An NICEIC-approved commercial electricians providing fast, thorough EICR testing across London. 100% circuit testing, full remedial capability, and clear certification — all from one contractor.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a legal requirement for most commercial premises and a fundamental part of responsible property management. For businesses, landlords, and facilities managers, getting it right matters – not just for compliance, but for the safety of everyone in your building.HM Electrical provides commercial EICR testing across London for a wide range of business premises, from offices and retail units to restaurants, hotels, warehouses, and multi-site portfolios. As a NICEIC-approved contractor, every inspection we carry out is fully accredited, comprehensively documented, and backed up by our own in-house remedial capability – so if any faults are found, we can fix them too.We carry out 100% circuit testing as standard. That means every circuit in your premises is individually tested and documented – no sampling, no shortcuts, no gaps in your compliance record.
A Commercial Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal assessment of the fixed electrical installation in a non-domestic building. It is carried out by a qualified electrician and tests the safety, condition, and compliance of all electrical circuits, wiring, protective devices, earthing, and bonding.
At the end of the inspection, you receive a formal EICR certificate classifying any issues found using a standard coding system:
If no issues are found, your installation is issued a Satisfactory result. If C1 or C2 issues are present, the installation is classed as Unsatisfactory until they are resolved.
Every commercial EICR we carry out includes:
Commercial premises have clear legal obligations around electrical safety under UK law:
The IET Code of Practice recommends commercial premises are inspected every 5 years, or sooner if the premises have undergone significant changes, are older, or are in a higher-risk environment.
The IET Code of Practice recommends commercial properties are inspected every 5 years. High-risk environments such as industrial premises, catering kitchens, or properties with ageing installations may require more frequent inspection. If significant electrical work has been carried out, or the premises have changed use, an earlier inspection is advisable.
Yes – commercial premises are legally required under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to maintain electrical systems in a safe condition. EICR inspection is the accepted industry standard for demonstrating compliance. For commercial landlords, lease terms and insurance policies typically also mandate a current EICR.
This depends on the size of the premises and the number of circuits. A small retail unit or office might be completed in half a day; a large multi-circuit commercial building may require a full day or multiple visits. We’ll give you an accurate estimate of time required when we provide your quote.
