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 Godalming 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 Godalming. 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 Godalming, 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 Godalming
Godalming is a market town and civil parish in southwest Surrey, England, around 30 miles (49 km) southwest of central London. It is in the Borough of Waverley, at the confluence of the Rivers Wey and Ock. The civil parish covers 3.74 sq mi (9.7 km) and includes the settlements of Farncombe, Binscombe and Aaron’s Hill. Much of the area lies on the strata of the Lower Greensand Group and Bargate stone was quarried locally until the Second World War.
The earliest evidence of human activity is from the Paleolithic and land above the Wey floodplain at Charterhouse was first settled in the middle Iron Age. The modern town is believed to have its origins in the 6th or early 7th centuries and its name is thought to derive from that of a Saxon landowner. Kersey, a woollen cloth, dyed blue, was produced at Godalming for much of the Middle Ages, but the industry declined in the early modern period. In the 17th century, the town began to specialise in the production of knitted textiles and in the manufacture of hosiery in particular.
Throughout its history, Godalming has benefitted from its location on the main route from London to Portsmouth Dockyard. Local transport links were improved from the early 18th century with the opening of the turnpike road through the town in 1749 and the construction of the Godalming Navigation in 1764. Expansion of the settlement began in the mid-19th century, stimulated by the opening of the first railway station in 1849 and the relocation of Charterhouse School from London in 1872. The town has a claim to be the first place in the world to have a combined public and private electricity supply.
Several buildings in the town centre date from the 16th and 17th centuries. The distinctive Pepperpot was built in 1814 to replace the medieval market house and to house the council chamber. Among the notable former residents of the civil parish were Jack Phillips, the senior wireless operator on the RMS Titanic, and the mountaineer George Mallory. James Oglethorpe, the founder of the Colony of Georgia, was born in Godalming in 1696 and the town maintains a friendship with the U.S. state and the cities of Savannah and Augusta in particular.
