What we cover
Change-of-tenant EICR
Fast-turnaround inspections for landlords and letting agents between tenancies — often booked and certificated within the same week.
Insurance-driven testing
Testing to satisfy an insurer, buyer's surveyor or funder request — priced flat and reported in language non-electricians can act on.
C1 & C2 remedials
Danger-present findings isolated the same day where possible; C2 items scheduled with fixed quotes and coordinated with your tenants.
Distribution board upgrades
Where a report flags an unsuitable DB, we quote replacement RCBO boards, load calculations and phased changeover to avoid downtime.
Portfolio EICR programmes
One point of contact for multi-site landlords and FMs — staggered testing, aligned reporting, one invoice per period.
What an electrical installation condition report actually covers
An EICR — full name electrical installation condition report — is a periodic inspection and test of the fixed wiring in a building, carried out to BS 7671. It is not an appliance check (that is PAT testing) and it is not a visual walk-round.
The inspection covers distribution boards and protective devices, circuit continuity and polarity, insulation resistance, earthing and bonding, RCD operation, and the condition of accessories, containment and cabling. Findings are coded C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended) or FI (further investigation required).
A satisfactory report is what most people mean when they ask for an electrical safety certificate or electrical test certificate — one document you can hand to an insurer, landlord, licensing officer or incoming tenant.
What a commercial EICR costs
Commercial EICR cost is driven by one thing above all: the number of circuits, not the floor area. A small retail unit with a single distribution board sits at the bottom of the range; a multi-board industrial unit with three-phase sub-mains sits at the top.
We quote a fixed price per installation before any testing starts, based on a circuit count you can check yourself on the board schedule. No hourly creep, no day-rate extensions, no surprise second visit charge to finish the sampling.
Remedial works are priced separately and only after the inspection, so you are never asked to approve repair spend blind. Every C1 and C2 item is quoted line by line within 48 hours and you choose what proceeds.
Is a commercial EICR a legal requirement?
There is no single clause that says "get an EICR every five years", but the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical systems to be maintained in a safe condition, and the recognised way to demonstrate that is periodic inspection and testing to BS 7671.
Responsibility sits with the duty holder — normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In a leased commercial building it usually falls to the tenant for their demise and the landlord for the landlord's supply and common areas, but the lease decides it, so check yours.
In practice the pressure comes from insurers, licensing authorities and mortgage or lease conditions rather than a prosecution risk. Typical intervals are five years for offices and shops, three years for industrial premises, and annually for higher-risk environments such as commercial kitchens, swimming pools and construction sites.

Questions we get asked
How much does a commercial EICR cost?+
It is priced on circuit count, not floor area. We give you a fixed price up front based on the board schedule — a single-board retail unit is at the low end, a multi-board three-phase industrial unit at the high end. Remedials are quoted separately after the inspection, never bundled in blind.
Who is responsible for the EICR on a commercial property?+
The duty holder under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 — normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In leased buildings the tenant usually covers their demise and the landlord covers the landlord's supply and common areas, but the lease is what decides it.
How often does a commercial property need an EICR?+
Five years is the common interval for offices and shops, three years for industrial units, and annually for higher-risk premises such as commercial kitchens, pools and construction sites. We set the next-test date on the certificate and remind you before it lapses.
Is an EICR a legal requirement for commercial property?+
There is no clause that names the EICR specifically, but the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require the installation to be maintained in a safe condition — and periodic inspection to BS 7671 is the accepted way to prove it. Insurers and licensing conditions usually make it mandatory in practice.
What is the difference between an EICR and an electrical safety certificate?+
They are the same document in most conversations. "Electrical safety certificate" and "electrical test certificate" are the everyday names for a satisfactory electrical installation condition report.
What's the difference between C1, C2, C3 and FI codes?+
C1 = danger present, requires immediate action. C2 = potentially dangerous, remedial needed. C3 = improvement recommended, not urgent. FI = further investigation required. We explain each finding on your report in plain English.
Do you carry out the remedial works yourselves?+
Yes. Our electricians identify and quote — usually the same team returns to complete. One point of accountability, one certificate trail.
Can testing be done without shutting the business?+
Almost always. We isolate circuit-by-circuit, work around occupied areas, and book major shutdowns for evenings or weekends at no premium on scheduled work.
