Complete Electrical Testing & Compliance Services
Electrical compliance is not simply about obtaining a certificate.
Businesses and property owners have responsibilities for maintaining electrical systems so they do not present unreasonable risks to employees, tenants, visitors or building users.
Over time, electrical installations can deteriorate through age, environmental conditions, damage, modifications and increased electrical demand.
Professional inspection and testing helps identify deterioration and defects before they develop into more serious problems.
BM Electricals provides a complete approach:
- Consultation survey
- Quotations
- installations
- certification
- aftercare

Danger Present
An issue presenting immediate danger and requiring urgent action to make the installation safe.
C2
Potentially Dangerous
A condition considered potentially dangerous and requiring urgent remedial action.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report assesses the condition of an existing electrical installation and identifies observations requiring attention.
Is an EICR the same as fixed wire testing?
The terms are often used together. Fixed wire inspection and testing forms the technical assessment used to evaluate an existing electrical installation, with findings documented through the appropriate reporting process.
How often does a commercial property need electrical testing?
There isn’t one interval that should simply be applied to every building. The appropriate frequency depends on factors including the installation type, use, condition, environment, previous recommendations and applicable regulatory or contractual requirements.
What happens if an EICR identifies problems?
The report records observations and appropriate classification codes. BM Electricals can then provide a quotation for necessary remedial works or further investigation.
Can you complete the remedial works?
Yes. Our commercial electrical engineers can complete appropriate remedial work following an inspection.
Do you provide emergency lighting testing?
Yes. We provide emergency lighting inspection, testing, maintenance and remedial services.
Do you provide PAT testing?
Yes, where required as part of a client’s electrical safety programme.
Can you test multiple properties?
Yes. We can support multi-site inspection programmes across commercial and managed property portfolios.
Can you work outside normal operating hours?
Where agreed, testing can be scheduled around building operations to minimise disruption.
Can testing form part of a maintenance contract?
Yes. Electrical testing and compliance activities can be integrated into a wider Planned Preventative Maintenance programme.
Need Electrical Testing or a Compliance Programme?
Whether you require an EICR for a single commercial building, fixed wire testing across multiple sites or a complete testing, remedial and maintenance programme, BM Electricals can provide a professional end-to-end solution.
