FIXED-WIRE TESTING
The Scope of Testing
A commercial EICR assesses the condition of the fixed electrical installation in your Chigwell premises. We plan each inspection around how your business operates, so testing is thorough and disruption is kept to a minimum.
01 — Agreeing the scope
We confirm which distribution boards, circuits and areas are included, and note any limitations before work begins.
02 — Planning access and shutdowns
Access to rooms and plant areas is arranged in advance, and any power isolations are scheduled at agreed times to suit your operations.
03 — Inspection and fixed-wire testing
Visual inspection is combined with testing of circuits, protective devices and earthing to assess the condition of the installation.
04 — Reporting and recommendations
You receive a clear report of observations, with any remedial work explained and quoted separately so you can plan next steps.
REPORTING & REMEDIALS
Clear reports, practical next steps
You receive a written report and test schedules, including classified observations and separately quoted remedials. Larger commercial testing requires a site visit before a firm quotation. An EICR is separate from PAT testing, emergency-lighting testing and thermal surveys.

Quote Information Required
To prepare an accurate quote for commercial EICR testing or electrical work in Chigwell and the surrounding area, it helps to share a few details about your premises up front. If you are unsure of anything, just tell us what you know and we will confirm the rest with you.
01. Premises Type & Size
What the building is used for (office, retail, warehouse, hospitality) and its approximate square footage or number of floors.
02. Fuse Board Photos
Clear photos of each distribution board, plus the number of boards and circuits if known. This helps us estimate testing time.
03. Previous Reports
A copy of your last EICR or any recent electrical certificates, if available, so we can review earlier observations.
04. Access & Shutdowns
Your preferred working hours, any areas with restricted access, and when power can be safely switched off for agreed shutdowns.
EICR FAQS
Common questions about commercial EICR testing
How often should a commercial EICR be carried out?
The right interval depends on the type of premises, how it is used and the recommendation on your previous report. We can review your last EICR and advise on a sensible retest date for your building.
Will testing disrupt my business?
Fixed-wire testing requires circuits to be isolated for short periods. We plan access in advance and agree any shutdowns with you, including out-of-hours options where practical, to keep disruption to a minimum.
What happens if issues are found?
Your report records any observations with classification codes and clear remedial recommendations. We can then quote for the remedial work so you can decide on the next steps.
What do you need to provide a quote?
Tell us the type of premises, approximate size, number of distribution boards, any previous EICR and your preferred access times. This helps us give an accurate, no-obligation quote.
