A Commercial Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses the condition and safety of the fixed electrical installation within a commercial property. Our electricians inspect and test relevant electrical systems, identify defects or potential hazards, and provide a detailed report with recommendations.

The appropriate inspection interval depends on the type of premises, the condition of the installation, its use and the level of risk. Five years is a commonly recommended interval for many commercial installations, but some premises require more frequent inspections. We can advise on an appropriate schedule for your property.

Commercial duty holders have legal responsibilities to maintain electrical systems in a safe condition under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. A Commercial EICR is an established way to assess and document electrical installation safety, although the legislation does not prescribe a universal five-year EICR requirement for every commercial property.

The time required depends on the size of the premises, the number of electrical circuits, access arrangements and installation complexity. Smaller commercial properties may take several hours, while larger buildings may require one or more days. We aim to arrange testing around your business operations to minimise disruption.

An unsatisfactory report indicates that defects requiring action have been identified. These may include C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous) or FI (further investigation required) observations. We explain the findings and recommend appropriate remedial works or further investigation to address the issues identified.

Yes. Electricians4London can undertake commercial EICR remedial works, including repairs to defective wiring, distribution boards, protective devices and other electrical installation components. We can provide a quotation based on the inspection findings and arrange the necessary works.
