Electrical Maintenance & Testing in Durham
SK Facilities provides electrical maintenance and testing for commercial premises in Durham and the DH1 postcode district, with a free site survey and a fixed monthly price.
Why Durham sites choose planned electrical maintenance
Commercial property in Durham includes farm and rural business conversions, managed residential blocks and HMOs and community and leisure buildings. Each has different hours, plant and statutory duties, so the scope is set after we have walked the site.
For Durham buildings, testing that needs circuits off is booked for evenings or weekends to avoid disrupting staff.
What electrical maintenance and testing covers
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.
- Lighting repairs and LED upgrades
- Remedial work quoted from coded observations
- Distribution board and RCD checks
- Emergency lighting monthly checks and annual duration tests

FAQs: electrical maintenance and testing in Durham
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.
Can electrical maintenance be combined with other services in Durham?
Yes. Many Durham customers combine it with cleaning, compliance management or reactive repairs under one contract and one monthly report.
