Electrical Rewires in Melksham
KM Jones Electrical Ltd is a local electrician dedicated to providing services to residents and businesses in the Melksham area. Our qualified team ensures that all services comply with the latest UK electrical legislation and regulations. In this article, we’ll explore how these laws inform and guide four of our key services: electrical testing, fire alarm installation, electrical rewires, and emergency lighting.
Electrical Testing
Electrical testing is a crucial aspect of maintaining safety and compliance in any property. UK legislation mandates regular testing of electrical installations to ensure they are safe and meet the standards set by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) in the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).
Our electrical testing process includes periodic inspection reports (EICRs), which are legally required for rented properties under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. This ensures landlords in Melksham can provide tenants with safe and compliant living environments. Additionally, our testing services are critical for businesses, helping them comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, which require all employers to maintain safe electrical systems in the workplace.
Fire Alarm Installation
The installation of fire alarms is not only a legal requirement for many buildings but also a vital measure to protect lives and property. The UK’s Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets out the obligations for fire safety, requiring appropriate fire detection and warning systems in most non-domestic premises. As your trusted electrician, we specialise in fire alarm installation, ensuring that systems in Melksham properties are installed correctly and comply with British Standard BS 5839.
Our fire alarm installation services are tailored to the specific needs of each building, ensuring optimal coverage and functionality. We also offer regular maintenance and testing of fire alarms, which is crucial for compliance with the Fire Safety Order.
Electrical Rewires
Electrical rewires are essential for ensuring that older properties meet current safety standards. The 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) provide the guidelines for modern electrical installations, and properties with outdated wiring often require a full rewire to comply. A KM Jones electrician can complete electrical rewires in Melksham, upgrading systems to meet these stringent requirements.
Our electrical rewires service includes replacing outdated wiring, installing new circuit boards, and ensuring that all sockets, switches, and fixtures are safe and compliant. This is especially important for older Melksham buildings, where outdated wiring can pose significant safety risks.
Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting is a critical safety feature in any commercial or public building, providing illumination in the event of a power failure. UK regulations, specifically the Fire Safety Order and BS 5266-1, require the installation of emergency lighting to ensure safe evacuation routes during an emergency. KM Jones Electrical Ltd provides comprehensive emergency lighting services in Melksham, from installation to on-going maintenance.
Our emergency lighting services ensure that all installations meet the required standards for brightness, duration, and reliability. Regular testing and maintenance are also part of our service, ensuring that the emergency lighting systems in Melksham properties remain fully functional and compliant with UK legislation.
