The Service
What Is Commercial Electrical Inspections?
A commercial electrical inspection is an EICR for business premises — a formal inspection and test of the fixed electrical installation in an office, shop, warehouse or other commercial property.
Commercial installations are often larger and more complex than domestic ones, with three-phase supplies, emergency lighting and fire alarm systems. The inspection covers all of it and records whether the installation is safe for continued use.

Why It Matters
Why Professional Electrical Work Matters
Businesses have a legal duty to keep the workplace safe, including the electrical installation. A commercial EICR is the standard evidence that duty is met — and insurers often require it.
Commercial faults can be more serious — disrupting trading, endangering staff and customers, and in some premises (e.g. with refrigeration or machinery) causing costly losses. Regular inspection finds risks before they become incidents.
Costs & Pricing
Costs & What Affects Pricing
Pricing for electrical work depends on the job. Here are the factors that typically affect the cost of this service.
- The size and complexity of the premises
- The number of circuits and distribution boards
- Whether three-phase or specialist systems are involved
- Whether remedial work is needed after the report
- Whether out-of-hours testing is required to minimise disruption
Commercial EICRs are priced by the size and complexity of the installation. Remedial work is quoted separately. Tell us about the premises.
