Commercial EICR Testing — London & Kent, Fixed Price
A commercial EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is how you prove your premises' electrics are safe — for insurance, for licensing, for your landlord obligations and for the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. DM Electrotechnical Services Ltd delivers fixed-price commercial EICRs across London and Kent with minimal disruption to your business.
We test out of hours where needed, report quickly with plain-English explanations of any defects, and price remedial work immediately so you can close out C1 and C2 items without a second contractor. Call 07535 810812 for a fixed quote.
Who needs a commercial EICR?
Duty holders under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 must maintain electrical systems in a safe condition — and an in-date EICR is the accepted evidence that you have.
Offices & professional premises
Recommended every 5 years. Insurers increasingly ask for the report at renewal.
Shops & retail units
Recommended every 5 years — more frequently for older installations or heavy footfall sites.
Restaurants, cafés & takeaways
Kitchens are harsher environments; testing is typically recommended every 5 years with interim visual inspections.
Industrial units & workshops
Recommended every 3 years due to heavier loads, three-phase plant and harsher conditions.
Commercial landlords
An in-date EICR protects your lease obligations and is routinely requested by tenants' solicitors.
Licensed premises
Local authority licensing frequently requires an in-date certificate — pubs, venues, HMO-adjacent premises.
How a commercial EICR visit works
You send us your distribution board count and premises size — we return a fixed price, not an estimate.
We agree a testing window — including nights or weekends if circuits can't be isolated during trading.
Inspection and testing — every circuit is tested, every board inspected, with photographs of defects.
You receive the report with observations coded C1–C3 and FI, a plain-English summary, and a fixed price for any remedial work required.
Understanding the observation codes
- C1 — Danger present. Immediate risk; we make it safe on the day and notify you before leaving site.
- C2 — Potentially dangerous. Must be remedied for the report to be satisfactory; we quote remedials with the report.
- C3 — Improvement recommended. Not a failure, but worth planning into future maintenance.
- FI — Further investigation required. Something needs deeper investigation before it can be classified.
Remedial works from an unsatisfactory EICR can be unplanned costs. Spread them — finance available via Klarna and Clearpay, and staged invoicing on larger remedial packages.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does a commercial property need an EICR?
The IET's guidance is every 5 years for most commercial premises (offices, shops, restaurants), every 3 years for industrial units, and annually for some specialist environments. Your insurer or licence conditions may set shorter intervals — we'll advise on your specific premises.
Will the testing disrupt our business?
Some circuits must be isolated briefly during testing. Where that isn't workable during trading hours, we test at night or over a weekend — a large proportion of our commercial EICRs are done out of hours for exactly this reason.
How much does a commercial EICR cost?
It depends on the number of distribution boards and circuits, not floor area alone. Send us a photo of your board(s) or a brief description and we'll give you a fixed price — typically same day.
What happens if the report is unsatisfactory?
The report will list the C1 and C2 defects that caused the fail. We price the remedial work alongside the report, complete it quickly, and issue certification confirming the installation is now satisfactory — one contractor, no gap in your compliance.
