What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report records the condition of fixed wiring after inspection and testing and identifies defects using recognised classification codes.
Electrical systems in commercial premises require regular inspection and maintenance to remain safe and compliant. We offer tailored maintenance contracts for businesses across Milton Keynes — covering planned preventive maintenance, EICR inspections, emergency lighting testing and priority reactive call-out support.
We provide bespoke electrical maintenance contracts for commercial premises across Milton Keynes, from small offices and retail units to larger commercial and industrial sites. Contracts are tailored to the frequency of inspection your installation requires, the compliance obligations of your sector and the level of reactive support needed. As a NICEIC-approved contractor with 35 years' experience and 24/7 emergency response capability, we're well placed to act as a single point of contact for all planned and reactive electrical maintenance.
We carry out an initial electrical audit of the premises to understand the installation, identify any immediate issues and agree on a maintenance schedule and scope that meets your compliance and operational requirements.
We carry out agreed maintenance visits at defined frequencies — including EICR inspections, emergency lighting tests, distribution board checks and any other scheduled activities in the contract scope.
Contract clients receive priority response to reactive faults and regular maintenance reports documenting inspections carried out, observations made and any recommended remedial works.
One contractor managing your planned maintenance, EICR inspections, emergency lighting and reactive faults means consistent knowledge of your site and a simpler compliance process.
Maintenance contract clients receive priority attendance for reactive faults and emergency call-outs, with agreed response times so you know what to expect when something goes wrong.
We provide regular maintenance reports and keep records of all inspections and test results, giving you straightforward evidence of compliance for insurers, auditors and regulatory bodies.
Electrical maintenance contracts are particularly valuable for businesses with compliance obligations — including landlords of commercial property, premises requiring regular emergency lighting testing under BS 5266, businesses subject to electrical safety audits or those in sectors such as hospitality, healthcare or education where downtime and electrical incidents carry significant operational and reputational risk. Our contracts are priced to provide clear visibility of maintenance costs and can include a retained budget for reactive works to avoid unexpected expenditure. We work with facilities managers, building managers and business owners and are used to working around operational hours to minimise disruption.
What does a typical electrical maintenance contract include?
Contracts typically cover periodic EICR inspections, emergency lighting testing and certification, distribution board inspections, test and inspect visits and priority reactive call-out support. Scope is agreed to match your specific premises and compliance requirements.
How often do commercial premises need an EICR?
The recommended frequency depends on the type of premises. Most commercial installations should be inspected every three to five years; higher-risk environments such as industrial sites may require annual inspections. We'll advise on the right frequency during the initial audit.
Can you take over maintenance from a previous contractor?
Yes — we regularly take over sites from other contractors. We carry out an initial audit to establish the current condition of the installation and take over from there, with a clear record of what we found and what's been done.
Get in touch and we'll carry out an initial audit, confirm what your installation requires and put together a contract that covers your compliance and operational needs.
Concise answers to the questions customers most often ask us about this service.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report records the condition of fixed wiring after inspection and testing and identifies defects using recognised classification codes.
C1 means danger present, C2 potentially dangerous, C3 improvement recommended, and FI means further investigation is required without delay.
It depends on the number of circuits, size of the property, access and condition of the installation. Testing requires power to be interrupted during stages of the inspection.
Current England guidance requires covered landlords to arrange inspection and testing by a qualified person at least every five years and to follow the reporting and remedial requirements that apply.
