A Commercial EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a periodic inspection and test of every fixed electrical installation on a commercial premises, distribution boards, sub-mains, lighting, power, emergency lighting wiring, machine connections, issued against BS 7671 with each observation classified C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended) or FI (further investigation). We do them for landlords with HMO and licensed-let portfolios across Lenton and Beeston, retail tenants on Bridlesmith Gate and Victoria Street, office occupiers in the Lace Market, warehouse and light-industrial operators in NG6/NG7, and managing agents responsible for compliance across multiple sites at once. Triggered by either: a fixed inspection cycle (5-yearly for most commercial premises, annually for HMOs), insurer renewal, change of tenancy, or pre-sale due diligence. We tell you the right interval for your premises before we quote, some insurers demand 3-yearly even when the regs say 5. ![Commercial EICR being carried out at a Nottingham office distribution board, multifunction tester recording values](/assets/hero-commercial-eicr-BJoI8gFJ.jpg) The honest bit ## Why commercial EICRs fail (and how it costs you) We see the same five things every month. Plastic distribution boards in service after 2018 (now coded C2). RCD timing out of spec on circuits feeding wet rooms. Sub-mains undersized after a fit-out added load. Inadequate labelling and circuit charts so isolation in an emergency is guesswork. And accumulated DIY by previous tenants where nobody knows what feeds what. Each is fixable. The cost of leaving them is the bigger issue. An Unsatisfactory EICR voids most commercial property insurance at renewal, blocks a sale or refinance, fails an HMO licence inspection, and, worst case, leaves the duty-holder personally exposed under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 if a fault causes injury. Most providers issue a list of failures and disappear. We issue a costed remedial plan with each remedial line itemised, so the duty-holder can either accept the price and have us close the actions, or take the schedule out to tender and act on it within the next inspection cycle. How we deliver it ## Our commercial EICR process, step by step. 1. 1\. Pre-survey We confirm circuit count, supply type, business hours and any restrictions. Most quotes go out same day. 2. 2\. RAMS issued Method statements and risk assessments to your H&S team or managing agent before site access, required for most landlords. 3. 3\. Test on site Sample-tested or 100% tested depending on property type. Live and dead testing, thermography on distribution where included. 4. 4\. C1/C2/C3 schedule Every observation logged with photo, BS 7671 reference and remedial code. No ambiguity. 5. 5\. Costed remedial plan Fixed prices against every C1/C2/FI item. You decide what to close now, what to phase, what to leave at C3. ![Reterminated junction in a Wago-boxed maintenance-free enclosure after EICR remedials on a Nottinghamshire property](/assets/work-hucknall-eicr-after-B8urU9VP.jpg) Why it matters ## What you actually get. ### Insurer-ready format We issue in NICEIC commercial format, accepted by AXA, Aviva, Allianz, Zurich and Hiscox without query. ### Out-of-hours testing Most EICRs run evenings or weekends. Trading floor stays clear, signage stays up, the till keeps ringing. ### Costed remedials, not just a list Every C1/C2/FI is itemised with a fixed price, so you can budget and action it, not chase three more quotes. ### Single point of contact One named project lead. You won't be passed between schedulers and you won't get a different name on every email. Technical depth ## Sample testing, frequency, HMO rules, and what ‘unsatisfactory’ actually means Commercial EICRs are usually sample-tested rather than 100% tested. Standard sampling is 20% of final circuits across the installation, plus 100% of distribution. We sample more heavily on suspected high-risk circuits and on premises with previous Unsatisfactory reports. Sample size and methodology is recorded on the front of the report, auditors check this. Frequency depends on premises type. Standard offices and retail are 5-yearly. HMOs licensed under Housing Act 2004 are 5-yearly statutorily, but most local authority licence conditions ask for annual visual inspections in addition. Industrial sites are often 3-yearly due to environmental factors, and high-risk environments (laboratories, garages, kitchens, cold stores) can be annual. Insurers can override and shorten any interval. An Unsatisfactory EICR carries one or more C1 (danger present) or C2 (potentially dangerous) observations. C1 means the duty-holder must isolate the affected circuit on receipt of the report, the engineer often does this on site before leaving. C2 must be remedied for the report to be reissued as Satisfactory. C3 (improvement recommended) does not affect the overall result but should be addressed at next maintenance opportunity. FI (further investigation) means the engineer found something needing time and tools to diagnose, common on neglected installations with poor circuit identification. Honest pricing ## Commercial EICR costs in Nottingham, real ranges, not headlines. Commercial EICR pricing scales with circuit count, distribution board count and access requirements. Below are honest ranges from the last 12 months. Scope Typical price (incl. VAT) Notes Small office / retail (under 1,500 sq ft, 1 DB) £280 – £450 1–2 hour test, single distribution board. Medium commercial / HMO (1,500–4,000 sq ft, 2 DBs) £450 – £850 Most common bracket, typical office floor or 6-bed HMO. Large premises / multi-DB (4,000–10,000 sq ft) £850 – £1,800 Multiple distribution boards, sub-mains testing, possible thermography included. Industrial / multi-tenant building (10,000+ sq ft) £1,800 – £4,500+ Quoted by site survey only, every site different. ### What changes the price - Number of distribution boards and final circuits - Whether testing is 100% or sampled - Out-of-hours premium (typically 25%) - Thermography included or quoted separately - Travel time outside Nottingham to East Midlands sites Where we deliver this ## Areas we cover for commercial EICR.
