Commercial EICRs for Talke businesses
- 01
Why businesses need one
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 say electrical systems at work must be maintained so they are safe. A periodic inspection and test is the usual way to show this. Insurers, landlords and fire risk assessors often ask to see a current report as well.

Recommended testing intervals
For most offices and shops, the recommended gap between inspections is 5 years. Some premises, such as industrial units and places open to the public, need testing more often. The previous report should say when the next one is due, and we confirm it on yours.

Planning around your business
Testing means switching circuits off one at a time. We agree a plan with you first, covering which areas are affected and when, so tills, servers and equipment can be shut down safely. Larger premises can be tested in stages over more than one visit.
What to expect from commercial EICRs
Before the visit, we ask about the size of the premises, the number of distribution boards and any equipment that must not lose power without warning. We also ask for the previous report if you have one, as it helps us plan the testing.
On site, we inspect the boards, wiring and accessories, then test each circuit. Afterwards you receive the full report with observations and codes. Any C1, C2 or FI items are explained, and we quote separately for the remedial work.

Common questions about commercial EICRs
How often does a shop or office in Talke need a commercial EICR?
For most shops and offices in Talke, the recommended interval is 5 years, unless the last report says sooner. Some premises, such as industrial units and venues open to the public, need shorter intervals. Your insurer or landlord may also set their own requirements.
Will a commercial EICR shut down my business in Stoke-on-Trent?
No. Circuits are switched off one at a time, not all at once, and we agree the order with you before we start. Most businesses stay open while we test. Equipment that cannot lose power is planned for, so nothing is switched off without warning.
Who is responsible for the commercial EICR on a rented unit?
It depends on your lease. Often the landlord is responsible for the fixed wiring and the tenant for anything they have added, but some leases pass the whole duty to the tenant. Check your lease, and if you are unsure, we can test the parts you are responsible for.
What happens if faults are found on a commercial EICR near Kidsgrove?
Anything dangerous is made safe on the day. Other faults are listed with their codes, and we give you a quote for the remedial work. Once the repairs are done and tested, you receive the certificates, so your records show the installation has been put right.
