Hertfordshire has hundreds of churches, chapels, village halls, and community centres serving local communities. Many of these organisations don't realise they have the same legal obligations under the Electricity at Work Regulations as commercial businesses. As places that host members of the public, they must maintain all electrical appliances in a safe condition.
Common Electrical Equipment in Churches and Village Halls
- PA systems, microphones, and mixing desks
- Projectors, screens, and AV equipment
- Kitchen and catering appliances
- Stage and performance lighting
- Office computers and printers
- Extension leads accumulated over many years
- Musical instruments (organs, keyboards, amplifiers)

When to Schedule Testing
We work around your services, events, and activities programme. Weekend and evening appointments are available. Most churches and village halls prefer testing during quieter weekday mornings when the building is empty.
