Frequently asked questions

We cover London and the surrounding areas — Chiswick, Ealing, Hammersmith, Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, Richmond and many more. If you're not sure whether you're in our patch, send us a quick request and we'll let you know.

Yes. We're a NICEIC-approved contractor, so our work is regularly assessed against the current wiring regulations and we can issue the certificates that landlords and insurers ask for.

Most commercial fire alarm systems should be inspected and serviced at least every six months by a competent person, although some buildings, systems or risk assessments may require more frequent visits. Weekly user tests are usually carried out by the responsible person on site. SES can set up a suitable servicing schedule and keep the logbook and certification up to date.

Yes. SES can set up planned maintenance visits for fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, EICRs, remedial works, thermographic surveys and other compliance items. We help landlords, managing agents, businesses and places of worship keep inspections, servicing and paperwork organised so important dates do not get missed.

A thermographic survey uses a thermal imaging camera to identify overheating electrical components, loose connections, overloaded circuits and other potential faults before they fail. It is non-invasive and is often used for commercial premises, distribution boards and larger electrical installations as part of planned maintenance or insurance-led compliance.

Fill in the request form with a few details about the job. We'll ask anything we need, arrange to take a look where necessary, and give you a clear price and a straight answer on timing.

We test your wiring and give you a clear report on what's safe, what needs attention and what your options are. Anything urgent is flagged plainly, and we'll talk you through any remedial work before we do it — no surprises.

The cost of an EICR depends on the type and size of the property, the number of circuits, access, and whether previous records are available. A small domestic or landlord EICR will usually cost less than a commercial premises, HMO, church or larger managed building. SES can give a clear price once we know the property details.

Yes, SES can inspect, test and maintain AOV systems where appropriate, including checking operation, controls and integration with the fire alarm system. If the system requires specialist manufacturer support or replacement parts, we'll tell you clearly and advise on the next step.

Yes. SES regularly helps landlords, businesses, managing agents and places of worship deal with remedial works after fire risk assessments, EICRs and other inspections. We'll explain what needs doing, what is urgent, and how to get the property back into a safe and compliant condition.
