Every commercial installation is different. We price based on the number of circuits and distribution boards — so you only pay for what we actually test.
Priced by circuit count
Not by guesswork. We review your boards and give you a fixed price before we visit.
Legally valid EICR certificate
Accepted by insurers, local authorities and compliance bodies.
Flexible scheduling
Early morning, evening or weekend appointments to minimise disruption to your business.
Certificate same day or next working day
Issued promptly so your compliance records are up to date without delay.
Why it's not one-size-fits-all
A domestic property has a single consumer unit with a fixed number of circuits. A commercial premises is an entirely different proposition: there may be multiple distribution boards, sub-boards, three-phase supplies, hundreds of individual circuits, and specialist equipment connections. No two commercial installations are the same.
Pricing a commercial EICR by guesswork or by room count leads to overcharging on simple premises and serious undercutting on complex ones — neither outcome benefits the client. That's why we base our quotation on the actual number of circuits and distribution boards to be tested. Send us photos of your boards and we'll give you a fixed price before we set foot on site.
Legally, commercial properties must comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). Employers and building owners have a duty to ensure electrical installations are safe. Regular inspection and testing — and keeping records of the results — is a core part of meeting that duty.
All testing is conducted by a NAPIT-registered electrician. Every certificate we issue is legally valid and accepted by insurers, local authorities and commercial compliance bodies.
Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
Requires that all electrical systems are maintained so far as reasonably practicable to prevent danger.
IET Wiring Regulations BS 7671
The technical standard to which all UK electrical installations must be designed, installed and tested.
Health & Safety at Work Act 1974
Imposes a duty on employers to maintain a safe working environment, including safe electrical installations.

Comprehensive Testing
Every circuit, board and protective device is tested to BS 7671. Nothing is skipped.
Distribution boards & sub-boards
Full strip-down and in-depth inspection of every board on the premises.
Individual circuit testing
Insulation resistance, continuity, polarity and earth loop impedance on every circuit.
RCD & RCCB testing
Verified to regulatory trip times — confirming all residual current protection is operating correctly.
Emergency lighting circuits
Tested to BS 5266 — confirming emergency lighting functions as required in all relevant areas.
Industrial sockets & fixed equipment
Industrial socket outlets and hard-wired fixed equipment connections inspected and tested.
Full BS 7671 compliance check
Coded defect reporting: C1 (danger), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended), FI (further investigation).
Simple Process
We make getting an accurate, fixed price as straightforward as possible. Three steps is all it takes.
Take photos of every distribution board and fuseboard in the premises with the door open. Make sure any circuit label schedules are visible in the photo. Include any sub-boards too.
What to photograph:
We'll go through your photos, identify the number of test points, assess board complexity, and estimate the time required. You'll receive a fixed price quotation — no surprises on the day. If the photos aren't clear enough for an accurate count, we'll simply ask for more detail before quoting.
Once you're happy with the quotation, we'll agree a date and time. We can work around shift patterns or schedule out-of-hours visits to minimise disruption to your business. On completion, your full written EICR certificate is issued — ready for your compliance records.

Common Questions
Recommendations vary by premises type. The IET Wiring Regulations suggest: offices — every 5 years; shops — every 5 years; industrial — every 3 years; public houses and restaurants — every 5 years; schools — every 5 years. Your insurer or local authority may also specify intervals. We'll advise based on your specific premises when you get in touch.
Yes. We understand that switching off power during trading hours isn't always practical. We're happy to discuss early morning, evening or weekend appointments to work around your business. Get in touch and we'll find a time that suits you.
Ideally, photos of every distribution board in the premises with the door open and any circuit labels visible, plus the floor area and type of premises. This allows us to count circuits accurately and give you a fixed price with no surprises. If you're not sure what to photograph, just get in touch and we'll guide you.
Yes. If the EICR identifies defects, we can quote separately for any remedial works and carry them out once you're happy with the quotation. All remedial work is certified on completion and documented alongside the original EICR.
