Commercial Electrical Testing & Inspection Services
Electrical installations can deteriorate through age, wear, damage and changing demands. Regular inspection and testing help identify potential hazards and assess whether an installation remains suitable for continued use.
Sangallo provides commercial electrical testing services including:
The appropriate testing depends on the building, installation condition, previous inspection findings and operational requirements.
Where defects or deterioration are identified, our commercial electrical maintenance services can support subsequent repairs and improvements.
- Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)
- Commercial fixed wire testing
- Periodic electrical inspections
- Distribution board and circuit testing
- Inspection of earthing and bonding arrangements
- Electrical fault identification
- Testing associated with installation alterations
- Electrical installation certification where applicable
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for Commercial Properties
An Electrical Installation Condition Report assesses the condition of an existing fixed electrical installation and identifies defects, deterioration or other issues that may affect electrical safety.
Commercial EICRs provide businesses and property managers with documented findings to help inform maintenance decisions and address electrical risks.
Commercial EICR Inspections
Our electricians inspect and test relevant elements of the fixed electrical installation, assessing their condition against applicable requirements of BS 7671. The inspection may cover distribution equipment, circuits, protective devices, earthing, bonding and other accessible components within the agreed scope.
Electrical Reports & Recommendations
Following inspection and testing, an EICR documents the condition of the installation, relevant observations and recommendations. Where remedial work is required, Sangallo can discuss suitable electrical repairs or upgrades based on the findings.
Identifying Electrical Safety Issues
An EICR records observations using recognised classification codes:
C1 - Danger Present: Immediate action is required to address the danger.
C2 - Potentially Dangerous: Urgent remedial action is required.
C3 - Improvement Recommended: An improvement is advised but is not classified as an immediate or potential danger.
FI - Further Investigation Required: Further investigation is needed without delay.
These findings help establish which electrical issues require attention and their relative urgency.
Fixed Wire Testing & Periodic Electrical Inspections
Fixed wire testing examines the permanent electrical installation within a building, helping identify deterioration, defects and potential safety concerns.
Periodic inspection and testing can form part of a planned electrical maintenance programme, supporting the ongoing management of commercial premises.
Distribution Boards & Electrical Circuits
Testing can assess distribution boards, circuits and protective arrangements to identify defects or conditions requiring attention.
Earthing, Bonding & Electrical Protection
Inspection and testing help establish whether relevant protective measures remain suitable for the installation and its intended use.
Electrical Installation Condition
The inspection considers factors such as deterioration, damage, previous alterations and the suitability of electrical equipment within the agreed scope.
lanned Periodic Testing
Inspection intervals should reflect the installation's condition, use, environment, previous findings and relevant guidance rather than assuming every commercial property requires the same testing frequency.
Our commercial electrical maintenance services can support ongoing electrical maintenance requirements.

Electrical Safety Compliance & Business Responsibilities
Businesses and those responsible for commercial premises have duties to maintain electrical systems safely.
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical systems to be maintained, so far as reasonably practicable, to prevent danger. Inspection and testing can help demonstrate how electrical risks are being managed.
Relevant considerations include:
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
BS 7671 IET Wiring Regulations
Applicable inspection and testing guidance
The condition and age of the electrical installation
The building's use and operating environment
Previous inspection findings and remedial work
Appropriate documentation and maintenance records

Our Approach to Commercial Electrical Testing in Kent & London
Effective electrical inspection starts with understanding the installation, the building's use and the purpose of the assessment.
Discuss Your Testing Requirements
We establish the property type, existing installation and reason for inspection, including any previous reports or known electrical issues.
Define the Inspection Scope
We determine the appropriate inspection and testing requirements, considering the installation, available documentation and operational constraints.
Inspect & Test the Installation
Our electricians undertake the agreed inspection and testing, identifying relevant defects, deterioration and electrical safety concerns.
Report Findings & Recommend Next Steps
We provide the appropriate inspection report, recording observations and any recommended remedial action. Where required, we can discuss further investigation, repairs or electrical upgrades.
Electrical Remedial Work Following an EICR
An EICR may identify electrical defects requiring repair, further investigation or improvements to the existing installation.
Depending on the findings, remedial work may involve:
- Repairing damaged electrical components
- Addressing defective circuits or connections
- Improving earthing or bonding arrangements
- Replacing unsuitable protective devices
- Upgrading distribution boards
- Correcting issues with existing electrical infrastructure
- Further investigation of identified faults

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a Commercial EICR?
A commercial Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses the condition of a property’s fixed electrical installation. It identifies defects, deterioration and potential safety concerns, providing documented findings and recommendations for further action where necessary.
How Often Does a Commercial Property Need an EICR?
The appropriate inspection interval depends on the installation, its condition, use and operating environment. Five years is a commonly recommended maximum interval for many commercial premises, but some installations require more frequent inspection. The previous report and relevant guidance should inform the next inspection date.
Is an EICR a Legal Requirement for Businesses?
Commercial premises must meet applicable electrical safety obligations, including duties under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Although these regulations do not impose one universal EICR interval for every business, periodic inspection and testing can help demonstrate appropriate electrical safety management.
What Happens If an EICR Is Unsatisfactory?
An unsatisfactory EICR indicates that potentially dangerous conditions or issues requiring further investigation have been identified. The report will detail the observations and classifications. Appropriate remedial work or investigation should then be arranged, with further verification and documentation as necessary.
Will Electrical Testing Disrupt Business Operations?
Some electrical tests require circuits or equipment to be temporarily isolated. The extent of disruption depends on the installation and agreed testing scope. We can discuss access, operational requirements and scheduling before work begins.
Can Sangallo Carry Out Repairs Identified During an EICR?
Yes. Alongside inspection and testing, Sangallo provides commercial electrical maintenance, fault finding, repairs and installation upgrades. Where an EICR identifies defects, we can discuss suitable remedial work based on the report findings.
