Our periodic electrical testing will give you assurance that you’re fulfilling your duty of care and you’re legally sound
Periodic electrical testing is an investment in your business, not a cost. Our team of NICEIC-approved commercial electricians will ensure you’re legally compliant with a programme of electrical servicing and testing that gives you the assurance that you’re fulfilling the duty of care you have to your team and visitors on your site.
Landlords and EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report)
You know that as a landlord you have a duty of care to your tenants, and one way to demonstrate due diligence is through a commercial Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, private rented properties must comply with mandatory electrical safety checks at least once every five years. Landlords have a responsibility to hire a qualified electrician to ensure all electrical fixtures are in satisfactory condition.
EICR checks
We’re experienced in five-year electrical testing for landlords in the Leicestershire area and on conducting a thorough check of your property, we’ll issue you with an EICR certificate, which will detail any observed damage, deterioration, defects, dangerous conditions and any non-compliance issues with the present-day safety standard which might give rise to danger.
Your liability for failure to ensure the safety of all equipment can lead to:
- A maximum fine of £5,000 for each item that does not comply
- A maximum of 6 months’ prison sentence
- Potential manslaughter charges if a death is caused
- Your tenant can also sue for civil damages
- You may find your property insurance is invalidated
For peace of mind that you’re fulfilling your duty of care and are legally compliant, the cost of an EICR certificate from a qualified local electrician is well worth the money.
Commercial PAT (Portable Appliance Testing)
Commercial PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) is recommended to make sure your electrical appliances and equipment are safe to use. Most electrical safety defects can be found by visual examination but certain faults can only be found by testing.
With a checklist and some simple training, a relatively brief user check will be a really useful part of any electrical maintenance regime. However, more formal visual inspections and testing by a competent person may also be required at appropriate intervals, depending upon the type of equipment and the environment in which it’s used.
When undertaking combined inspections and testing, you will sometimes need someone with:
- A greater level of knowledge and experience
- The right testing equipment
- The ability and experience to use the equipment properly
- Knowledge to interpret the results and advise accordingly
We can do this for you and as qualified commercial electricians, we can issue you with a PAT certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Electrical testing helps identify potential faults such as worn cables, loose connections or overloaded circuits before they cause serious problems. It ensures your property remains safe, operational and compliant. Regular testing also prevents expensive breakdowns and liability issues.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report should be carried out at least every five years for most commercial buildings. However, properties with heavy use or older infrastructure may require more frequent checks. Industrial settings are recommended to be tested no longer than 3 years apart. We will advise on the right schedule to suit your setup.
Yes. UK regulations require commercial properties to have periodic electrical testing, including EICRs. This helps to demonstrate compliance with health and safety regulations and reduces risk to employees, customers and property. Additionally many insurers require satisfactory EICRs for premises to be covered.
