All commercial electrical systems must meet the UK safety standards to help protect staff, customers, and properties. We provide comprehensive inspections, testing, and certifications for commercial buildings in Bristol. You may need an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), ongoing compliance checks, or some simple certifications for new work. Either way, our partner electricians, certified with ECS Gold Cards, can help keep your business safe, informed, and fully compliant.

Types of Inspections & Certifications

Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)

An in-depth assessment for the electrical system of a landlord's property, a commercial building, an office or warehouse, for insurance compliance, for health & safety audits.

Fire Alarm Testing

Scheduled testing of fire alarms including all detectors, call points, control panels, wiring & backup power.

Landlord Safety Certificates

Designed for all landlords or property managers who need to check that their systems meet the current UK safety standards for their new or existing tenants.

Emergency Light Tests

The team can test  all the emergency lights and ensure they work properly if a power failure occurred. This includes a function test, duration test, and full supply of compliance documentation.

Certification for New Electrical Upgrades

Any new work with electrics needs to be tested and signed off according to BS 7671, the team can do these checks for you.

PAT Testing

This is Portable Appliance Testing, it ensures that equipment is safe to use in workplace, very common for offices, warehouses, pubs, restaurants, or hotels.

The Benefits of Electrical Inspections

Legal Compliance

There are strict rules for commercial properties since the 1989 Electricity at Work Regulations and the more recent BS 7671 Wiring Regulations. A professional inspection will help you stay within the law.

Identify Safety Hazards

An inspection from a qualified electrician can reveal numerous issues such as circuit overload, old or damaged wires, improper connections or old and inadequate components.

Insurance Policy

Most insurance companies require new and updated electrical certifications for claims to be accepted. If you fail to comply, it makes it more likely for a potential claim to get rejected.

Minimise The Downtime

Finding faults before they become serious issues is a great way of preventing outages, closures, or major equipment failures. These all cause lots of downtime which is extremely costly for a business.

Reassure Landlords and Owners

Commercial owners and landlords like to see full documentation and regularly updated report to fully understand the condition of the electrical system. The landlord or owner is not usually responsible for doing these inspections.

Protect Your Business and its Team

With a fully compliant and safe electrical system, you're dramatically reducing the risk of fire hazards, injuries, or equipment failures within the commercial building.
