FAQs: electrical maintenance and testing in South Shields
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.
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.

Yes. Many South Shields customers combine it with cleaning, compliance management or reactive repairs under one contract and one monthly report.
