Electrical Maintenance & Testing for commercial buildings
EICR, PAT testing, emergency lighting and electrical repairs for commercial buildings.
What is electrical maintenance and testing?
Electrical maintenance covers the periodic inspection and testing of a building's fixed wiring, portable appliances and emergency lighting, plus the repairs those tests identify. The aim is a safe installation and a clear paper trail showing it has been checked.
What does our electrical maintenance and testing service include?
- EICR fixed-wire testing to BS 7671

What are the legal requirements?
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical systems to be maintained so far as reasonably practicable to prevent danger. Guidance suggests commercial premises have fixed-wire testing at least every five years, and more often for some uses.

Frequently asked questions
How often does an office need an EICR?
Guidance suggests at least every five years for offices and shops, with shorter intervals for higher-risk premises. The inspector sets the next date on the report.
What happens if the EICR finds faults?
Faults are coded C1, C2 or FI (further investigation). We quote the remedial work so the installation can be brought back to a satisfactory condition.
Can testing be done out of hours?
Yes. Fixed-wire testing needs circuits switched off, so we often test in the evening or at weekends to avoid disruption.
