Commercial Electrical Installation Condition Reports
A Commercial EICR London is a formal assessment of an existing fixed electrical installation. Its purpose is to establish whether the installation remains in a suitable condition for continued use and to identify electrical defects or deterioration that may present a safety concern. Commercial installations can change significantly over time. New equipment may be added, circuits altered, tenants may carry out fit-out works and older electrical systems may operate alongside newer installations. An EICR provides a structured way to assess the installation as it currently exists rather than relying only on its age or previous documentation. During the inspection, issues may be identified involving damaged wiring, inadequate earthing, defective protective devices, overheating, circuit faults, unsafe alterations or electrical equipment requiring further investigation. The completed report provides a clear record of the electrical condition of the premises at the date of inspection.
Who Needs a Commercial EICR?
Commercial EICRs can be useful for landlords, business owners, tenants, managing agents, facilities managers and commercial property buyers. A commercial landlord may require an EICR for landlord-controlled supplies, shared electrical systems or individual commercial units. Responsibility can vary depending on the lease and building arrangement. Businesses and commercial tenants can also use periodic electrical inspection as part of their ongoing electrical safety and maintenance programme. This is particularly important where the premises contain significant electrical equipment, high electrical loads or installations that have been altered over time. Managing agents and facilities managers may use EICRs to monitor electrical condition across one property or a larger portfolio, while buyers and incoming tenants can use an inspection to gain a better understanding of the electrical installation before taking responsibility for a property.
Is a Commercial EICR Required?
Businesses, employers, landlords and other dutyholders have responsibilities to maintain electrical systems so that they do not give rise to danger. A Commercial EICR is a recognised method of assessing the condition of a fixed electrical installation and can form an important part of an effective electrical maintenance programme. The need for electrical inspection may also be influenced by: Commercial lease conditions, Insurance requirements, Health and safety procedures, Property management policies, Facilities management programmes. Property purchases or new tenancies. Responsibility for arranging an EICR can differ from one commercial property to another, so the lease and actual control of the electrical installation should also be considered.
Our Process
Our streamlined process makes it easy to keep your property safe, compliant, and fully certified from start to finish.
Send Your Property Details
Provide the address, type of premises, number of distribution boards, approximate number of circuits and your preferred inspection details. This helps us understand the likely scope before attendance.
Scope and Plan the Inspection
For larger properties, we may review distribution board photographs, previous reports, circuit schedules or details of three-phase systems. Any restrictions relating to electrical isolation can also be discussed.
Inspection and Electrical Testing
Our electrical professional carries out the agreed visual inspection and electrical testing while considering the site's access requirements and normal business operations.
Receive Your Report and Remedial Support
You receive your completed digital Commercial EICR showing test results, observations and the overall assessment. If defects are found, we can also provide a quotation for the required remedial electrical works.
How Often Should a Commercial EICR Be Carried Out?
There is no single inspection interval that is appropriate for every commercial electrical installation. The recommended period depends on the type of premises, the environment, the condition of the electrical system and how heavily the installation is used. For example, a straightforward office installation may experience very different conditions from an industrial workshop, commercial kitchen or warehouse where electrical equipment is exposed to heavier loads, heat, moisture, dust or mechanical damage. The previous inspection findings, maintenance history and any changes to the installation should also be considered when determining the next inspection period. If you already have an EICR, the recommended next inspection date stated on the report should be used as part of your electrical maintenance planning.
What Does Commercial EICR Testing Include?
A commercial EICR combines visual inspection with electrical testing. The exact scope will depend on the size, complexity and condition of the installation. The inspection may include an assessment of distribution boards, fixed wiring, earthing arrangements, protective bonding, circuit protection, RCDs, electrical accessories and other accessible parts of the fixed electrical system. Relevant testing may include:
Continuity testing, Insulation resistance testing, Polarity testing, Earth fault loop impedance testing, RCD testing, Protective device assessment, Circuit identification checks
The test results and observations are recorded within the report, together with an overall assessment of the installation.

Commercial Properties We Inspect
SafeHome London provides Commercial EICR inspections for a wide range of business and commercial properties across London. Offices and Corporate Buildings, Office installations can include lighting circuits, socket circuits, IT equipment, server rooms, air-conditioning supplies, kitchens and multiple distribution boards. Electrical isolation can be planned carefully to help reduce disruption to staff.
Shops and Retail Units, Retail electrical systems are often altered when tenants or shop layouts change. An EICR can identify deterioration, unsafe modifications and circuit information that no longer reflects the actual installation.
Restaurants and Commercial Kitchens, Restaurants, cafés and commercial kitchens can place significant demand on electrical installations due to cooking equipment, refrigeration, extraction systems, dishwashers and other high-load equipment.
Hotels and Hospitality Premises, Hotels may contain guest rooms, restaurants, kitchens, bars, laundry facilities, communal areas and plant equipment. Larger premises may benefit from phased electrical testing.
Warehouses and Industrial Units, Warehouses, workshops and industrial premises may contain high-level lighting, machinery, three-phase systems and large distribution arrangements. Inspection requirements can therefore differ significantly from a standard office or retail property.
Schools, Healthcare and Community Buildings, Educational, healthcare and community premises often require additional access and isolation planning, particularly where areas remain occupied or sensitive electrical equipment is present. We can also provide commercial EICRs for gyms, leisure facilities, mixed-use buildings, charities, places of worship and other managed commercial premises.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a Commercial EICR?
A Commercial EICR is an Electrical Installation Condition Report produced after inspection and testing of a commercial property’s fixed electrical installation. It provides a record of the installation’s condition and highlights relevant electrical safety issues.
What Types of Commercial Properties Can You Inspect?
We provide Commercial EICRs for offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, warehouses, industrial units, schools, mixed-use properties and many other commercial premises across London.
How Much Does a Commercial EICR Cost in London?
The cost depends on the number of circuits, distribution boards, electrical supply, complexity of the installation and any access or isolation restrictions. Providing basic installation details allows us to give a more accurate quotation.
How Often Should a Commercial EICR Be Carried Out?
The appropriate inspection interval depends on the type of installation, its condition, environment, usage and previous inspection findings. If you already have an EICR, check the recommended date for the next inspection.
Will the Power Need to Be Switched Off?
Some electrical tests require circuits to be isolated. Where practical, testing can be planned or phased to minimise disruption to normal business operations.
