What we cover
Lynch Wood offices
Discrete testing on occupied office floors, circuit-by-circuit isolation, evening completions for anything that would trip open-plan power.
City centre retail
Sunday and early-morning testing for shops, cafés and hospitality units — tills, chillers and card terminals stay live.
Hampton & Orton parks
Retail-park EICRs coordinated with landlord and estate manager, including shared-supply testing and landlord's-supply certificates.
Portfolio landlord EICRs
Bulk testing for Peterborough landlords with multiple commercial units — one schedule, one report pack, one invoice.
Same-team remedials
C1 items isolated on the day. C2/C3 remedials quoted flat and booked within the week where possible.
What a Peterborough commercial EICR costs
Price follows circuit count, not square footage. A single-board unit on Fengate is quoted very differently from a three-phase distribution setup at Eastern Industry with sub-mains and factory lighting, even where the floor area is similar.
You get a fixed figure before we test, worked out from the board schedule you can read yourself, and it includes travel anywhere in PE1 to PE9. Remedial work is priced line by line after the inspection so nobody signs off repair spend blind.
Electrical installation condition report — what we actually test
An EICR is a full periodic inspection and test of the fixed wiring to BS 7671 — distribution boards, protective devices, insulation resistance, earthing and bonding, RCD operation, containment and accessory condition. It is not an appliance check; that is PAT testing.
Every finding is coded C1, C2, C3 or FI, so the report reads the same for your insurer as it does for a landlord or a licensing officer. A satisfactory result is what most Peterborough clients are asking for when they request an electrical safety certificate.
Who holds the duty in a leased Peterborough unit?
Most of the trading-estate work we do sits under a lease, and the split is usually the same: tenant covers the demise, landlord covers the incoming supply and common areas. The lease is the deciding document, so read it before assuming.
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 the duty holder must keep the installation safe, and periodic inspection to BS 7671 is the accepted evidence. Offices and shops typically run a five-year cycle, industrial units three years, and anything higher-risk annually.

Questions we get asked
What does a commercial EICR cost in Peterborough?+
It is quoted on circuit count from your board schedule, fixed before we test, with no travel charge inside PE1–PE9. A single-board retail unit is at the low end; a multi-board Fengate industrial unit at the top.
Who is responsible for the EICR on a leased Peterborough unit?+
The duty holder under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 — usually the tenant for their demise and the landlord for the incoming supply and common areas. Your lease is the deciding document.
How often does a commercial property need an EICR?+
Five years for most offices and shops, three years for industrial units, annually for higher-risk premises like commercial kitchens. We put the next-test date on the certificate and remind you before it lapses.
How quickly can you get to a Peterborough site?+
Most bookings go in within 3 working days. For urgent insurance or completion deadlines we can often send an engineer next day — call the office and we'll be honest about the diary.
Do you charge extra for Fengate or the outer trading estates?+
No. Anywhere inside PE1–PE9 is a flat quote — the price you're quoted is the price you pay.
Can you handle three-phase supplies on industrial units?+
Yes — a large share of our Peterborough work is three-phase distribution testing on Fengate and Eastern Industry units. Standard scope for our electricians.
Do you test out of hours for city-centre retail?+
Yes — Sunday and pre-opening slots for shops, cafés and hospitality units around Cathedral Square and Queensgate. No weekend premium on planned work.
Can you upload certificates to our compliance system?+
Yes — Elogs, Meridian, Verisae, and PDF direct to your team. We match your naming convention.
