Electrical Inspection and Testing in Dorking,
If you’re seeking an electrical inspection, it could be due to safety concerns, regulatory compliance, or the need to ensure your business’s electrical systems are functioning optimally. At ESI, we conduct inspections in line with the IET Wiring Regulations, the Electricity at Work Act, and the Health and Safety at Work Act, ensuring your compliance with all legal obligations.

We meticulously assess your electrical installations, from wiring systems to appliances, to identify any areas needing attention. By choosing us, you ensure a safe and efficient electrical environment, tailored to meet the specific needs of your industry.
In terms of electrical inspections, you might come across terms like EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report), PIR (Periodic Inspection Report), and electrical certificate. These documents confirm that your electrical systems have been thoroughly inspected and are safe for use, highlighting any necessary improvements or repairs.
Thermal Imaging for Dorking Electrical Systems
Thermal imaging is a valuable tool that complements traditional electrical inspection and testing by providing insights that visual inspections and standard electrical tests may miss. This technology uses infrared cameras to detect heat patterns in electrical systems, identifying hotspots that could indicate potential problems such as overloaded circuits, loose connections, or failing components. By visualising these heat patterns, thermal imaging allows for a more comprehensive assessment of your electrical infrastructure, ensuring any hidden issues are detected early.
Moreover, thermal imaging is instrumental in predictive maintenance for businesses near Dorking. By regularly monitoring the thermal profiles of electrical equipment, potential failures can be anticipated and addressed before they lead to costly downtime or damage. This proactive approach not only enhances the safety and reliability of electrical systems but also extends their lifespan. Utilising thermal imaging as part of a routine maintenance plan helps maintain optimal performance and prevents unexpected disruptions, ultimately safeguarding both the equipment and the business operations that depend on it.
PAT Testing of Electrical Appliances
For businesses in Dorking, maintaining the safety of electrical appliances is a legal obligation under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Our PAT Testing service is comprehensive and dependable, covering all electrical appliances in the workplace. This includes everything from stationary equipment and machinery to office devices and handheld tools, not just portable items. Ensuring that all these devices are safe for use is crucial for maintaining a secure working environment.
Regular PAT Testing is essential, adhering to the standards set by the IET Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing, 5th Edition. This thorough process helps identify potential hazards, ensuring compliance and reducing the risk of electrical accidents. By prioritising regular testing, you protect both your employees and customers, fostering a safe and compliant workplace.
Emergency Lighting Surveys
Reliable emergency lighting is crucial for the safe evacuation of any business premises. It plays a vital role in guiding occupants to safety during emergencies, ensuring a secure environment.
Our emergency lighting surveys and risk assessments meticulously verify that your systems are correctly installed and fully operational, meeting important safety standards like BS 5266. We provide detailed assessments, giving you confidence that your emergency lighting will function effectively when needed.

About Dorking
Dorking is a market town in Surrey in South East England, about 21 mi (34 km) south of London. It is in Mole Valley District and the council headquarters are to the east of the centre. The High Street runs roughly east–west, parallel to the Pipp Brook and along the northern face of an outcrop of Lower Greensand. The town is surrounded on three sides by the Surrey Hills National Landscape and is close to Box Hill and Leith Hill.
The earliest archaeological evidence of human activity is from the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods, and there are several Bronze Age bowl barrows in the local area. The town may have been the site of a staging post on Stane Street during Roman times, however the name ‘Dorking’ suggests an Anglo-Saxon origin for the modern settlement. A market is thought to have been held at least weekly since early medieval times and was highly regarded for the poultry traded there. The Dorking breed of domestic chicken is named after the town.
The local economy thrived during Tudor times, but declined in the 17th century due to poor infrastructure and competition from neighbouring towns. During the early modern period many inhabitants were nonconformists, including the author, Daniel Defoe, who lived in Dorking as a child. Six of the Mayflower Pilgrims, including William Mullins and his daughter Priscilla, lived in the town before setting sail for the New World.
Dorking started to expand during the 18th and 19th centuries as transport links improved and farmland to the south of the centre was released for housebuilding. The new turnpike, and later the railways, facilitated the sale of lime produced in the town, but also attracted wealthier residents, who had had no previous connection to the area. Residential expansion continued in the first half of the 20th century, as the Deepdene and Denbies estates began to be broken up. Further development is now constrained by the Metropolitan Green Belt, which encircles the town.
