Testing & Compliance Service
Fixed Wire Testing
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) for commercial, industrial and public sector premises — systematic inspection and testing to BS 7671, with prioritised C1/C2/C3 remedial schedules and digital records.
What a fixed wire testing programme actually has to deliver
01
An EICR that doesn't satisfy your insurer or landlord
Insurers, landlords and the Electricity at Work Regulations all require periodic inspection and testing of fixed electrical installations. Our EICR reports are produced to BS 7671 by qualified inspection and test engineers and carry NICEIC certification — a format that satisfies most insurer and landlord requirements.
02
Findings that are uncategorised and impossible to prioritise
An EICR that lists observations without a C1/C2/C3 classification leaves the building owner with no basis to prioritise remedial spend. Our reports categorise every finding, with a written remedial schedule ordered by priority.
03
Testing on a live site without disruption
Circuit testing typically requires brief supply interruptions. We plan all testing with the site manager and phase circuit groups to minimise the impact on occupiers — with clearly communicated outage windows and same-day restoration of every circuit.
04
Multiple sites with inconsistent documentation
Multi-site programmes require consistent methodology, comparable reports and a single documentation format. We apply standardised inspection procedures and submit reports in a uniform format — so the estate manager can compare findings directly across all sites.
