electricians look but niether has got back with a quote so can only assume they are not interested. Any idea how much this sort of thing normally costs?

Speak nicely to your landlord his property his responsibility unless you have signed something accepting liability in the lease.
