What is the difference between periodic testing and an EICR?

They are the same thing — a periodic inspection produces an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), a scheduled inspection of a property’s fixed wiring to confirm it is safe and compliant.

Will testing disrupt my business?

We keep disruption to a minimum and can work out of hours or in phases so your business keeps running. Individual circuits are only isolated briefly while we test them.

What is periodic electrical testing?

Periodic testing is a regular inspection and test of a property's fixed electrical installation — the wiring, consumer unit, sockets, and switches. It results in an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) classifying any faults found. It's a legal requirement for rental properties and commercial premises.

How often does a commercial property need testing?

Most commercial premises need an EICR every 5 years. Industrial premises need one every 3 years. High-risk environments (swimming pools, caravan parks) need annual testing. We'll confirm the correct interval for your type of property.

What happens if the report is unsatisfactory?

Any C1 (danger present) items must be addressed immediately. C2 (potentially dangerous) items require prompt remedial work. Landlords must provide evidence to the local authority that remedial work has been completed within 28 days of the report date.
