Where the Duty Comes From

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical systems in workplaces to be maintained so far as reasonably practicable to prevent danger, and the accepted way to demonstrate that is periodic inspection and testing, with the records to show for it. For most commercial premises, fixed wire testing commonly runs on a five-year cycle, though your insurer or the nature of the premises can shorten it.

The report matters beyond the law: insurers ask for it after a claim, landlords and tenants pass obligations through leases, and an unsatisfactory finding handled promptly is a paper trail; the same finding ignored is a liability.

The practical difference with commercial work is planning. Isolations are sequenced around your trading hours, sensitive equipment is shut down properly rather than abruptly, and the visit is built so the business keeps running while we test.

Need fixed wire testing at your premises?

We survey the site first, then quote a fixed itemised price and plan the isolations around your opening hours.
