Why Your Business Needs Commercial Electrical Testing

Neglecting regular electrical testing can lead to serious safety risks and legal consequences for your business.

Common Problems This Service Solves

  • Undetected Faults: Faulty wiring, worn-out insulation, and loose connections can all go unnoticed for years, posing a significant risk of fire or electric shock. Our testing uncovers these hidden dangers.
  • Overloaded Circuits: As businesses grow and add new equipment, circuits can become overloaded. Our inspection identifies these issues before they cause power failures or fire hazards.

Outdated Electrical Infrastructure: Many older commercial buildings have electrical systems that are not equipped to handle the demands of modern technology. Our testing helps you identify and address these deficiencies.

The Importance of Regulatory Compliance

  • Legal Obligation: The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 place a legal duty on employers to ensure the safety of their electrical systems. Regular EICRs are the primary way to demonstrate compliance.
  • Insurance Requirements: Most commercial insurance policies require regular electrical testing. Without a valid EICR, your policy may be void in the event of an electrical incident, leaving your business exposed.

Protecting Your People and Assets: The most important reason for testing is to protect your employees, customers, and business assets from the dangers of faulty electricity. A safe workplace is a productive and responsible one.

Our Commercial Electrical Testing Process

Our process is designed to be as straightforward and non-disruptive as possible.

Initial Consultation and Quote

We’ll discuss the size of your premises and the scope of the electrical systems to provide a detailed, no-obligation quote. Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden costs.

Scheduling the Inspection

We work with you to schedule the testing at a time that causes the least disruption to your business, even if this means working outside of normal operating hours.

On-Site Testing

Our qualified electricians will perform a series of visual inspections and electrical tests. This requires us to temporarily power down certain circuits, but we will coordinate this with you to ensure minimal impact on your operations.

Detailed Report (EICR)

Upon completion, we will provide you with a full EICR, which includes a clear list of any observations or faults found, along with a classification of their urgency.

Remedial Work and Certification

If any issues are found, we’ll provide a separate, no-obligation quote for the required remedial work. Once the work is completed and retested, we will issue a new EICR certifying the installation as safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should commercial electrical testing be performed?

For most commercial properties, it is legally recommended to have an EICR performed every five years. However, high-risk environments or properties with a high turnover of tenants may require more frequent testing.

What are the legal requirements for commercial electrical testing?

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require that all electrical systems are maintained in a safe condition. An EICR is the most effective way to demonstrate that this duty has been fulfilled.

How long does the service take?

The duration of the test depends entirely on the size and complexity of your premises. We will provide a clear estimate of the time required during our initial consultation.

What happens if issues are found during the testing?

If we identify any issues, we will clearly explain them in the EICR. We will then provide a no-obligation quote for any necessary remedial work and will not proceed with any repairs without your explicit approval.

Do you provide the required certificates/documentation?

Yes, we provide a full, official Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) upon completion of the testing. This is the legal document you need to prove compliance.

What's included in your pricing for commercial electrical testing?

Our pricing is based on the size of your property and the number of circuits to be tested. Our quote is fully transparent and includes the inspection, testing, and the provision of the official EICR certificate.
