Periodic inspection reports for factories, workshops, warehouses and commercial premises. Circuits tested to BS 7671, findings graded C1/C2/C3/FI in plain English, and the report formatted to satisfy your insurer, landlord or HSE audit at first submission.
Periodic inspection and testing (EICR) for industrial and commercial electrical installations — condition assessment, circuit-by-circuit testing, and a formal report with each observation coded C1/C2/C3/FI.
Factory and workshop owners, commercial landlords, facilities managers, insurers and property agents across Crewe, Winsford, Middlewich, Sandbach and wider Cheshire.
At intervals set by BS 7671 — typically every 5 years for commercial and 3 years for industrial installations — or on change of tenancy, insurance renewal, or after significant alterations.
Insurers, landlords and enforcement bodies expect a current satisfactory EICR. An expired or unsatisfactory report can invalidate cover and — for HSE-regulated activities — expose the responsible person to liability.
The reason to book proper work now — instead of putting it off — comes down to what happens when you don't.
Most commercial policies now require a satisfactory EICR within specified intervals. A lapsed report is a claim risk you haven't priced in.
A one-page tick-box EICR gets rejected by careful insurers and mortgage lenders. Ours are formatted to the schedules BS 7671 Section 653 actually specifies.
"Potentially dangerous" without an explanation is useless when you're deciding what to fix first. Every observation on our reports includes a plain-English note explaining what it means and what remedy is proportionate.
We agree the extent of testing (limitations recorded formally), the isolation windows you can accommodate, and any circuits that must remain live for production or safety.
Visual condition survey followed by insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance, polarity, continuity and RCD testing on the agreed sample. Live sampling where full isolation isn't practical.
Every observation graded C1 (danger), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended) or FI (further investigation) — with a plain-English note explaining the practical implication.
Full BS 7671 report including circuit schedules, test results and observations, emailed the working day after inspection.
Where the report is unsatisfactory or improvements are recommended, you get a separately-priced, fixed-quote remedial schedule at the same time — no waiting weeks for a follow-up.
Formatted to the schedules BS 7671 Section 653 sets out, with circuit-by-circuit test results and clearly-coded observations. Accepted at first submission by mainstream commercial insurers.
Weekend and out-of-hours slots available for sites where daytime isolation isn't practical.
If you want us to carry out the remedials, we can — but the report is written independently of the quote, so nothing is over-called to generate work.
PDF report, PDF certificate, and single-line diagrams where required — retained for 7 years and re-issuable on request.

Commercial and industrial periodic inspection is where a lot of contractors cut corners. A proper report takes time — full circuit schedules, test results recorded against each circuit, and observations graded to BS 7671 Appendix 6 rather than a home-rolled scoring system. Twenty years of doing this work across Cheshire commercial premises means we know what mainstream insurers, mortgage lenders and Cheshire East enforcement officers expect to see on the front page of the report.
Insulation resistance on every circuit within the agreed extent, earth fault loop impedance at each distribution board and at the furthest point of representative circuits, RCD trip times at 1x, 5x and half rated current, continuity of protective conductors and polarity. Live sampling where full isolation isn't achievable, with the limitations recorded formally on the report.
C1 — danger present, immediate action required. C2 — potentially dangerous, urgent remedial action required. C3 — improvement recommended. FI — further investigation required. Every code carries a plain-English explanation so you can make an informed decision about scope and priority.
Any circuit that couldn't be isolated, any equipment that couldn't be accessed, any test that couldn't be completed — all recorded formally in Section D of the report. That's what makes the report defensible if it's ever challenged, not what makes it look bad.
Where the overall report code is Unsatisfactory, you get a separately-priced, fixed-quote remedial schedule attached to the report. You decide whether we carry out the works. The report is written to the same standard whether we do the remedials or not.
Anything else? Give us a call — we'll talk it through in plain English.
07886 780653Guidance under BS 7671 and IET GN3 typically points to every 5 years for commercial and 3 years for industrial premises, or on change of tenancy. Your insurer may specify shorter intervals — we work to whichever is more onerous.
Partial testing with live sampling is possible where full isolation isn't practical — the limitations are recorded formally on the report. For a fully valid report on the whole installation, at least one isolation window is required, and we can quote for out-of-hours to keep that window off production time.
You receive a fixed-price remedial schedule attached to the report so you know exactly what needs doing and what it will cost. You're free to have the remedials done by anyone — we don't tie the report to the works.
Yes — full BS 7671 format including circuit schedules and full test results. Accepted at first submission by mainstream commercial insurers, mortgage lenders and letting agents.
