Commercial EICR Testing Without Unnecessary Business Disruption
Electrical installations in commercial buildings can be considerably more complex than those in domestic properties. Larger distribution systems, extensive circuits, specialist equipment and heavily used installations all require careful consideration during inspection and testing. A commercial EICR provides an assessment of the condition of the fixed electrical installation, helping those responsible for the premises identify safety concerns and plan necessary maintenance.
We understand that electrical testing can affect day-to-day business operations, particularly where circuits supply offices, IT equipment, machinery or essential services. EPM works with customers to plan inspections around the building's requirements, discussing access, potential isolation of circuits and suitable testing arrangements in advance. Our aim is to carry out thorough inspections while keeping disruption to a practical minimum, without compromising electrical safety.
Following the inspection, you'll receive an Electrical Installation Condition Report detailing the findings, observations and any defects requiring attention. Where remedial work is needed, EPM can provide a quotation and arrange the necessary repairs, avoiding the inconvenience of finding another contractor. We can also discuss future inspection schedules and ongoing electrical maintenance for individual buildings or larger property portfolios.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does a commercial property need an EICR?
Many commercial installations are inspected at intervals of up to five years, but the appropriate frequency depends on the type of premises, installation condition, environment and previous inspection recommendations. Some installations require more frequent testing. EPM can help you establish a suitable inspection schedule based on your property's requirements.
Will our business need to shut down during EICR testing?
Not necessarily. Some electrical tests require circuits to be isolated temporarily, but the extent of disruption depends on the installation and how the building operates. We can discuss testing arrangements in advance and plan work around critical equipment and business activities wherever practical. Any limitations affecting the inspection will be recorded appropriately.
What happens if our commercial EICR is unsatisfactory?
An unsatisfactory EICR indicates that defects requiring attention have been identified. The report will detail the observations and their classification, helping you understand the urgency of any remedial work. EPM can provide a quotation for the necessary repairs and arrange further inspection or testing where required.
How long does commercial EICR testing take?
The duration depends on the number of circuits, distribution boards, size of the premises and complexity of the electrical installation. A smaller commercial unit may be completed relatively quickly, while larger offices, industrial premises and multi-building sites can require several days. We can assess the scope of work before providing an estimate of the time required.
Can EPM complete remedial works identified during an EICR?
Yes. EPM can quote for and undertake electrical remedial work following an inspection, including repairs to defective circuits, distribution boards, protective devices and other parts of the installation. Where appropriate, we can arrange the necessary verification and documentation following completion of the repairs.
