What we cover
Elms & Cardington industrial
Workshop, storage and light-manufacturing units — three-phase supplies, machine isolators and small-power all in scope on one visit.
Embankment offices
Victorian conversions and modern office suites tested with respect for the fabric — no unnecessary drilling, no surface scars.
MK40 retail
High Street and Harpur Centre unit testing outside trading hours — early Sundays and weekday evenings the norm.
Housing association void EICRs
Fast-turnaround testing for social housing landlords between tenancies — certificated the same week where the diary allows.
Portfolio management
Multi-site Bedford landlords on a rolling 5-year plan — staggered testing, one point of contact.
What the report tests, in plain terms
An EICR — electrical installation condition report — is a periodic inspection and test of fixed wiring to BS 7671: distribution boards, protective devices, insulation resistance, continuity and polarity, earthing and bonding, RCD operation, containment and accessories.
Findings get coded C1 for present danger, C2 for potential danger, C3 for recommended improvement and FI where something needs further investigation. A satisfactory report is what people mean by an electrical safety certificate.
Bedford EICR cost and what drives it
Circuit count sets the price, not floor area. A Kempston workshop with three-phase machinery boards takes longer than a town-centre office of the same footprint, and the quote is built from the board schedule rather than a guess.
Prices are fixed before testing and include travel across MK40 to MK44. Remedial works are quoted line by line within 48 hours, so a landlord or managing agent can see exactly what is safety-critical and what is discretionary.
Leases, insurers and inspection intervals
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 put the duty on whoever controls the premises. In Bedford's converted and multi-let buildings the practical answer is usually tenant for the demise, landlord for the incoming supply and common parts — with the lease as the arbiter.
Insurers and licensing conditions are what usually force the date. Offices and shops commonly run five years, industrial three, and higher-risk premises annually. We set the next-test date on the certificate and remind you.

Questions we get asked
What drives the cost of a Bedford commercial EICR?+
Circuit count, not floor area. A Kempston workshop with machinery boards takes longer than a town-centre office of the same size. Fixed price before testing, MK40–MK44 travel included.
Who holds responsibility in a multi-let Bedford building?+
Normally the tenant for their demise and the landlord for the incoming supply and common parts — but the lease decides it. The duty itself sits with whoever controls the premises under the 1989 Regulations.
Is an EICR a legal requirement?+
Not by name, but the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require a safe installation, and periodic inspection to BS 7671 is how that is demonstrated. Insurers and licensing conditions usually force the date.
Do you charge for travel to Bedford?+
No — Bedford is on our daily run. Flat-rate pricing for MK postcodes with no travel line on the invoice.
Can you test a listed office building on the Embankment?+
Yes — we route new tests through existing containment, use surface-mount where consent doesn't allow chasing, and document deviations on the certificate.
How fast can you turn around a void EICR for a housing association?+
Where the diary allows, next-day booking and same-week certification. Call the office with the void date and we'll be honest about slots.
What insurance do you carry?+
£10m public liability, £10m employer's liability, professional indemnity. Certificates emailed on request.
Can we get one certificate covering all our Bedford sites?+
You get one certificate per demise (that's a BS 7671 requirement), but they're delivered as a single pack with an index and a portfolio remedial summary.
