Commercial Electrical Test

Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)

Essential for proving your electrical installation's safety, our detailed condition reports identify any defects or non-compliance issues in your electrical systems. Regular EICRs are not just best practice – they're often mandatory for insurance validity and legal compliance.

Emergency Lighting Testing

Ensure your emergency lighting performs when lives depend on it. We conduct both monthly functional checks and annual full duration tests, providing the certification needed to demonstrate compliance with BS 5266 and satisfy fire safety requirements.

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)

Keep your workplace equipment safe and compliant with regular PAT testing. We test and certify portable electrical equipment, helping you meet your duty of care obligations and maintain safe working environments.

Periodic Inspection & Testing

Regular testing ensures your electrical installations remain safe and efficient. We test circuits, earthing, bonding, and protective devices to verify everything functions as designed and meets BS7671 standards.

Insurance Requirements

Most commercial insurance policies require valid electrical test certificates. Without current testing documentation, you risk invalidated coverage precisely when you need it most. Our certificates provide the evidence insurers demand.

Legal Obligations

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require you to maintain electrical systems in safe condition. Regular testing demonstrates compliance and protects you from prosecution should incidents occur.

Safety Critical

Electrical faults cause thousands of fires annually. Testing identifies deterioration, damage, and defects before they become dangerous, protecting your staff, customers, and premises.

Business Continuity

Identifying issues through testing prevents unexpected failures that disrupt operations. It's far less costly to address problems found during scheduled testing than to deal with emergency breakdowns.

Step 1

Schedule Agreement

We work with you to schedule testing at times that minimise disruption. Whether during quiet periods, weekends, or outside working hours, we adapt to your operational needs.

Step 1

Step 2

Systematic Testing

Our engineers methodically test every circuit and component using calibrated equipment. We check:

Circuit continuity and resistance
Insulation resistance
Earth fault loop impedance
RCD operation and timing
Protective device operation

Step 2

Step 3

Clear Documentation

Following testing, you receive comprehensive reports including:

Detailed test results and findings
Categorised observations (C1 dangerous, C2 potentially dangerous, C3 improvement recommended)
Photographic evidence of any issues
Compliance certificates for your records

Step 3

Step 4

Remedial Recommendations

If testing reveals issues, we provide clear explanations and quotations for necessary remedial work. We prioritise safety-critical items and help you plan corrections efficiently.

Common Testing Concerns Addressed

Testing duration varies with premises size and installation complexity. We provide accurate time estimates during quotation, typically completing most commercial testing within one day to minimise disruption.

Some testing requires circuits to be temporarily isolated. We plan this carefully, testing section by section where possible, and scheduling power interruptions to cause minimal inconvenience.

Requirements vary by business type:

Most commercial premises: EICR every 5 years
Some high-risk environments: EICR every 3 years
Emergency lighting: Monthly function tests, annual duration tests
Your insurance policy may specify different intervals

We categorise all findings by urgency. Dangerous issues (C1) require immediate action, potentially dangerous items (C2) need urgent attention, whilst improvements (C3) can be planned. We never proceed with repairs without your authorisation and clear quotations.

Testing costs depend on your premises size and electrical installation complexity. We provide fixed-price quotations with no hidden charges. Remember: testing costs far less than the potential consequences of electrical failures.
