Electrical Maintenance & Testing in Reading
Electrical Maintenance & Testing in Reading from SK Facilities: planned visits, clear reports and one number to call, for sites across RG1 and nearby Maidenhead, Newbury.
Why Reading sites choose planned electrical maintenance
Commercial property in Reading includes multi-let office buildings with shared plant, Grade A and refurbished office space and hospital, university and civic buildings. Each has different hours, plant and statutory duties, so the scope is set after we have walked the site.
Many Reading premises have fixed-wire tests overdue after changes of tenant, so we check the last EICR date during the survey.

FAQs: electrical maintenance and testing in Reading
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.
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.
