What we cover on a commercial electrical contract

Electrical work is the part of a building where paperwork carries as much weight as the repair. An expired EICR can affect your insurance position, a missing emergency lighting record shows up during a fire risk review, and neither problem announces itself until somebody asks for the certificate.

Our engineers handle testing and inspection, fault finding, distribution board work, containment and small power, lighting, emergency lighting, and the remedial works that follow an unsatisfactory report.

Everything is documented as it happens, so your compliance file stays current instead of being rebuilt from scratch every time a landlord, insurer or inspector requests it.

How we handle commercial electrical works

Site walk

We visit, list the assets and agree what needs checking, how often, and at what cost.

Schedule set

The year goes in the diary upfront, with frequencies set per asset rather than per site.

Engineers attend

Your site history arrives with them. Small jobs get done on the visit, not raised as a second booking.

Report issued

Written report after every attendance covering what was done, what was flagged and what needs quoting.

LOSS OF POWER TO A SITE OR CIRCUIT

Tripping breakers, dead circuits and full supply loss stop a building working immediately. Our commercial electrical services in London include emergency fault finding, with engineers testing to isolate the cause rather than resetting the board and hoping. Where a permanent fix needs parts, we restore what can be safely re-energised the same visit.

UNSATISFACTORY EICR CODES

C1 and C2 codes need addressing before the certificate means anything. We carry out fixed wire testing across commercial installations, issue the report with clear coding, then quote remedials line by line so you can see exactly what is required for compliance and what is advisory only.

EMERGENCY LIGHTING AND FIRE SAFETY SYSTEMS

Emergency lighting needs monthly function tests and an annual duration test, both recorded. Missing logs are one of the more common findings in a fire risk assessment. We test, repair and replace luminaires, keep the records current, and extend coverage where escape routes have changed after a refit.

BOARDS, CAPACITY AND AGEING INSTALLATIONS

Buildings gain equipment faster than they gain capacity. Overloaded boards, exhausted spare ways, rewireable fuses and cabling installed for a different use all show up during testing. We upgrade distribution boards, add sub-mains where load has outgrown the supply, and replace cabling that no longer suits the installation.

Trusted across London and the South East

Who we cover in London

Managed offices, retail and hospitality groups, housing associations, hotels, schools, healthcare premises and the facilities management companies procuring on their behalf. Sites where certification gets requested at short notice and needs to already exist.

Most clients hold a Priority Account, which sets rates ahead of the work, fixes response times, and keeps the same engineers across your buildings. Over 25 years operating across London and the South East, more than 12,000 jobs a year, and over 100 commercial clients on the books.

What working with us actually looks like

Testing disrupts a building, so we plan around it. Circuits are isolated in sections, works can run overnight or at weekends, and we tell you upfront which areas lose power and for how long.

Phased testing

Installations tested in sections so the building keeps operating throughout.

Certification at completion

EICRs, minor works certificates and test schedules issued on the day.

Remedials itemised

Every recommendation priced separately, with coding explained plainly.

Out of hours available

Testing and works scheduled overnight or weekends where occupancy prevents access.

One contact across sites

Consolidated reporting and invoicing, whatever the portfolio size.

Why an EICR should not read like a quote

Fixed wire testing has a reputation problem. Reports come back loaded with C2s, the remedial list runs to five figures, and nobody outside the trade can tell which items are genuine compliance failures and which are the contractor building a job.

We code to the regulations and nothing else. Every item on our reports is explained, priced individually, and marked clearly as required or advisory, so you can approve what is necessary now and schedule the rest across your budget. Commercial electrical services in London should leave you with a defensible certificate, not a bill you cannot interrogate.

Frequently asked questions

How often does a commercial EICR need doing?

Most commercial installations are tested every five years, with some environments requiring shorter intervals. Your previous report will state the recommended date. We track renewal dates for clients on scheduled programmes so certification never lapses unnoticed.

What do your commercial electrical services in London cover?

Fixed wire testing and EICRs, fault finding, distribution board upgrades, sub-mains, small power and containment, lighting and emergency lighting, PAT testing and remedial works. We work across offices, retail, hospitality, education, healthcare and residential blocks.

Can testing happen without shutting the building?

Yes. We test in sections, isolating one area at a time, and confirm in advance which circuits go down and for how long. Where downtime is not workable at all, testing runs overnight or at weekends instead.

What happens if the report comes back unsatisfactory?

You get the coded report plus an itemised quote for the remedials. C1 and C2 items are required for compliance, C3 items are advisory. Once the required works are complete, we issue updated certification confirming the installation is satisfactory.

How quickly can you attend an electrical fault?

We aim to be on site within two hours across London, subject to availability, 24 hours a day. Priority Account holders have fixed response times agreed in advance rather than depending on engineer availability on the day.

Do you handle emergency lighting testing?

Yes. We carry out monthly function tests and annual duration tests, maintain the logbook, and repair or replace failed luminaires. Coverage is also reviewed where layouts have changed, since escape routes often move after a refurbishment.

Can you cover a portfolio under one agreement?

Yes. Testing schedules, rates and response times are agreed once and applied across every site. Each property is certified and reported individually, but you deal with one account contact and receive consolidated invoicing rather than site-by-site paperwork.
