Ensure the safety and compliance of your commercial premises with professional periodic electrical inspections. Whether you manage offices, retail units, industrial sites or public buildings, we provide thorough Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) to keep your systems legally compliant and operating safely.

A periodic inspection is essential to identify any hidden issues, prevent electrical hazards, and ensure your installation meets the standards set out in the current IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).

Whatever your electrical project involves, we’ll provide clear advice, effective solutions, and a competitive quote.

What is a Periodic Electrical Inspection?

A periodic inspection is a specific type of electrical inspection (also known as an EICR) that involves a detailed assessment of your electrical installation to check for:

  • Defects or signs of wear and tear 
  • Overloaded circuits or equipment 
  • Risks of electric shock or fire 
  • Compliance with current safety standards 
  • Faulty wiring, connections or outdated systems 

Following the inspection, you’ll receive a full report outlining the condition of the installation, any recommended remedial works, and a clear compliance status.

WHO NEEDS A PERIODIC INSPECTION?

Periodic inspections are a legal requirement in many cases and strongly recommended in others. Typical frequencies include:

  • Commercial properties – every 5 years 
  • Rental properties – every 5 years or at each change of tenancy 
  • Owner-occupied homes – every 10 years 

Regular inspection and testing helps prevent electrical hazards, reduce insurance risks, and maintain compliance with landlord and business obligations.

 

You may need a full electrical inspection if:

  • You’re experiencing frequent electrical issues (tripping circuits, flickering lights, power loss) 
  • There’s been a fire, flood or major electrical fault 
  • You’ve recently had major building or electrical work done 
  • You suspect the installation is unsafe or tampered with 
  • There’s no previous record of inspection or testing 

This would be a comprehensive, often more urgent assessment of all wiring, circuits, accessories and components – often more extensive than a routine EICR.
