About This Service
Expert Electrical Testing & Certification from Barry
Electrical safety is a legal requirement for landlords and an important safeguard for every property owner. Polaris Electrical provides comprehensive testing and certification across Barry, Cardiff, Penarth, Sully and the Vale of Glamorgan, with qualified electricians carrying out thorough inspections and issuing detailed, compliant certification for every test.
Beyond formal reports, we also carry out periodic inspections for older installations, properties that have been modified and buildings where safety is especially critical. These check protective devices, connections, earth loop impedance and circuit integrity across the whole system, so developing issues are found before they become serious.
