Commercial EICR inspections across London

A commercial EICR is an inspection and test of the fixed electrical installation within a business or commercial property. The aim is to assess the condition of the installation, identify any deterioration, damage, non-compliance or safety issues, and record the findings in a formal Electrical Installation Condition Report. For businesses, landlords and managing agents, that report matters because it is the actual document that shows what was inspected and what was found.

For business premises

Commercial EICRs for offices, shops, restaurants, salons, workspaces, light industrial units and other operating premises where the installation needs proper assessment rather than a generic domestic-style visit.

For landlords and agents

Commercial landlords, block managers and agents often need clear reporting for occupied units, vacant premises, communal systems and mixed-use buildings with different access arrangements.

For mixed-use and communal areas

We also deal with communal and shared installations where the electrical setup sits outside a simple single-occupancy domestic arrangement and needs to be treated accordingly.

What a commercial EICR actually covers

A commercial Electrical Installation Condition Report is not just a glance at a fuse board and a few socket tests. It is a structured inspection and testing process on the fixed installation. The exact scope depends on the premises, but in commercial environments that usually means a more involved assessment than many domestic jobs.

Inspection of the installation

That includes distribution equipment, protective devices, earthing and bonding arrangements, fixed wiring, accessories and the general condition of the installation as a whole.

Testing and coded reporting

The results are recorded on an EICR with coded observations where relevant, making it clear whether the installation is satisfactory or whether defects, deterioration or further investigation have been identified.

Types of commercial premises we inspect

Commercial work in London is not one-size-fits-all. Different premises have different access issues, operating hours, equipment demands and levels of complexity. This page is written for that reality.

Offices and workspaces

Office EICRs for managed suites, private offices, serviced workspaces and multi-room business premises where continuity, access and tenant coordination may all matter.

Shops and retail units

Commercial EICRs for high street shops, retail units, salons and front-of-house trading spaces, including installations altered over time to suit different occupiers.

Restaurants and hospitality

Inspections for restaurants, cafés and hospitality spaces where load patterns, kitchen equipment, busy hours and access restrictions often make the job more involved.

Mixed-use buildings

Reporting for premises combining commercial and residential elements, especially where there are communal supplies, shared boards or separate occupancies to account for.

Communal and landlord areas

EICRs for landlord electrical installations in hallways, plant spaces, service areas and other communal parts of buildings where clear ownership and reporting matters.

Other business premises

If the installation is commercial in nature, the page is built to capture it. Tell us the building type, what it is used for, and we can deal with the job on the proper basis.

Why commercial EICRs need a different approach

Commercial installations often carry more circuits, more varied usage, more historic alterations and tighter access constraints than domestic ones. That means the inspection needs to be planned properly. It is also why a page built around commercial EICR search intent needs its own space on the site rather than being buried as a sentence on a generic home page.

More complexity

Offices, shops and mixed-use premises often have layered alterations from previous tenants or previous fit outs. The reporting needs to reflect the installation that is actually there, not the one someone assumes should be there.

More coordination

Access windows, occupancy, trading hours and operational constraints often mean commercial inspection work has to be approached more carefully than a straightforward domestic appointment.

How the commercial EICR process works

The process is built to get clear information up front so the inspection can be priced and planned on a proper basis rather than guessed.

1

Send the details

Tell us the building type, location, whether it is occupied, and anything relevant about size, access, operating hours or layout.

2

Job assessed

We assess the premises on the information provided, request anything else needed, and price the work on the actual job rather than on a made-up headline figure.

3

Inspection carried out

The fixed electrical installation is inspected and tested, with observations recorded in accordance with the reporting process.

4

Report issued

You receive the commercial EICR with the outcome and any coded observations clearly laid out for review and next steps.

Observation codes on a commercial EICR

If issues are found during inspection, they are recorded using standard observation codes. Those codes matter because they determine how serious the issue is considered and whether the report is satisfactory.

C1, C2, C3 and FI

Commercial EICRs use the same coding principles you will see elsewhere: C1, C2, C3 and FI. The difference in commercial settings is often the wider context around the installation and how those observations relate to occupancy, access and usage.

Clearer reporting helps everyone

For businesses, landlords and managing agents, the point is not just to receive a result, but to receive a report that actually makes sense and can be reviewed properly with any next actions clearly understood.

Commercial EICR cost depends on the real installation

No serious commercial electrician should pretend a shop, office suite, restaurant and mixed-use building all fit one lazy price point. Commercial EICR cost depends on the actual premises. That includes circuit count, distribution arrangement, access, size, occupancy, layout and how involved the inspection is likely to be.

Premises type

A small office and a restaurant unit are not the same job. The type of premises changes the likely testing scope, access issues and inspection planning.

Installation size

Board count, circuit count and the general size of the installation all affect the work involved. That is why sensible pricing starts with the details.

Access and operation

If the premises are occupied, customer-facing, time-restricted or require phased access, that needs to be accounted for in the job from the start.
