Commercial EICR Reports
Commercial premises need electrical inspections that stand up to scrutiny. We test the installation, record defects clearly and issue a report the landlord, agent or facilities team can act on, helping you address risks before they disrupt occupants or compliance.
What your commercial EICR includes
An inspection covers fixed wiring, distribution boards, accessories and permanently connected equipment across the premises. We assess their condition and note defects or deterioration that may need attention.
For landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, documentation supports maintenance planning and contractor discussions. We explain the findings plainly, so the responsible person can prioritise work and keep an electrical record.
A clear inspection record
You receive a written EICR covering the fixed wiring, distribution boards, accessories and permanently connected equipment we inspected.
Defects explained plainly
If we find deterioration or unsafe conditions, the report records each issue clearly so you can decide what needs attention first.
For landlords and agents
Your letting or property file gets the electrical documentation needed to support maintenance planning and discussions with contractors.
Risks identified early
Hidden faults, damaged accessories and ageing wiring can affect occupants and property operations. We identify them before they become a larger problem.
Useful for budgeting
When remedial work is needed, the findings give you a practical basis for planning repairs and managing expenditure across the premises.
Qualified electrical engineers
Your inspection is carried out by our NICEIC and ECA-recognised electrical team, with the findings explained before we leave.
Plan Ahead
A planned tenancy change or property transaction can leave little time to correct defects, so arrange inspection before deadlines tighten.
A Clear Electrical Record for Every Premises
Commercial premises can contain mixed uses, alterations and older wiring. Our NICEIC-registered electricians inspect the installation methodically, distinguish immediate risks from routine defects and leave the responsible person with clear evidence for compliance decisions.
Questions About Commercial EICR Reports
What should we prepare before a commercial EICR inspection?
Before we arrive, identify access arrangements, room contacts and any restricted areas. Keep previous certificates available if possible; we’ll confirm findings and required follow-up after inspection with the responsible person.
What affects the cost of a commercial EICR?
The price depends on premises size, installation complexity, access and the number of distribution boards. We confirm the scope first, then issue a written quotation before work starts, covering costs.
What happens during a commercial EICR inspection?
During the visit, we trace circuits where needed, carry out visual and electrical tests, and discuss access limitations before recording observations against the installation’s condition in the completed inspection report.
How are commercial EICR findings reported?
The completed report lists observations with their classifications, test results and recommended actions. We explain which items need attention first, helping landlords and facilities teams plan any necessary remedial work.
How often should commercial premises have an EICR?
Frequency depends on the premises, installation and how it is used. We’ll recommend an interval based on risk, previous results, insurer or lease requirements, and relevant guidance for that site.
From Inspection to Next Steps
We agree access arrangements around tenants, staff and trading areas, then work methodically without moving beyond the agreed inspection. If we uncover an unsafe condition, we explain the risk before recommending any remedial work.
You receive the findings and next steps without pressure to proceed immediately. If repairs are needed, we provide a written quotation before work starts, so the responsible person can approve the cost and plan access.
What the inspection covers
Commercial EICR testing covers the fixed electrical installation within the agreed premises and accessible areas. We inspect the wiring, distribution boards, accessories and permanently connected equipment, then carry out the relevant tests.
A methodical inspection of the fixed installation
The inspection follows the installation from the intake position through distribution boards, final circuits and connected equipment. We look for damage, unsuitable alterations, overheating, poor connections, inadequate protection and deterioration. We record any areas that could not be inspected because they were concealed, inaccessible or outside the agreed scope, so the report shows its proper limits.
How we handle access and disruption
Your premises may include occupied offices, rented units, communal areas or trading spaces. We agree access arrangements in advance and keep the inspection within the areas and equipment included in the quotation.
Working around occupants and business activity
We coordinate with the responsible person before starting, including access to distribution boards, plant rooms, stores and other restricted areas. Some tests may require circuits to be isolated, so we explain the practical effect before carrying them out. If an area cannot be safely accessed, we record that limitation rather than making an assumption about the installation.
What happens if we find defects
An EICR can identify anything from a damaged accessory to a serious risk requiring prompt attention. We explain the finding in plain language and separate urgent concerns from defects that can be planned into future maintenance.
Clear classifications and practical advice
Our NICEIC-registered electricians record observations using the appropriate EICR classification, including C1, C2, C3 or further investigation where applicable. We explain what each finding means for the premises and what needs checking next. If we find an unsafe condition during the visit, we raise it with the responsible person before recommending any remedial work.
What you receive after testing
The completed report gives the landlord, agent or facilities team a written record of the inspection, test results, limitations and recorded defects. It can then support decisions about repairs, access and future maintenance.
A report you can act on
We issue the EICR with the information needed to review the installation and plan the next step. If remedial work is appropriate, we explain which items relate to the reported findings and provide a written quotation before work starts. You can then approve the work separately, arrange access and keep the inspection record with the property’s electrical documentation.
To arrange a commercial EICR, tell us about the premises, its use and any access restrictions. We’ll confirm the inspection scope and what information we need before the visit.
If remedial work is authorised afterwards, we can plan it around tenants, staff and trading areas, then confirm which items have been addressed.
