Commercial EICR Electrical Inspections in Bristol

A commercial EICR is a thorough inspection and test of the fixed electrical installation in your business premises. It covers everything from the incoming supply and main switchgear through to distribution boards, sub-circuits, and final accessories across the entire building. The report identifies defects, deterioration, and non-compliance with the current edition of BS 7671 — the UK Wiring Regulations.

Commercial installations are typically larger and more complex than domestic properties, often involving three-phase supplies, multiple distribution boards, dedicated machinery circuits, and specialist systems. Our electricians have extensive experience inspecting offices, retail units, restaurants, warehouses, workshops, and multi-tenanted commercial buildings. We test every circuit systematically, recording results against the appropriate schedules of inspection and test.

Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, employers and duty holders have a legal obligation to ensure that electrical systems are maintained in a safe condition. A valid EICR is the accepted method of demonstrating compliance. Most commercial insurers also require a current EICR as a condition of cover. MB Electrical provides efficient, professional commercial EICR testing across Bristol with flexible scheduling — including out-of-hours and weekend appointments — so your business operations are not disrupted.

MB Electrical holds NICEIC Approved Contractor status — the highest tier of NICEIC accreditation. This requires regular assessment of competence across domestic, commercial, and industrial electrical work, ensuring that every project we deliver meets the highest professional standards.

Our Commercial EICR Process

1

Scope & Scheduling

We discuss your premises, the number of circuits and distribution boards, and agree a schedule that works around your business operations. Out-of-hours and weekend appointments are available.

2

Visual Inspection

We carry out a detailed visual inspection of switchgear, distribution boards, cable routes, earthing and bonding arrangements, and a representative sample of accessories throughout the building.

3

Circuit Testing

Every circuit is tested using calibrated instruments to verify insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance, RCD operation, and polarity. We work systematically through each distribution board to minimise downtime.

4

Report & Recommendations

You receive a comprehensive EICR report with all observations coded to the standard classification system. We explain the findings clearly and provide a prioritised list of any remedial work required.

5

Remedial Work & Re-Test

If defects are found, we provide a quotation for the remedial work and can schedule repairs efficiently. Once remedial work is completed, we re-test the affected circuits and issue an updated satisfactory report.

Pricing Tailored to Your Project

Commercial EICR costs depend on the size of your premises and the number of circuits. We provide free, no-obligation quotes with competitive rates and volume discounts for multi-site programmes.
