🏢 What Is an EICR?

A Commercial EICR is a detailed inspection and testing of your building’s electrical installation to confirm it is safe, compliant, and suitable for ongoing business use. It identifies electrical defects, fire risks, overloaded circuits, deterioration, and any breaches of BS 7671 or the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

📅 How often do I need a Commercial EICR?

Commercial properties should have an EICR carried out at intervals recommended under BS 7671 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Most businesses require testing every 3 to 5 years, depending on the type of premises, electrical load, and operational risk. Higher‑risk environments such as workshops, factories, kitchens, and industrial units may need more frequent inspections.

⚠️ What if my EICR fails?

If your EICR receives C2 or FI codes, it is classed as “Unsatisfactory.” We’ll explain the issues clearly, provide a transparent quote for remedial work, and once the faults are corrected, we issue your new “Satisfactory” certificate without delay.

🔍 How can I check if my EICR is authentic?

Every EICR issued by us includes the official NICEIC Approved Contractors logo and our unique registration number. You can verify our registration directly with NICEIC via their website or helpline, confirming that your certificate is genuine and issued by fully qualified, audited engineers.

🔥Why is my gas meter checked during an EICR?

During an EICR, we check the bonding on your gas and water pipes because it’s a legal safety requirement under BS 7671 (Chapter 41 – Protection Against Electric Shock). If bonding is missing or incorrect, the installation cannot pass, as it increases the risk of electric shock and fire.

⏱️ How long does a Commercial EICR take?

A commercial EICR can take anywhere from 1 hour to a full day, depending on the size of the premises, number of distribution boards, and how many circuits need testing. Smaller shops and offices are usually completed quickly, while warehouses, restaurants, and industrial units may take longer.
We keep disruption to a minimum and only turn the power off when necessary.

🧾What do C1, C2, C3 and FI mean on an EICR?

These codes show whether your property meets safety and legal standards:

• C1: Immediate danger — must be made safe now.
• C2: Potential danger — property cannot pass until fixed.
• C3: Safe but improvement recommended — still passes.
• FI: Needs further investigation — cannot pass until checked.

👨‍🔧 Are you qualified?
