The Institute of Electrical Engineers recommend that your installation is tested every 10 years. Insurance companies may specify a shorter period - if you let your property then due diligence requires that the installation is checked every year!

Older properties often require upgrades to the safety aspects of the installation, particularly earth bonding and circuit breaker operation. Electrical systems age and can become overloaded, particularly in older homes. Over the years as more lighting, appliances and equipment are added, the electrical system becomes overburdened and problems can develop. If fuses blow or circuit breakers protecting ring or spur circuits trip frequently, new circuits or other repairs may be necessary. Depending on the condition of the equipment and the extent of the repairs, the cost may be nominal or could run into several thousand pounds.
